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.
