The American Dream is a belief by people that if they work hard enough and long enough in this country, they will find success in whatever they do. The American Dream is constantly shown and depicted in movies and books by having characters trying to achieve this fulfilling life. This success for most people is shown through a good paying job, a big house, and a happy and very loving family. Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman is a character who tries his whole life to reach his American Dream.…

factors of events in The Crucible, the origin of all “problems” have been by word of the mouth, otherwise known as gossip. In the beginning Abigail Williams and Reverend Parris are together when Abigail says, “… But they’re speaking of witchcraft...” (Miller 10). The town’s residents have created a gossip amidst themselves subsequently creating hysteria. Hysteria then prompts the residents to act carelessly convicting many of the crime witchcraft. Likewise, in a more modern event in history can…

Willy is one character who craves for the attention and is aided by the desire for success. In his daily interactions, he continually refers to his elder brother Ben that fortunately made it through diamond mining just because he represents all the things he desires (Kirszner and Mandell, 2012). Willy desires much more for himself as well as his children even though he does not put up measures to achieve the same things that the individuals he desires have managed to undergone. The entire play…

Written Assignment Rationale I decided to focus on a 1949 play written by American playwright Arthur Miller. The story takes place in the United Stated probably in the late 1940s and is a critique of the American Dream. The main character is a salesman Willy Loman, who’s unrealistic dreams affect the whole family: wife Linda and sons Biff and Happy. Eventually Willy dies, Biff leaves the family home, and Happy states that he wants to pursue father’s dreams. I decided to write a goodbye letter…

The tragic play “Death Of a Salesman” by Arthur Miller, is about a salesman named Willy Loman whose life is going downhill. Willy Loman, the head of the family, has been teaching his two sons Biff and Happy about how they should live their life. Biff was a football star at his high school and hoped that he would receive a scholarship from University of Virginia. Unfortunately, he flunked his math class and could not graduate. His other son, Happy is the youngest son who actually listens to Willy…

is a simpler form of lying. Lying is just one of the themes in the play Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller. Miller demonstrates this by how Willy lies in order to appear that he is successful, that he is adored by many, and about his oldest child`s accomplishments. In these ways, Miller uses Willy to illustrate how people lie in order to make themselves look better than they actually are. Miller uses Will`s lies about his success to portray how most people lie to make themselves look better.…

The play is set in a highly religious community whose people are utterly devoted to God and the ten commandments. Arthur Miller writes about the witchcraft trials that took place in Salem, Massachusetts, in the year of 1692. The playwright has taken a similar personal experience and related it to the time period of the 1960s, this relates to the "Red Scare" that happened in America when suspected communists were tried. The characters in this play are in a perpetual struggle to prove their…

1692 was a wicked prejudicial year for those in the United States. Anybody who feels like they are in harm's way will try their best to feel a sense of safety. The more people who feel threatened about the same thing the more chaos occurs due to mass hysteria. This not only refers to modern day crime but events throughout history as well. A good example of mass hysteria and the need to feel secure happened during the time of the Salem witch hunts that led to the trials of Salem. Many…

Also, many false accusation have been given to innocent people, so many people left very angry. Many writers displayed their views through their heroes, as in Arthur Miller’s The Crucible and John Osborne’s look back in anger. The Crucible as title refers to the fiery events of witch craft trials, which has led to the purification of John Proctor . The Crucible is considered as historical fiction. It displays true story that has happened in Salem 1692. As many false accusation…
