CRAZY

Willy openly discusses his plan to commit suicide. Willy thinks it's his only way out. He will make amends to Linda for betraying her by leaving her financially stable. He cannot admit his unfaithfulnessm so leaving her with money is his way to alleviate the guilt. He also feels that Biff will respect him for sacrificing his life. Willy is entirely insane.
It was the scene that began in a hotel room when Biff learns of his father's affair that led to the entire mood and explanation of the current situation. It was during this scene when Biff loses all respect for Willy. He no longer felt motivated to attend summer school or graduate; since he would have only done that to please his father. Now that Biff realizes that his father is not perfect, in fact, a traitor, he is incapable of achieving success because he no longer has faith in his father of himself.
