The Death Of a Salesman Act 1 Quote

BIFF: Why? You’re making money, aren’t you? 

HAPPY (moving about with energy, expressiveness): All I can do

now is wait for the merchandise manager to die. And suppose I get to be merchandise manager? He’s a good friend of mine, and he just built a terrific estate on Long Island. And he lived there about two months and sold it, and now he’s building an- other one. He can’t enjoy it once it’s finished. And I know that’s just what I would do. I don’t know what the hell I’m workin’ for. Sometimes I sit in my apartment — all alone. And I think of the rent I’m paying. And it’s crazy. But then, it’s what I always wanted. My own apartment, a car, and plenty of women. And still, goddammit, I’m lonely.

As I was reading through Act 1 of The Death of a Salesman, I couldn't stop thinking how Happy is so similar to Jay Gatsby. In this quote we can see that Happy has wealth, a good house, a good car, and women, but he is not satisfied with his life. Jay Gatsby is like that too, his dream was to be rich and eventually have Daisy. However, when he got all of them, he still doesn't feel satisfied with everything. He still doesn't feel happy with himself. Just like Jay Gatsby, although Happy earned a lot of money, an d have a good home, car and women, he feels lonely and hallow inside. 

Analysis Death of Salesman

HAPPY [moving about with energy, expressiveness]: All I can do now is wait for the merchandise manager to die. And suppose I get to be merchandise manager? He’s a good friend of mine, and he just built a terrific estate on Long Island. And he lived there about two months and sold it, and now he’s building another one. He can’t enjoy it once it’s finished. And I know that’s just what I’d do. I don’t know what the hell I’m workin’ for. Sometimes I sit in my apartment—all alone. And I think of the rent I’m paying. And it’s crazy. But then, it’s what I always wanted. My own apartment, a car, plenty of women, and still, goddamnit, I’m lonely." (Act 1)
Both stories share this same theme, the characters have so much already but keep on striving to get more. Happy has a lot of things, money, a job, women, but he still wants a better life, a better job. Gatsby also has a lot, he has money, parties, but he still wants more, he wants Daisy. 

Death of Salesman/G Gatsby

WILLY: Biff Loman is lost. In the greatest country in the world a young man with such — personal attractiveness, gets lost. And such a hard worker. There’s one thing about Biff — he’s not lazy.  (Act 1)

This relates to The Great Gatsby in two ways. America is the land of the great, dream land for prosperity and new future. Loman is similar to Gatsby, gets lost chasing Daisy.

Death of Salesman v.s. Gatsby Quote

"WILLY: Why did he come home? I would like to know what
brought him home.
LINDA: I don’t know. I think he’s still lost, Willy. I think he’s
very lost.
WILLY: Biff Loman is lost. In the greatest country in the world a
young man with such — personal attractiveness, gets lost. And
such a hard worker. There’s one thing about Biff — he’s not
lazy.
LINDA: Never.
WILLY (with pity and resolve): I’ll see him in the morning; I’ll
have a nice talk with him. I’ll get him a job selling. He could be
big in no time. My God! Remember how they used to follow
him around in high school? When he smiled at one of them
their faces lit up. When he walked down the street... (He loses
himself in reminiscences.)"

This quote suggests that the Willy thinks if a person works hard and is attractive, he will get rich. Like in The Great Gatsby, Gatsby's father believed that Gatsby was destined to be rich because of his hard-working and self-improving attitude. Plus Gatsby is also handsome. This shows that the characters all believed in the American dream. They all thought achieving one's goal (in this case, to be rich) requires only one's own effort; in other words, the concept of the self-made man. 

quote from the death of a salesman

"BIFF: Why? You’re making money, aren’t you?

HAPPY [moving about with energy, expressiveness]: All I can do now is wait for the merchandise manager to die. And suppose I get to be merchandise manager? He’s a good friend of mine, and he just built a terrific estate on Long Island. And he lived there about two months and sold it, and now he’s building another one. He can’t enjoy it once it’s finished. And I know that’s just what I’d do. I don’t know what the hell I’m workin’ for. Sometimes I sit in my apartment—all alone. And I think of the rent I’m paying. And it’s crazy. But then, it’s what I always wanted. My own apartment, a car, plenty of women, and still, goddamnit, I’m lonely." (Act 1)

Although Happy has accumulated a substantial amount of money and been surrounded by girl, it seems like it's not really what he wants. We can compare his situation to Gatsby's situation. Gatsby's rich in terms of the money and physical assets he had, however, he's missing a lot in terms of the spirit part, and the spirit part of his life, which would be being with daisy, is what he's after.

