it killed him. Willy wanted so much for his family to have the American dream of wealth and success that he killed himself for money. I think that the climax of the play is the funeral. When you realize what Willy has done and that his family is not sad. I think that the two scenes I have discussed are the most influential in the play, the scene about the woman and the scene when he loses his job. His sons respect and providing for a family are two things made Willy feel important and useful, and these two things were taken from him in these scenes. In the end these very two things lead to his suicide. There were many other factors, but I believe that these were the most influential. Willy did not have much, he did not have money, he did not own a house, and he did not have a respectable job, but at least he had the feeling that he was respected by his sons and needed by his family but that too was taken from him. When he lost respect and his feeling of usefulness he lost his will to live....
