Willy Loman is an icon of the current father figure in modern society. As a salesman and father, he can achieve nothing. For Willy, the father figure should be strong and rich so these aspects are deeply related to his brother Ben and a successful salesman, Dave Singleman. As surrogate father figures, Ben and Singleman are Willy’s ideal which can be embodied masculinity. Staging the absent father, Miller put an emphasis on the overtones of the absence of father as logos, language, and power.
Willy’s father does not exist on the stage. The connection between the absent father and the lost children provides a key to understanding the meaning of the absence of father, the relationship between father and son, and the conflict between bereft family members.
Miller’s male characters escape from their families which suppress their masculinity defined largely by physical and emotional strength and independence. Every father as a family provider is suppressed by social and cultural ideology emphasizing manhood or masculinity. Suppressed masculinity is one of the reasons that fathers should be absent from their family. However, the absent father still exists in the center of their family, thus becoming a force that propels the plays into dramatic actions. Paradoxically, father’s absence or death magnifies and perpetuates his presence.
The absence of father alienates his children from themselves and the world that surrounds them, relegating them to the status of lost children. They live in a wasteland, in a world of nostalgia, and in an illusory world. The lost children search for their fathers; they may become the father, follow in his path, or recreate a part of his life. In particular, it reveals that the absence of father is another name for trauma.
In Death of a Salesman, the father is a focal figure that leads the son toward the absence of father, a longing that leaves so expansive an emptiness that the lost son wanders through a frontier of the father's land that can never be reached.
Ironically the absent father is an index to show some lack in other characters. To fill the lack characters seek for the Lacan’s objet a that is a cause to draw desire. The other characters’ desire is the desire of the Other. Like language the characters’ desire is structuralized, from which they cannot escape. Their desire produces another desire inexplicably and interminably. The desire toward the absent father cannot be fulfilled in the structure of endless circulation.
There remains the absent father on the stage as the image of the lack of the lack. Representing the absent father, others’ discourse enlarges and reaffirms the father figure as the center of language and social and cultural institutions. In this sense, the image of the absent father is not deleting or burying the father figure, but redeeming and magnifying the authority of father everlastingly.
