What we learned about Biff (1-2 pgs, erring towards 1.5)
Biff is a foil to Willy
Biff is the reality in reality vs fantasy conflict in death of a salesman
He is reacting to a chronic liar who has a blurred line between truth and falsehood
Biff is very protective of Linda
Biff goes off the way that Willy wanted to
Willy is very important to Biff
Biff is worried about his father
He's a guy who's kinda just tried to please his dad till he found stuff out and started believing his dad was a phony and then he was conflicted and then he decided to do what was going to be the best path and not just arbitrarily follow what his dad says
Willy always criticizes biff
Also loss of faith in his dad's hopes for him
While happy got less bashful, biff got more
Why is that?
Biff is put under a lot of stress, his parents are making him "choose"
There's the idea he has that his kids owe him?
He doesn't know what Willy wants from him
Intro to Biff as a character
Biff is a seeker of truth
Thesis?