Death of a Salesman Analysis quote

WILLY: You and Hap and I, and I’ll show you all the towns.
America is full of beautiful towns and fine, upstanding people.
And  they  know  me,  boys,  they  know  me  up  and  down  New
England.  The finest people. And when I bring you fellas up, there’ll be open sesame for all of us, ‘cause one thing, boys: I
have friends. I can park my car in any street in New England,
and the cops protect it like their own. This summer, heh?
BIFF AND HAPPY (together): Yeah! You bet!


This quote aligns with The Great Gatsby because it talks about the American dream. Willy dreams of becoming successful alongside Biff and Happy, and associates his dream with America, hence "the American dream".

The Death of a Salesman

BIFF: There’s one or two other things depressing him, Happy. 

HAPPY: What do you mean? 

BIFF: Never mind. Just don’t lay it all to me. 

HAPPY: But I think if you just got started — I mean — is there any future for you out there? 

BIFF: I tell ya, Hap, I don’t know what the future is. I don’t know— what I’m supposed to want.

BIFF is just like Gatsby in "The Great Gatsby". Gatsby is lost and uncertain what to do after Daisy choose Tom over him. He insists to stay in the town and prays for would come back after he killed Myrtle. Just like BIFF, he can't get any job. He doesn't know what to do. No matter how hard he tried, he can never get a job. He is depressed. He doesn't what is the future anymore.

Act I Quote

Happy: "I don’t know what the hell I’m workin’ for. Sometimes I sit in my apartment — all alone. And I think of the rent I’m paying. And it’s crazy. But then, it’s what I always wanted. My own apartment, a car, and plenty of women. And still, goddammit, I’m lonely." (p.12?)

Thematically I think this quote relates to how in the Great Gatsby, all the characters had a dream, but they were never fully satisfied with what they had or achieved. Though what they've wanted might be simple or broad, once they've achieved it doesn't always mean they'll be satisfied and live happily ever after. For example, in the end of the Great Gatsby, Tom finally got rid of Jay and reunited with Daisy, but the last scene didn't seem very pleasant. All their dreams were different and decently wealthy, however, they still fell empty. Similar to Happy, he's got what he wanted but he's not content.

Death of a Salesman: Act One - quote by Tony

"I think I’ll go to see him. If I could get ten thousand or even seven or eight thousand dollars I could buy a beautiful ranch." -Biff

Biff is an uncertain man, he jumped from one job to the other after finishing highschool. His father Willy complains how Biff is unaccomplished and aimless. Biff has an idea in his life: since he is currently working in the farms and ranches out in the West, he thought what about owning one of those ranches? His past employer, Oliver, mentioned about helping him out when in need. So the idea is to ask Oliver for loans to give Biff a kickstart on his dream life. Just like The Great Gatsby, the theme of this play is American dreams. By taking a risk Biff is willing to obtain the dream life he had been sought of. Just like Jay Gatsby involving in the shady bootlegging business.

WILLY: How can he find himself on a farm? Is that a life? A farmhand? In the beginning, when he was young, I thought, well, a
young man, it’s good for him to tramp around, take a lot of different jobs. But it’s more than ten years now and he has yet to
make thirty-five dollars a week!
LINDA: He’s finding himself, Willy.
WILLY: Not finding yourself at the age of thirty-four is a disgrace!

In this quote, willy is looking down on Biff because he doesn't make as much money as Willy thinks he should. This happens in The Great Gatsby too, when the elite class in East Egg don't see the lower class people as equals

Death of a Salesman Act 1

"WILLY: Bigger than Uncle Charley! Because Charley is not —

liked. He’s liked, but he’s not — well liked.

..

WILLY: Bernard is not well liked, is he? BIFF: He’s liked, but he’s not well liked.

WILLY: That’s just what I mean. Bernard can get the best marks in school, y’understand, but when he gets out in the business world, y’understand, you are going to be five times ahead of him."

In the quotation, it shows how Willy keep on emphasizing how important it is to be 'well liked.' He thinks if your well liked, then you will be successful and pass this idea to his sons. This links to Great Gatsby of how in the upper class world, everyone is trying to get attention and be 'well liked'. For example Daisy spends most of her time trying to get attention and be popular. 

Death of a Salesman Quote

BIFF: Well, I spent six or seven years after high school trying to work myself up. Shipping clerk, salesman, business of one kind or another. And it’s a measly manner of existence. To get on 
that subway on the hot mornings in summer. To devote your whole life to keeping stock, or making phone calls, or selling or buying. To suffer fifty weeks of the year for the sake of a two week vacation, when all you really desire is to be outdoors, with your shirt off.

