Abstract
This work examines parental responsibility and conflict in Arthur Miller's Death or a Salesman. It proceeds to analyze attitudes that Willy, the protagonist of the play nurtures with children and the impact during their life existence. The discovery of parental irresponsibility by Biff created conflict between Willy and Biff, and within
Willy himself. This study is written using a sociological approach. This discipline arises from the basic premise that nobody lives a completed isolated existence. Each of us is a product of biological, intellectual, emotional and spiritual influences. As society determines one's existence, so we, too, affect society, by adding to it positively or negatively. This work concludes that, success or failure of children depend highly on the upbringing they get from parents who shape their education, society and the environment in which they grow up in.
