Requiem
Linda
is saddened that no one has come to Willy’s funeral, none of the people from
New England that Willy had hoped would come.
Charley tries to tell her that nobody blames Willy and that it was a nice
funeral. Biff says that Willy just
had all the wrong dreams, but Charley says that a salesman has to dream to
survive. Biff asks Happy to come
with him, but Happy is stuck with Willy’s old dream to have the Loman family
be successful in sales. Biff says
that he knows who he is and that he cannot live any longer in Willy’s dreams.
Linda walks over to the gravesite and tells Willy that she has just made
the last payment on the house, but now there is no one there to live in it.
She breaks down and Biff helps her up.
The whole family, including Bernard and Charley, walk offstage.
