Happy Loman represents the child that had the bad fortune
of being less athletic than his brother. As a result, his father's affection was
focused only on his older brother Biff, and he was regulated to the background. As a
result, his whole life has been an attempt to gain attention. From the recurring
assertion "I've lost weight!" to his philandering ways, Happy continually seeks
validation and the interest from other
people.
Unfortunately, he has also adopted some of
his family member's bad judgment. Like his father, he tends to exaggerate his and his
family's worth, and like his brother, he will lie to avoid troubling conversations or
situations. Like his mother, he tends to enable the traits of his father and brother,
rather than seek to help them.
Happy's childhood crippled
his ability to honestly seek and hold relationships and to tell the truth about himself
and his family members.
