Death of a Salesman 2

In this section of the novel, we meet a character named Charley. Charley is Willy’s next-door neighbor. We also learned that he has a son named Bernard. Willy always makes fun of Bernard because he is good at school. Willy claims that his two athletic and popular sons, Happy and Biff, will be more successful in life than Bernard will be.

After meeting Charley for a somewhat brief moment in the section, he and Willy do not get along too well. They get together to play cards and hang out, but they have a sort of “love/hate” relationship. They are friends, yet they still bicker at one another. They are similar to the two characters on the movie Grumpy Old Men. They fight over card games, yet at the end of the day, they are still friends.
