Willy's final action

I think for the most part that Willy chose the easy way out. I think Willy was a weak man and couldn't see himself for what he really was. He had to always embellish his stories and make himself out to be a great successful man but instead of trying to be he lied so much that he actually thought he was. Willy killed himself so his family could have money and so that Biff could carry on with his life and make something of it.  Willy never tried to fix the problems he had he just lied to get out of them. In general Willy was a weak man who was lazy and envied everyone else around him who had money.  Willy's final action was no "Death of a Salesman". He didn't go out with a big boom or make much of himself. He left behind a broken hearted family with two kids who saw him for what he was and a more then depressed wife. Willy was so washed up in his own fantasy of being rich and successful that he never really understood how to be a good husband or father or even a good salesman.