The reason that Biff done all those works is he want to be success just like what his dad did. Biff had try various of works and is very hardworking; Just like what The Great Gatsby had mentioned, people around that era want to gain money and fame. But even Biff had try so hard to be like his father, he didn't success.

Death of a Salesman Brandon Quotation

WILLY (with wonder): I was driving along, you understand? And I
was fine. I was even observing the scenery. You can imagine,
me looking at scenery, on the road every week of my life. But
it’s so beautiful up there, Linda, the trees are so thick, and the
sun is warm. I opened the windshield and just let the warm air
bathe over me. And then all of a sudden I’m goin’ off the road!
I’m tellin’ya, I absolutely forgot I was driving. If I’d’ve gone
the other way over the white line I might’ve killed somebody.
So I went on again — and five minutes later I’m dreamin’
again, and I nearly... (He presses two fingers against his eyes.) I
have such thoughts, I have such strange thoughts.



This quotation shows the different way of enjoying life than the people in Great Gatsby. People in The Great Gatsby enjoy their life by lavish parties and luxurious lifestyles, whereas right here, Willy is enjoying the simple scenery, the fundamental aspects people don't ever notice as people take it for granted. The awestruck scenery is breath taking as he suddenly realizes the scene he normally passes every day, is absolutely beautiful. Both the stories have things the characters live their life for, and they are different aspects of life, one being the natural beauty in this world and one being the materialistic aspect of life.

Death of Salesman quote

"WILLY: How can he find himself on a farm? Is that a life? A farmhand? In the beginning, when
he was young, I thought, well, a young man, it’s good for him to tramp around, take a lot of different jobs. But it’s more than ten years now and he has yet to make thirty-five dollars a week! "

This quote reflected the "American dream" in the 1920s: earning lots of money. The Great Gatsby also mentioned about how people in that era tried urgently to earn money and fame. I think in this quote, Willy is like Tom in the degree that disgracing people who don't have any physucal accomplishments in their life.

Death of Salesman: Willy versus Gatsby

WILLY: No, I see everything. I came back ten miles an hour. It took me nearly four hours from Yonkers.
LINDA (resigned): Well, you’ll just have to take a rest, Willy, you can’t continue this way.
WILLY: I just got back from Florida.
LINDA: But you didn’t rest your mind. Your mind is overactive,
and the mind is what counts, dear.
WILLY: I’ll start out in the morning. Maybe I’ll feel better in the
morning. (She is taking off his shoes.) These goddam arch sup-
ports are killing me.



By looking at this conversation, we know that even though Willy is old, he still remains his ambition of making as much money as he can to support his family. This scenario is similar to "The Great Gatsby," in which Gatsby also has ambition to reach perfection; however, Willy and Gatsby are focusing on different accomplishments. Willy has been trying to acquire affluence not only because he wants to support his family but also because he wants to be a role model of his children; on the other hand, even though Gatsby was poor when he was young, he eventually becomes rich by dealing with illegal business, and Gatsby has been trying to get Daisy, which becomes his motivation of being rich. In conclusion, Willy is trying to reach financial perfection, while Gatsby is trying to reach sexual perfection. 

Death of a Salesman Quote

WILLY: Figure it out. Work a lifetime to pay off a house. You
finally own it, and there’s nobody to live in it.
LINDA: Well, dear, life is a casting off. It’s always that way. 
WILLY: No, no, some people- some people accomplish something. (7)


In this quote, Author Miller is trying to convey a sense of  anxiety. It states that they spent a whole life for buying a house. For this reason, we can tell that it's relatively difficult for middle class people to buy houses. This quote also imply he live in a  society that emphasizes the hollow values of material success. On the other hand, characters in the Great Gatsby are high class or mid-high class peoples. Thus, they are used to lavish life styles that held party even week. Besides, its just a piece of cake for them to buy a house. However, Fitzgerald is also trying to emphasize that moral decay in the New York City.

Death of a Salesman: Arthur Miller

LINDA: Willy, dear. Talk to them again. There’s no reason why
you can’t work in New York.
WILLY: They don’t need me in New York. I’m the New England
man. I’m vital in New England



In this conversation, it can relate to how Nick Carraway will eventually feel. Both Willy and Nick feels alienated from the people of New York and feels that his presence is not appreciated or noticed. Both stories give off a feeling that New Yorkers tend to be unwelcoming towards foreigners and that they feel especially connected to their own unique type of people.

