Happiness is what every individual strives for within their lives. Every motivation and objective one has is for the purpose to attain happiness and without happiness involved there is not a self satisfaction for one to achieve. Without happiness, one lacks the main reason to pursue a certain goal in the future. However, to attain happiness one may need to conquer and face challenges along the way in order to achieve it. The play written by Arthur Miller titled, Death Of A Salesman, exemplifies different scenarios and ways in which certain characters achieve happiness in their lives while others struggle to gain it and fail to attain it, specifically characters such as Willy, Linda and Happy. Willy fails to achieve happiness due to the contradictions he constantly creates for himself and others, his unfair relationship with his sons as he always compares Biff and Happy to one another, and his resentful relationship with his brother, Ben.

Through out the play Willy constantly contradicts himself; one example is from the beginning of the play when he yells, “Biff is a lazy bum!” (5) and then he says later on, "There's one thing about Biff - he's not lazy.” (6). Another example of Willy’s contradictions is when he talks about his Chevrolet, “Chevrolet, Linda, is the greatest car ever built” (20). He then complains about it later on when he says, “That goddam Chevrolet, they ought to prohibit the manufacture of that car!” (23). Willy regularly contradicts his own thoughts, words and opinions without the realization of doing so. This helps him escape the truth about the success in his career which eliminates happiness from his l
