Cora Tucker vs. Willy Loman

Cora Tucker has traits that Willy Loman needs to acquire. When you look at Willy, you see how he collapses and can not go on when he is not “well liked” by clients any more. He loses hope and feels he can’t succeed any more. Cora does not do this and this is where she succeeds and Willy fails. Cora does not care what the people think about her and she pushes forward to accomplish her goals. She gains her reputation and “well likeness” from accomplishing the tasks she is after. Her successes gain that respect from both her fans and her enemies. They respect her for her knowledge of political issues. Cora Tucker is an example of the American Dream. Her success from being a poor, black woman to a major factor in politics shows that it is possible to achieve your goals no matter your status. Willy should take notes on how Cora lives her life.
