In Death Of A Salesman, there are two major characters in the play that greatly contrast each other. Biff Loman and Bernard, these characters both serve as representations of their father’s ideals in life and how they perceive it. This is important to the play since it shows us how Willy Loman’s ideology on the American dream is superficial and unsuccessful for his son and for himself ultimately, forcing it on Biff. While Bernard's father Charley ideology is more realistic and successful for his…

What is a hero? People usually think of Superman, Batman or Captain America when ‘hero’ is brought up. But, are heroes people who fight criminals, or have supernatural powers? Take Darry Curtis as and example. Darry isn't like the stereotypical heroes- he’s not strong like Batman, or have supernatural powers like Superman, but he is selfless, loyal and caring. Darry is the most selfless person that has been written about. For example, Darry was “a real popular guy in school; he was captain of…

At the heart of Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, the central conflict occurs through the relationship of Willy Loman and his eldest son, Biff. Throughout the play, Miller shows the continuously building relationships to reveal the true themes of the play, as well as to create a character of hope and a tragic character. Through Willy Loman unrealistic expectations and unrealistic view on life, Miller is able to create a tragic character whom can be granted with the formation of a character of…

For this assignment I have chosen to do Reverend Hale. In the beginning of the play he was a “proud young man” who thought that this was nothing more than an errand (Miller 1146). As the story progresses so does his character. He began this story with the thought that he was going for a small trip and would be quickly returning home but he soon learns that what was to be a “Simple errand” would soon become a unjust killing spree of the court. He realizes that he had walked into something much…

Hale’s Personal Struggle Is there a clear difference between right and wrong in this world? Arthur Miller explores this question in The Crucible with Hale, a minister that thought of himself as a doctor of the supernatural. He came into the town with his books that were ‘’weighted with authority’’ (Miller, page 36) and he believed that with these books, any wrongdoings of people who worked with the devil would become transparent, and those people could be brought to justice with ease. Hale was…

However, many overlook the associating sense of delusion and deception that corresponds amongst it, resulting from the excessive fantasizing of prospective wealth, and this mindset is truly apparent in the novel, Death of a Salesman. The novel was written in 1949, the pinnacle of the…

The story “A Rupee Earned” written by I.F. Bulatkin established a strong connection between me and the story. An issue that was addressed in the story was fairly similar to what I had experienced in the past, where the boy in the story relied on others to achieve what he wanted at the end. This was displayed throughout the story when the father told his son that if he the son wanted to inherit his wealth he would have to earn a rupee from the labor of his own hands. While the son was very lazy…
