Death of a Salesman (Middle)

Death of a Salesman (Middle)

After the characters go to sleep in the end of act I the next act begins with Willy waking up and feeling excited about the idea of working in Florida. Biff and Bill have already left and Linda and Willy are the only two in the house. They have a conversation about getting a garden for the yard before Willy heads out to go to another day of work. Today Willy is going to ask his boss if he can have a non-traveling job because it is causing to many problems for him and his family. As Willy is driving to work he is excited that his son's invited him to dinner before he arrives at work he enters his boss's office nervously and asks for a non traveling job and a raise. His boss disrespectfully declines his wish and treats him like a kid, even though Willy has been with the company longer and even helped his boss's father name him. Willy's last hope of earning a raise and better job position is fading and he decides to tell a story on why he thinks selling is the greatest job for him. His boss leaves the room and Willy began screaming and having a fit in the room. Willy's boss fires Willy and says he can no longer work for the company and know Willy must rely and live off his son's money and Willy is frightened by this and does not want to accept his loss and begins to find a way to fix the situation. I don't know why Willy had to handle his situation so unprofessionally and have a fit like a child when his boss was ignoring him. I Understand it was rude of his boss to disrespect him but when you have priorities to take care of and things to pay for, yelling at the man who pays you is not a smart thing to do, under any situation. I hope Willy is able to regain his composure and get his job back, but I do not see that happening in the future of this story. What would you do if you were in Willy's shoes?
