These are a series of monologues based off of characters from the well known play “Death of a Salesmen”, because i did not know my group I did all 4 characters for this specific assignment.

Linda:

“I am a wife, a mother, and a caregiver for all three of the men in my home. Although all I want is to protect them I struggle to do so at all,I almost feel like I’m doing the opposite, I am stuck. I’m scared and lost, I feel like day in and day out I lose each and everyone of them a little bit more. Not to mention after I found out Willy was hurting himself I questioned whether I could do something to stop it or not. Or I wonder how I could raise boys who treat women the way they do. All I feel is stuck, and separated, I wish my they would all just wake up from their closed lives and realize I’m here too.”

Willy:

“I put blood, sweat and tears into this family, and my boys, but what am I met with? Constant disrespect and disapproval. All I want is for my boys to be successful and to realize their old man isn’t a nobody, I want them to look up to me like I looked up to my father, and I want Linda to stop worrying so much, she’s going to drive herself mad, biff thinks I’m being to harsh but he doesn’t even realize I just want to see him safe and set for life. Not to mention happy, he’s just in his own bubble, everyone in this family is, they shut me out like I’m some sort of outcast. One of these days they’re going to realize I’m more important than they think.”

Biff:

“Honestly, everyone in this family is just crazy, I really feel like I can only talk to happy, well at least he’s the only one that understands me, but even he is crazy, he judges dad when the episodes dad has are not even his fault. Mom does to a certain extent but not like I want her too. She only cares about dad and what dad wants, or about how I’m going to affect dad, or get dad upset. Why won’t she think about what dads doing to me? They don’t realize maybe I’m not going to be a crazy hot shot, im just biff, that’s all, and that’s all I’ll ever be.”

Happy:

“Sometimes I try to sit back and look at my family and see where we went wrong? Was is me, was it biff, was it dad or mom? I’ve been at a loss forever, and I think it’s because of all of us together, like one big unit. We’ve all got issues, dads going insane and as much as I feel bad for dad I can’t go out in public with him, that’s my image he’s ruining! Mom is too passive, she would do anything for dad, and don’t get me started on biff, he couldn’t keep a job if he wanted too, he’s out of control just like the rest of this family.”
