"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.
