The Views of Arthur Miller about the American Dream

ENGLISH

This study aims to portray Willy Loman, Miller's primary character, as a haunted American dream figure. It also demonstrates how Willy pursued his death without even considering that he was on the wrong track. It also focuses on how his aspirations were so small yet were never realised since imperialism's nature is to exploit people and toss their peels, not to serve them and fulfil their ambitions. It also focuses on Miller's inventiveness in lifting the play to the level of traditional plays by turning it into a masterpiece. It demonstrates how Miller can make his audience empathise with Willy and fear for his catharsis, despite the fact that he is devoid of dignity or greatness. He portrays himself as a representation of the entire generation infected by the American dream culture.
