Biff and Willy

Biff goes to the hotel to try and get his dad to talk to the school because Biff flunked math.  Biff goes and finds a women in the hotel room with his father.  He breaks down and sees that his father is nothing but a fake and cheating on Biff’s mom.  Biff hates seeing this and yells at his dad for doing this and for being a fake.  Biff also says his dad could never do anything.   Biff then says he is done and will not be going to college and is mad at his father for doing what he did.  This ruined their relationship because Biff saw that his dad was not a good man.  It shattered Biff to see his dad doing this because Biff always believed the best in his dad.  This is why today Biff and Willy don’t get along because Biff knows that his dad cheated on his mom and that his dad is a fake.

I agree with you that the instance when Biff discovered that his dad had been cheating on his mom with the woman was what had broken their relationships and why it is still fragile today. He had basically thought the world of his father before he had realized that he was just a cheating, dishonest fake. It seemed kind of hard to believe that one moment like that good change everything so dramatically.
Great blog!
