Holding onto false dreams can lead an individual to live in an illusory world, where the perception of reality is greatly hindered. These false dreams, in fact, can also hurt and negatively influence the beliefs of other individuals. In Arthur Miller's play, Death of a Salesman, the character of Willy Loman clings to the incorrect values ​​of the American dream, consequently causing his inevitable failure and, in most cases, negatively affecting those close to him . Willy Loman was a salesman whose deluded thoughts led him to believe that he was "well liked" by everyone and that he was a successful salesman. His false dreams and distorted sense of reality led him to believe that following his true passion, carpentry, was not a conventional lifestyle. Willy's true passion for carpentry and not sales can be highlighted in the quote, "There's more Willy on that porch than in all the sales I ever made" (Miller, 22). Willy constructed his fantasy primarily as a means to deal with his personal failures, because he had “wrong dreams.” Everything, everything wrong” (Miller?). In his deluded state, Willy lied to his family, regularly lying about his success at work. Willy was unable to let go of his false dreams, taking them to the grave. Ultimately, for Willy, living to fulfill a dream, which was not his, led to the unhappiness of both him and his family, and in time, ultimately, his death. Willy's false dreams and illusions tormented the entire Loma family, especially his two sons, Biff and Happy, who suffered greatly because of them. Willy was a deluded idealist who at an early age taught his two sons to believe that “…the man who makes his appearance in the world of business, the man who creates personal interest, is the man who…paper medium. ..of his own person and individuality. Linda was forced to live a lie, which caused her great pressure, because she knew that if Willy abandoned his false dreams, he would commit suicide. Linda was willing to do anything to stop Willy from committing suicide, even if it meant getting emotionally hurt along the way. Ultimately, Willy's delusions deprived her of her husband and left her a widow to care for her two children. Willy's fabricated dreams have negatively affected both him and his family. The lives of both Biff and Happy were ruined and once he realized the error of his dreams, he too was ruined. Meanwhile, Linda was in great emotional pain. To thrive in life, according to Miller's point of view in the play, and become an ideal person, an individual must let go of all false dreams and see beyond the facade; because only hard work will lead to success.
