Death of a Salesman - Linda Loman
questions and answers
'Developed an iron repression of her exceptions to Willy's behaviour' - answer Linda loves Willy,
despite his mistreatment of her and how he underappreciates what she does for him.
\'The mind is what counts, dear.' - answer Linda recognises that Willy is tormented by his
inability to achieve his dreams.
\'[She is taking off his shoes]' - answer Linda is loyal, hardworking and does her best to ease the
burden on Willy.
\'You shouldn't have criticised him (Biff)' and 'You know how he admires you' - answer Linda
desperately tries to prevent Willy and Biff from fighting.
\'[With infinite patience]' - answer
\'They got the biggest ads of any of them!' - answer Linda, just like Willy, seems to value
consumerism as important.
\'You're the handsomest man in the world' and 'To me you are' - answer
\'He's better give back that football' and 'He's too rough with the girls' - answer Linda disagrees
with Willy's praise of Biff when he steals the football, she's able to see the faults in her son
where Willy refuses to.
\'[Coldly, frightened]' - answer Contrary to Willy's views, Linda sees Ben and his wild business
ideas as a threat to her family life.
\'Come around more often; you'll hear him' - answer Linda is perhaps slightly bitter that her two
sons, especially Biff, abandoned her and barely visit or write.
\'Why are you so hateful to eachother' - answer
\'Either he's your father and you pay him that respect, or else you're not to come here' - answer
In a choice between her son ad Willy, Linda chooses to stick by her husband - emphasises her
loyalty.
\'He's not easy to get along with - nobody knows that better than me' - answer Despite all the
ways that Willy has mistreated her (e.g. stopped her from joining in to conversations) she still
loves him massively.
\'I don't say he's a great man' - answer Linda doesn't care about money or popularity, she
doesn't hold the same values as her husband. She's happy with her life the way it is.
