adultery

The whole adultery scene is confusing to me. It seems as if it is just symbolic. The woman represents Willy's discontent in life. Willy is always concerned about being "well liked". This woman seems like a means to attain that specific end. His wife loves him even when he rebukes her and causes her to worry constantly about his delusional state. However, this lady regards herself as a means for Willy to get to the buyers more efficiently. This desire to be "well liked" is a coping tragedy for all the abandonment he has dealt with from his father and brother. In the end, it ends up making his son Biff abandon him as well.
