“I know who I am” Biff Loman
In this scene we can see that Biff expresses his emotion towards the type of lifestyle he has been living. Biff has finally realized that he has been living a deceptive life which was instigated by his father Willy Loman. We see that Biff rises above the low level he has been living by accepting the truth and reality of his situation. This is seen where he wants to leave his household so he can start living a renewed life of actual success. In order to move freely with his new he tries to get consent from his father, so Willy can let him go freely to live his own life.
Willy had made him believe in the American dream for too long and had to be released from this bondage. Biff states “I know who I am”, this statement is significant to show that he was covered in a wrong identity but has found out who he really is. He realizes he is not a thief, a liar and can accomplish better jobs since he has now found his true identity.
As it relates to the book and the video there were similarities and differences that were highlighted. In the novel it is easy for one to read and make clear analyzations of the events occurring, however, when seeing the visual imagery of the scene. It causes one to see the actual emotions and expressions of the characters which give a clearer meaning that the author tries to convey.
