Bernard, was it my fault? Y’see? It keeps going around in my mind, maybe I did something to him. I got nothing to give him.
– Arthur Miller
Death of a Salesman, Act 2. Willy appears to have a moment of insight into his own part for son Biff’s failures. While Willy is looking for Bernard to absolve him of blame, he realizes on some level that he is to blame because he was a bad father.
