ABSTRACT:
(5 pp) Death of a Salesman gives different
insights and different meanings to the American
dream of success and shows what can happen when
the dream is false, distorted or unfulfilled. The
American dream was in serious trouble for Willy
Loman and his family because of his fervent
pursuit of success, wealth and status. He believed
the myth that success was based on popularity,
personality and personal attractiveness. "Be liked
and you will never want" (.33), and "Riding on a
smile and a shoeshine," and ". . . personality
always wins the day" ( 65) are examples of those
deceptions. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
