Willy's Final Action

Willy's final action of the play was killing himself so his family could collect his insurance money. The insurance money would help both pay of debts on the house and then the rest of the money was supposed to go to Biff to use to be successful. Nobody wanted Willy to kill himself, but everyone new he was trying to. When Willy finally succeeded in killing himself he thought of his action as a noble one for his family. That is what Willy cared about the most was always having integrity and being noble. This action did not turn out to be a noble one because more than anything his family missed him. When Willy died the family paid off their debts, but the debts were so low that they could have paid them off soon if Willy didn't even die. All Willy's death did was cause everyone in the family to grief. Nobody cared about the money, Will was more important than money. Biff ended up moving away so he didn't even take the money, which was a big part of why Willy killed himself. Due to all of these reasons Willy's action was not a very noble one because he was missed more than anything and the money didnt help what it was meant to help with.
