Biff returns from the west to visit his family although he doesn’t know how long he’s going to stay. Happy is glad to see him, but Willy seems strangely irritated. He talks to old friends he imagines to the chagrin of his family, but no one has the heart to confront him about it.

I think he means he is not a character in society that people admire or wish to be. He is talking about a character that is not a good character, not friendly, maybe evil..not a pillar of society?!
I think thats what it is referring to!
it means he is not a popular person. Not many people like him.

One good way to earn extra brownie points and beef up your essay a bit is to concentrate initially on what "well-liked" actually means, before trying to apply it to the context of the play or character itself. You can write a chunk on that after your introduction as a starting point. Does it mean simply popularity? And what is popularity - likeability? Someone who is witty? Respected? Worshipped? The art of a good english essay is well-structured waffle. Trust me, I got an A.