CH 7 Quote

"Your wife doesn't love you," said Gatsby. "She's never loved you. She loves me."

This quote signifies the end of Tom's dream with Daisy as his wife and Myrtle as his mistress. Daisy truly loves Gatsby instead of Tom, she has been having an affair with Gatsby and can't control her emotions for Gatsby even when Tom is nearby. So the character of Tom with Daisy is dead, and the inevitable change when Daisy leaves him is soon to come.

Brandon Dream Dies Quote

" She only married you because I was poor and she was tired of waiting for me. It was a terrible mistake, but in her heart, she never loved anyone except me! " (100)

 This quote Gatsby is confronting Tom on why he thinks Daisy is with him. He tells him what he thinks as Tom was stubborn about making Gatsby tell him what his wife had to say. This relates to how a dream dies as when someone confronts you about something you believe for a long time to be not true, the dream crumbles like a dried up leaf, sucking out all the life in it. What Tom has believed for a long time seemed untrue, his lovely wife, whom he has married for a long time, has secrets he did not know, until now.

Ch.7 Quote

“She never loved you, do you hear?” he cried. “She only married you because I was poor and she was tired of waiting for me. It was a terrible mistake, but in her heart she never loved any one except me!”

Tom Buchanan lost his faith while Jay Gatsby told him that Daisy never loved him but his affluence. Tom was always confident and proud before he knew that Daisy had been in a relationship with Jay but later broke up because Jay was poor. Tom was also shocked because as a racist, he can't believe that Daisy will fall in love with a colored man.

Chapter 7 Dying Dream Quote

"Our eyes lifted over the rosebeds and the hot lawn and the weedy refuse of the dog days along shore. Slowly the white  wings of the boat moved against the blue cool limit of the sky." (125)

Nick Carraway describes a downhearted setting about how time move on and people grow older. Dreams are forever soaring 

Ch.7 Dying Dream Quote

"Tom drove slowly until we were beyond the bend - then his foot came down hard, and the coupe raced along through the night. In a little while I heard a low husky sob, and saw that the tears were overflowing down his face.
'The God damned coward!' he whimpered. 'He didn't even stop his car'" (108).

Earlier in the chapter Tom learned that George Wilson had discovered his affair with Myrtle and was going to take her away. Now he found that she was killed by a car accident. Tom's dream of being with Myrtle faded when he knew she was leaving, but was crushed completely when she died.

ch.7 quote

"Your wife doesn't love you," said Gatsby. "She's never loved you. She loves me."

This quote indicates to the end of Tom's dream. Jay Gatsby basically claims that Daisy does not love Tom and is only having a relationship with Tom because of his wealth. He uses never which is a pretty extreme word to emphasize how Tom is currently facing a situation that has extremes. He originally thought that Daisy loves him and even is one of his properties. But then it turns out that Daisy does not even love him and is only together with him due to his wealth. 

ch7 quote

"I'm just going to wait here and see if he tries to bother her about that unpleasantness
this afternoon. She's locked herself into her room and if he tries any
brutality she's going to turn the light out and on again."

"He won't touch her," I said. "He's not thinking about her."

"I don't trust him, old sport."

"How long are you going to wait?"

"All night if necessary. Anyhow till they all go to bed."
....
So I walked away and left him standing there in the
moonlight--watching over nothing 


This quote shows Gatsby's dream of getting together with Daisy is dying. He is going to wait there all night to see if Tom is doing anything to Daisy but he is watching over nothing. Tom and Daisy is getting back together therefore there is no need for Gatsby to wait there because Daisy is not going to send the signal.  

The Great Gatsby Ch.7 Quote

"Daisy and Tom were sitting opposite each other at the kitchen table, with a plate of cold fried chicken between them, and two bottles of ale. He was talking intently across the table at her, and in his earnestness his hand had fallen upon and covered her own. Once in a while she looked up at him and nodded in agreement."

Through this quote it shows Gatsby's dream, getting back together with Daisy, dying. The quote shows how Tom and Daisy reconciled and though Gatsby and Daisy have a chance of getting back together, it died when Tom and Daisy got back together after the car accident.

Chapter 7 Great Gatsby dead dream

“I’m sick,” said Wilson without moving. “Been sick all day.”

“What’s the matter?”

“I’m all run down.”

...

“What do you want money for, all of a sudden?”

“I’ve been here too long. I want to get away. My wife and I want to go West.”

“Your wife does,” exclaimed Tom, startled.

