Joe Keller was a successful business man who created airplane parts. He lived in a middle class home with his wine and sons. Joe thought of himself as an honest, hard working man, but as the play progressed, he realized he destroyed more relationships than he maintained. Joe thought he was helping his family by selling defective parts to the United States Army. If he did not send them across to aid the war effort with the risk of law suits, fines, and jail time.
