Character I Most Relate To

      In the play Death of a Salesman written by Arthur Miller, there are  wide variety of traits presented through the characters. There is the main character Willy, who is living in a fantasy world, too hung up on his failures and disappointments in life to think about the joys in life. Happy is the son who is always willing to please others, and not wanting to stay under his brother's shadow. Willy's wife, Linda, is living in a state of denial and pretending that everything is all right, when in actuality she is probably the most realistic of all the characters, and just does not want to admit to herself what is going on. Finally, there is Biff, who does not quite yet know what he wants to do with his life, but is afraid of wasting it away.
      If I had to pick one character that I relate the most to, I would pick Biff. Biff has reached an age in his life when people generally know what they want to do with the rest of their lives. However, he still has no idea what he wants in life, and what he is going to do about it. Although, I am not at a stage in my life where I am supposed to or have to know what I want to become, or what I want to do with the rest of my life life, I am similar to Biff in that I'm still uncertain of the future. Many people my age have some sort of idea of what they want to become, and although I do not know at all what I want to be, I believe that I will know what to do when I have to. Just how Biff realizes in the end that what he had been trying to get out of life was not the right thing for him, I think soon I will know what I want to do with my life as well.
