I would suggest that it does not. Toward the end of the
Act, we learn that Willy has tried to kill himself, Linda rips the sons for their lack
of concern for the father (justified or not), Biff makes up some story (for himself or
for his mom/dad?) about going to get a loan from Bill Oliver, and Linda is urging Willy
to get a job at work where he will not have to travel ... all the while not knowing that
he is no longer traveling, nor is he any longer making any "real" money since he's on
commission and about to lose even that job.
Maybe I am not
seeing something, but there's nothing but more delusion at the end of the act, and
nothing that strikes me as positive.
