Sociological studies of American families speak of a common expectation among parents that their children will "do better" than they have. Indeed, parents are dedicated to the idea that parents whose children do not live wealthier and more accomplished lives have somehow failed. The Lomans certainly appear to believe this, and they live in an era when it is still possible for children to surpass the achievements of their parents, as proven by Charley and Bernard. Such an idea puts increasing pressure on each generation as the celing of opportunity draws closer, and it is understandable that Hap and Biff feel daunted by Willy's need for them to be more successful than he is. American parents also have a tendency to make things too easy for their children, providing for their every need.
