Tucker v. Loman: One Night Only on INDemand PPV! (Post 20)

The contrast between Willy Loman and Cora Tucker is a case of delusional concept versus active participation and action. Willy Loman has a dream. He wants to be a great salesman. His belief is that in order to do this, all he really must be is well liked. If nothing else, as long as he is well liked, he will be a successful salesman. Unfortunately, this is inherently wrong in that without effort and a clear view of reality, it doesn't matter how much people like you. Had Willy been more conscious of his reality, then he would've seen that what he was doing in order to increase sales was not working, and that he maybe needed to revise his strategy. Cora Tucker is Willy Loman ^ -1. Cora saw a problem and did what she needed to fix it, or at least bring light to it in order to incite a movement that would resolve the issue. She had a much clearer view of reality, and was more open to different approaches to solve an issue. The main problem here, is that Willy was convinced that there was only one way to skin a cat, and the adage says otherwise.
