In Death of a Salesman how does willy treat happy?

In Death of a Salesman, Willy treats his son Happy in a complex and often contradictory manner. On the one hand, Willy loves Happy and wants him to succeed in life. He constantly expresses his pride in Happy's athletic abilities and his potential for success in business. He also tries to instill in Happy his own values, such as the importance of hard work and ambition.

On the other hand, Willy is often critical of Happy and puts him down. He mocks Happy's choice of career (as an assistant to the assistant buyer at a sporting goods store) and compares him unfavorably to his older brother, Biff. Willy also blames Happy for not being more successful, and he often expresses his disappointment in him.

Willy's treatment of Happy is ultimately damaging to their relationship. Happy feels neglected and unappreciated by his father, and he comes to resent him. This resentment eventually leads Happy to leave home and start his own life, which further strains their relationship.

Despite their differences, Willy and Happy do love each other. In the play's final scene, Happy expresses his love for Willy and his grief over his death. Willy, in turn, expresses his love for Happy and his hope for his future success.