“She’s been talking about it for ten years.” He rested for a moment against the pump, shading his eyes. “And now she’s going whether she wants to or not. I’m going to get her away.”

...

“I just got wised up to something funny the last two days,” remarked Wilson. “That’s why I want to get away. That’s why I been bothering you about the car.”

--

This shows Wilson's dream dying. He was never aware that his wife had a separate life without him. His dream of living in America with his wife died when he realized that she wasn't who he thought she was. 

collapse of dream chapter 7

""Your wife doesn't love you," said Gatsby. "She's never loved you. She loves me."
"You must be crazy!" exclaimed Tom automatically.
Gatsby sprang to his feet, vivid with excitement.
"She never loved you, do you hear?" he cried. "She only married you because I was poor and she was tired of waiting for me. It was a terrible mistake, but in her heart she never loved any one except me!"
At this point Jordan and I tried to go, but Tom and Gatsby insisted with competitive firmness that we remain-as though neither of them had anything to conceal and it would be a privilege to partake vicariously of their emotions" (ch 7, ebook)

This quote illustrates the collapse of Tom's dream, or his belief at least, of having a wife that actually loved him and only him. We can see this collapse directly when Gatsby claimed that Daisy never loved him and the tension in the air is getting intense. I would say this is a climax in this story. The later part of the story after this quote showed that despite Daisy did love Gatsby, she couldn't say that she's never been in love with Tom.
In addition, Tom saw this as crazy as intermarriage between white and black, which means he thought this was crazy and unacceptable.

ch.7 quote

"Gatsby and I in turn leaned down and took the small reluctant hand. Afterward he kept looking at the child with surprise. I don’t think he had ever really believed in its existence before." (124)

Gatsby's dream was getting back with Daisy. But when he met Daisy's daughter, he was stunned. His dream died becasue the existence of Daisy's daughter destroyed his hope of getting Daisy back.

Dream of Death - GG chpt 7 quote

"'We're getting old,' said Daisy. "If we were young we'd rise and dance." "Remember Biloxi," Jordan warned her..."(98)

When an exciting song comes up from the music mix, Daisy suggests that the gang is getting old because they would've start dancing to this song earlier. Getting old eventually leads to the end.
They were talking about Biloxi passing out during Daisy and Tom's wedding from the heat, and stroke usually lead to death.

Dream of A Character Dying

"It passed, and he began to talk excitedly to Daisy, deny- ing everything, defending his name against accusations that had not been made. But with every word she was drawing further and further into herself, so he gave that up and only the dead dream fought on as the afternoon slipped away, trying to touch what was no longer tangible, struggling un- happily, undespairingly, toward that lost voice across the room." 

By examining this quotation, we can see how Gatsby loses his dream or desire of reaching his perfection. Daisy Buchanan, is considered as something unattainable in Gatsby's life. In this chapter, Gatsby and Daisy finally reunite and publicize their affairs. Even though Gatsby finally gets what he has been wanting, simultaneously, he also loses his desire of reaching perfection in his life. 

Ch7 Quote

"They weren’t happy, and neither of them had touched the chicken or the ale - and yet they weren’t happy either. There was an unmistakable air of natural intimacy about the picture, and anybody would have said that they were conspiring each other."

Although Gatsby and daisy finally have chances to meet each other, they were not as sincere as before. Tom was suspicious of their relationships, and he did find out eventually. Although Gatsby and daisy do love each other, they are not getting back together since the author proofs that his dream is dead by depicting the scene where Tom and Daisy living comfortable in the house and Gatsby waited nervously outside.

Death Quote

"What'll we do with ourselves this afternoon?" cried Daisy, "and the day after that, and the next thirty years?"
"Don't be so morbid," Jordan said, "Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall."

This conversation is related to the death of the character due to the fact that it mentions the process of aging and thus leading to death. Even Jordan mentions the word "morbid" which implies death in which Daisy is afraid of. Daisy is afraid of an unfulfilled life when she dies, one that is not so satisfying. Therefore it is easily seen that this conversation does represent some sort of death.

Alex's Quote

'From the ballroom beneath, muffled and suffocating chords were drifting up on hot waves of air. “Not that day I carried you down from the Punch Bowl to keep your shoes dry?” There was a husky tenderness in his tone.. .. “Daisy?”'

Jay Gatsby's dream is to be with Daisy, but now Gatsby's dream is fading. Gatsby's dream of being together with Daisy is dying. Daisy rejected Jay Gatsby in front of everyone. When Jay asked Daisy if she ever loved him, she said no. Jay is now disappointed and sad.
