The two main relationships that have notable differences are Willy and his son, Biff, and Charley and his son, Bernard. Willy and Biff's relationship has been bad ever since Biff found out that Willy was having an affair, but Willy has always tried to stay involved in every aspect of Biff's life. After Biff talked to Bill Oliver about lending money, he went to dinner with his brother and father. Willy quickly asked, “Well, what happened, boy? (Nodding affirmatively, with a smile.) Did everything go well? (Miller 1249). Being active in his son's life is a top priority for Willy. He made sure he knew what happened in their lives to make sure they were successful. On another note, the relationship between Charley and Bernard can be viewed very differently. It is shown when Charley says, “My salvation is that I have never cared for anything” (1244). Charley himself said that he was not interested in anything, especially Bernard's life. He was not involved in his son's life, while Willy showed great interest and involvement with his children. These two relationships alone show that relationships between parents and children vary greatly depending on the person and commitment to them
