"GOLDEN LINE" Death Of A Salesman (Act 1)

"The man knew what he wanted and went out and got it! Walked into a jungle and comes out, the age of twenty-one, and he's rich!The world is an oyster, but you don't crack it open on a mattress!""    Act I
I chose that quote to be my golden line because it is repeated so many times. Willy is the one who use the line first, but Ben repeats it lots of time throughout the play. First, it clearly shows that Ben is always appear in Willy's head, Ben is only the figment of Willy's imagination. Willy has always want to be success, to be rich. He's a talented carpenter but he believes salesman make most money. He wants his sons to become salesman just like him. But things don't go his way. Willy said that the world is like an oyster, there's a lot of opportunities, as an oyster contains a pearl. But it's hard to get it, we can't accomplish anything by sleeping, being lazy.
