Likely a result of these early experiences, Willy develops a fear of abandonment, which makes him want his family to conform to the American Dream. His efforts to raise perfect sons, however, reflect his inability to understand reality. The young Biff, whom Willy considers the embodiment of promise, drops Willy and Willy’s zealous ambitions for him when he finds out about Willy’s adultery. Biff’s ongoing inability to succeed in business furthers his estrangement from Willy. When, at Frank’s Chop House, Willy finally believes that Biff is on the cusp of greatness, Biff shatters Willy’s illusions and, along with Happy, abandons the deluded, babbling Willy in the washroom.
About Willy's father -
"All I remember is a man with a big beard, and I was in Mamma's lap, sitting around a fire, and some kind of high music."
About Ben -
"I have an appointment in Ketchikan Tuesday week."
"Haven't the time, William."
One of the very first examples of abandonment throughout Willy's life is when his father abandons him.
Ben also then abandons him when he departs for Alaska in order to find their father.
