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.
