Cora Tucker is a woman who finds happiness in life, whereas Willy does not. Cora is successful. Willy is not successful. Is Cora successful because she is "well-liked?" I think that this idea has some effect on her success, but that depends on how you define success. If you are like Willy, then success is described as being "Well-liked." Cora finds success in the smallest things, and she doesn't need fame and fortune.
But, at the same time, they do want different things; Cora wants her ideas to be heard, while Willy wants to be well liked. They are very different people, and I don't think that they would be able to get along very well if they were put in the same room together. Willy tries to be well liked, but he does this by trying to please others, instead of himself. He relies on his entire image, which is the same image that could destroy him. Cora is not quite as weak as Willy, she seems to be strong-willed, and pushing her ideas towards other people. This causes a lot of people to not agree with her ideas. Despite all of this, I do admire Cora, since she is the one who has succeeded more than WIlly. If Willy had half the strength that Cora did, then he would not have failed at being "Well-liked."
