Please answer this question about Death of a Salesman.How does Willy’s interview with Howard reveal that Willy transfers his professional...

In the interview that Willy has with Howard, his boss, we
definitely see the pressures of Willy's existence forcing him to act irrationally and in
a sense pushing Howard towards the conclusion of the interview, when he fires Willy. It
is important to note the context of the interview: just before it, Linda reminds Willy
to ask for an advance to pay off some outstanding bills, and then Linda is seen mending
her stockings that reminds Willy of his infidelity. The personal shame of being an
adulterer and also his lack of means are important to understand the desperate nature of
Willy but also the way he acts.

Howard is presented as
unsympathetic and as someone who does not understand. He suggests that Willy by the
recorder he is playing with, even when Willy has no chance of being able to afford the
money to pay for it. He barely listens to Willy's story about his inspiration of
becoming a salesman. Willy sticks to his version of "reality" as he begins to shout at
Howard and almost lecture him:

Now pay attention. Your father--in 1928 I had a
big year. I averaged a hundred and seventy dollars a week in
commissions...

Howard makes
the truth clear by beginning to tell Willy that this is just not true, but Willy stops
him, shouting out the truth. However, after Howard leaves, Willy realises how he was
behaving irrationally. Rather than ushering in a period of sanity, however, he only goes
on to sink into his delusions further, addressing Howard's father, the long-dead
Frank:

Pull
myself together! What the hell did I say to him? My God, I was yelling at him! How could
I! Willy breaks off, staring at the light, which occupies the
chair, animating it. He approaches this chair, standing across the desk from
it. Frank, Frank, don't you remember what you told me that time? How you put
your hand on my shoulder, and
Frank...

Clearly the
pressures of his life makes the delusions that he experiences worse. Note that after
Howard exits, having fired him, Willy has an interview with Ben, his imaginary brother
who he "calls up" in times of need.
