Cora Tucker and Willy Loman are complete opposites. They have the same idea of being successful, but the way they approach and accept it are totally different. Cora is a hardworking lady that works to benefit other people that won’t stand up for themselves. She is successful in a different way than Willy. Willy is just working to help himself and his kids when all he is doing is living a lie and putting pressure on his kids. Cora succeeds because she is selfless and works to better the lives of others while benefiting from it. Willy goes wrong because he only thinks about himself and his family and not how others succeed. He believes that because he made money for his family, that his sons will be even more successful than him, not to mention more successful than every other kid in the area. Willy has unrealistic dreams because of his position while Cora has dreams that can be achieved that not only benefit herself.
