'Death of a Salesman' - Act 2 Scene 13 - the confrontation scene (pt 1/3)

In this dramatisation of the climax of Arthur Miller's play 'Death of a Salesman', Biff confronts his father with the truth about his life. Biff sees through the falseness of Willy's existence and calls him a liar and a fake. Willy has given him no foundation other than illusions on which to build his life. When he tries to tell Willy about the failures in his life, Willy ignores him. This scene exemplifies how the Loman family is built on false values that distort the American dream and lead to an existence that is dysfunctional.
