The American Dream in Death of a Salesma
In Arthur Millers “Death of a Salesman” the life of an average man of the mid nineteen forties is played out on stage. The play tells the story of Willy Loman and his family. Willy, like so many other men, just wants to be successful and raise two successful sons. He wants to live the so called “American dream” that was so important during this time period. The success of a man and his family was how he was judged, if he and his sons were successful then he must be a great man. The seduction of the American dream is what Willy lives for, and dies for. As Arthur Miller shows in this play, the power of the American dream is enough to drive a man crazy, and even end his life. The setting of this play tells a lot about how the American dream is being represented. Everyone always wants the big house with the white picket fence and a garden in the back.
