The effects of Willys death are encompassed within this group of people only. ... ’ It is sad to hear this from Biff when we remember that Willy indeed put all his dreams into Biff. ... He dies as a father, not as a salesman. ...

Biff is the only character to come out of the experience with enhanced knowledge and progress for the better.
