Answer:

Willy was an unstable, insecure person who dreamed of becoming a successful man one day but could not be.

Explanation:

Death of A Salesman is a play penned by Arthur Miller. The play is about the dream of the protagonist of the play, Willy Loman.

Willy Loman is a 63-year-old man who dreams to be successful one day. But he is an unstable and insecure person. But the problem with his dream was that he thought that he could become a big and successful man by being a salesman first. He dreamed of being respected and honored by the people around him. He thought that respect and honor could be earned only by becoming a rich person.

Willy was searching for that one wrong turn that he took in his life which is stopping him to achieve his dream. He was also searching for a re-do button as he is always looking back to the past and hoping to regain his youth.

He could not find what he was searching for because it was impossible. Going back in the past to undo one's mistake or gain back young life are some of an impossible phenomenon of life.

No, Willy could not have what he dreamed of. He never had a chance of having it because of his unrealistic way of approaching his dreams. The harsh reality of Willy's not having been fulfilled he dreamed that he did not have what it takes to be a successful man.

No, Willy did not have a wrong dream as everyone dreams of becoming successful and rich. But the approach to his dreams were wrong. Because instead of looking at the present he was looking in the past which can never bear fruits.

Yes, Willy had inappropriate attitude of constantly looking back and hoping his youth to return. To be a successful man one should never look back to the past mistakes but should learn from it and move forward with a new approach.

No, no one is born a loser. It is the way they approach or the goals they set. Even after setting goals, it is important to work on them and if mistakes happen, learn from them, revise the goals and move forward which was lacking in Willy. This attitude is what made Willy a loser.

Willy, in his own point of view, was standing on his way to success. But from the reader's point of view, he was not.

In this poem, what is the significance of the poet’s comparison of love to "childhood’s faith"?
Rama09 [41]
Well, you can analyze the poem any way you want, poetry is open to everyone's interpretation. I believe that when the poet, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, compares love to "childhood's faith," she wants to show the innocence of that love. Children have blind faith in their parents, friends, etc. and can be quite naive, the way her love is as well. However, she can also be talking about the power of her love, because a child's faith is unbreakable - it is so strong, just as much as her love. Hope this helps!
