Arthur Miller's "All My Sons"

Book Summary by: AcaDemon    


This paper explains that Arthur Miller, in his tragic play, "All My Sons", symbolizes through the lifestyle of the Keller
family and their friends his view of the American Dream. The author points out that the concept of the American Dream is associated with the years following WWII, in which, through the movies such as "Pleasantville", the world created successful children, perfect families, and a happy stay-at-home mother, which, in the end, just as for the characters in this play, was impossible. The paper relates that writer Miller is the character Jim Bayliss, who, even though he has moral values, lives his life in sync with everyone else.
