Willy Loman thinks that everyone can be successful because he was successful. He believed that his kids had more opportunity than others because he was so influential in the New England area. Willy Loman thought that some people had more opportunity than others, which is why he believed that his sons would be so successful and that Bernard wouldn’t be. There is one part in the book where Bif is throwing a football around and Bernard comes into the room and says that Bif is going to fail because he is not studying. Willy goes on to say that Bernard is never going to accomplish anything because he is not as successful as Bif. In the end, Bernard is very successful in his career and Bif doesn’t even have a steady job.
Arthur Miller thinks that individual opportunity comes from hard work. He shows this by making Bernard successful because he was always working hard and studying when Bif was showing off and not working.
