Linda is the one who will never leave the house because she finished paying and she just couldn't see her husband leave like he did did. Linda can't accept his death until she has the chance to say goodbye once and for all. “I never got a chance to say goodbye” (Miller 1173). They didn't listen to the false illusions of others because Willy was a successful man, and when he left, someone had to take over from then on, they just didn't know who it would be.
