| "Death of a Salesman" | ||||||||||||||

| Renowned playwright Arthur Miller takes a critical look at what comprises the "American Dream" and what can be termed the "American Illusion" in his Death of a Salesman. By examining what the common American does to achieve this elusive dream of success, wild wealth, and prestige, Miller questions what the American Dream truly entails and whether it can be measured. Here, I look at various aspects of this American Dream and attempt to understand it in a variety of settings, including in another fictional work and what drives immigrants to realize the American Dream. | ||||||||||||||

| "My interest really is to try to capture some of the smell and sense of this very vagrant thing we call existance, and that's most difficult." ~Arthur Miller |
