From all the characters in the book, The Death of a Salesman, I can identify myself the most with Happy Loman. Happy Loman is the optimistic face of the Loman family. No matter what happens, he can always relate something good to it. For example, when his father was depressed, and the whole family was mad at each other, Happy was there to help and try to make things better. That sounds like something I would do.
I see the confidence that Happy has, and relate it to my own. No matter what we do, we try to succeed. I can also relate how Happy has an older sibling to live up to, the way I do. We are both the younger sibling in the family, but that does not stop us from trying our best to get far in life. Lastly, we both try to satisfy everyone around us, but get so lost doing so, we forget about ourselves. I think Happy and I share that same characteristic. There are many characteristics that relate Happy Loman to myself.
