How about Howard's views?

Willy longs to achieve great things as a salesman. He is trapped in distortion of the American Dream promoted by a capitalist, materialistic modern society. He perceives it as the ability to become "great" by obtaining enormous material wealth without any apparent effort, to wander into the jungle and emerge a few years later unspeakably rich.

Howard is a pragmatist...what we might today call a "bottom-line" guy. He doesn't hold with any of Willy's old-school attitudes about LOYALTY in the world of business. Willy has ceased to be a producer as a salesman, and so Howard has no further use for him.
