typicalsupportive wife , saying things like: dont you feel well...you look terrible...I got anew type of American cheese today-its whipped and, take aspirin, it will makeyou feel better. She is reserved, staying in her place, and never questioning outloud Willys objectives. Linda lacks the strength to stand up to her husband, shecant even look him in the face. Aware of his attempted suicides, she would notconfront Willy about it, but took it upon herself to remove the rubber pipe that heplaced on the gas pipe, only to replace it before he returned home. She issympathetic, but refers to Willy as a small man, although she states but he is ahuman being and a terrible thing is happening to him, so attention must be paid! After his death Linda states Willy dear, I cant cry, why did you do it? Linda hasnever been able to understand Willy, he will forever remain a mystery to her. Through Lindas extreme support, her husbands downfall resulted. Lindawas aware of this, yet she did not say nor do anything to help him. She plays asignificant role in the downfall of her husband. Her attempts to help him are notonly a destructive force, and eventually lead to his death. These examples provethat Lindas excessive support is a destructive force in Willy Lomans life....
