In his early life Arthur Miller’s father was a well-renowned and respected businessman. The family was well off and owned, along with their main house, a summerhouse in Queens. Along with 400 employees, the family also had a hired a chauffeur, however, as a result of his father’s business loss in 1928 the family was forced to move to Brooklyn. Here Miller was raised for the rest of his youth, and he spent a great deal of time amongst those that had once been prosperous, but were forced out onto the streets as a result of the 1929 stock market crash, which was one element that aided in the Great Depression. Seeing the affects of the dirty thirties, the failures that people would eventually blame upon themselves, Miller was able to use such

  • Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller

    1336 Words  | 3 Pages

    Since the beginning of the Industrial Age, Americans have idealized the journey towards economic success. One thing people do not realize, however, is that journey is not the same for every individual. Media often leads its viewers toward a “one size fits all” version of success that may help themselves, but will rarely help the viewers. This is seen in Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman. Miller includes multiple instances of symbolism and personification to reveal to the reader the situational irony in Willy’s life, underlining the theme of self-deception in regard to the American Dream. This American Dream, fueled by money, is the main source of anxiety in Willy’s life. The anxiety of income is reflected today in the issue of minimum wage. James Sherk, a writer of the Tribune News Service, plots thoughtful points against raising the minimum wage. However, his use of over-exaggeration and odd comparisons leave his argument less than convincing.

  • Destruction of the American Dream in Arthur Miller's Death of A Salesman

    822 Words  | 2 Pages

    A white picket fence surrounds the tangible icons of the American Dreams in the middle 1900's: a mortgage, an automobile, a kitchen appliance paid for on the monthly - installment - plan, and a silver trophy representative of high school football triumph. A pathetic tale examining the consequences of man's harmartias, Arthur Miller's "Death of A Salesman" satisfies many, but not all, of the essential elements of a tragedy. Reality peels away the thin layers of Willy Loman's American Dream; a dream built on a lifetime of poor choices and false values.

    “Figure it out. Work a lifetime to pay for a house. You finally own it, and there’s no one to live in it.” This line was from the 1949 play Death of a Salesman. In his early years Miller wrote plays, but none of them were produced. Death of a Salesman was not his first success, but was still widely admired. He grew to become one of the century’s greatest American dramatists. However this title was not easily achieved. After growing up in Harlem and working the Brooklyn Navy Yard to becoming a Pulitzer Prize winner, Arthur Miller is held with high respect. Miller had a lifelong dream. That dream was to become a famous playwright. With a lot of hard times and struggles, he reached his goal.

  • How Did Arthur Miller Contribute To Capitalism

    1309 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Great Depression could undoubtedly be one of the darkest times for 20th-century America, and many opinions on capitalism shifted. Among the perceptions of failed capitalism after the great depression is Arthur Miller’s, one of America's most popular playwrights. Miller grew up as a son of a factory owner that employed 800 to 1,000 people, but about a year after the stock market crashed in 1929, according to Miller, there was nothing left of it. As he grew up, he started to have opinions about capitalism that ran under investigation by the United State’s anti-Communist department, the “House Un-American Activities Committee” or H.U.A.C. for short, in 1956. Additionally, a speech delivered by Miller in 1958 Miller states that while he was growing up, he began to wonder if success was immoral, or if it was morally right for someone’s life to get destroyed by decisions that were not that of their own, which points out that the great depression brought him to a realization. Ultimately, the American dramatist Arthur Miller contributed to 20th-century realism in his play Death of a Salesman with his underlying

  • Willy Lowman’s Tragic Misinterpretation of the American Dream in Death of a Salesman

    1178 Words  | 3 Pages

    In brief, it is apparent that Willy’s own actions led to not only his own demise, but his children’s as well. The salesman tragically misinterpreted the American Dream for only the superficial qualities of beauty, likeability and prosperity. Perhaps if Willy had been more focused on the truth of a person’s character, rather than purely physical aspects, his family’s struggles and his own suicide could have been avoided. On the whole, Arthur Miller’s play is evidence that the search for any dream or goal is not as easy and the end result may seem. The only way to realize the objective without any despair is the opposite of Willy Loman’s methods: genuineness, perseverance and humility.

    The Post WWII american society experienced a boom in economic prosperity. This era, from 1945 to 1970, was coined “the golden age of capitalism”. Spirits of the citizens were high as they realized working in cities at jobs such as stockbrokers, salesmen, and factory workers were a solid foundation upon which a man could securely support his family. In the plays The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams and Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller, Tom and Willy respectively experience the weight of supporting their families during this quickly changing society, but respond in different ways to the pressure of not being free to entertain their true passions.
