Linda is the one who will never or never leave the house because she finished paying the bill and she just couldn't see her husband leaving like that. Linda cannot accept his death until she has had the chance to say goodbye to him once and for all. “I never got a chance to say goodbye” (Miller 1173). They didn't listen to the false illusions of others because Willy was a successful man and when he left someone would have to carry the baton from then on, they just didn't know who it would be.
