Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman: politics, social conscience, and the american dream
Full text linkDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras/Inglês e Literatura CorrespondenteInvestiga como as questões político-sociais atingiram as personagens de Arthur Miller na peça Death of a Salesman, contribuindo para moldar suas personalidades e determinando o seu destino. Mostra que, para Arthur Miller, Benjamin Franklin foi a principal fonte de inspiração no seu retrato das preocupações políticas, da consciência social americanas e dos princípios que formam o sonho americano do sucesso. As três obras mais importantes de Benjamin Franklin: Poor Richard's Almanack, The Autobiography e The Way to Wealth são aqui estudadas com especial interesse na suposição de que este estudo proporcione um melhor entendimento da peça Death of a Salesman. Finalmente, concluí que embora os textos de Franklin tenham claramente influenciado Arthur Miller na construção de seus personagens, esta influência não tem um caráter determinista, sendo possível reunir as personagens em três grupos distintos: o pró-Franklin, o pseudo-Franklin e o anti-Franklin pogrus

THE CRITICAL FORTUNES OF ARTHUR MILLER'S\ud

This thesis undertakes the task of exploring Arthur Miller???s Death of a\ud
Salesman through various venues and critical interpretations. In particular, it will focus\ud
on the relevance and endeavors of Miller???s writing in its placement of 20th century\ud
American drama. Miller???s play serves as a pivotal work balancing on the cusp of the\ud
modernist and post-modernist era, embodying man???s search for meaning in the American\ud
culture and society around him.\ud
The first chapter will summarize key points, give a literature review, and\ud
address methodological concerns of this thesis. Opening with Stanley Kauffmann???s\ud
definition of ???tragedy,??? this serves as a springboard for the tragic philosophical\ud
contentions present in 20th century drama. This chapter lays the foundation of Miller???s\ud
viii\ud
play as a post-modern epic which seeks to explore man???s perilous situation in the\ud
progression of the modern age.\ud
The second chapter will then explore elements of tragedy by analyzing an\ud
amalgamation of critical sources which elaborate and examine modern tragedy found in\ud
both Classical theatre and that of the present day. To quote Miguel de Unamuno, ???To cure\ud
the plague is not enough, it must also be lamented with bitter tears. Yes, we must learn to\ud
weep!??? (21). The persistence of memory with the expansion of consciousness means that\ud
human beings must take time to ???learn??? again how to feel and register losses. This is\ud
Miller???s purpose in modern American tragedy, to make his audience experience pathos,\ud
the ability to feel again. Through a modern critical guise this chapter will look at the\ud
critical interpretation of Miller???s work and motives in writing Death of a Salesman, as a\ud
work that fuses classical dramatic tensions with modern themes crucial to our present\ud
age.\ud
The third chapter will look at the role of the ???American dream??? and its\ud
connection to the myth of the Eden and creation. The garden-or wilderness-was once a\ud
paradise, a symbol of wealth that embodies man???s creative possibility. But like Adam,\ud
Miller???s characters are fallen creatures in a fallen world. Their search for the garden is as\ud
futile as Willy Loman???s quest for wealth and riches in a world that does not recognizes\ud
who he is. Likewise the dream of a better life, the ???American dream,??? then becomes a\ud
myth that cannot be achieved on Miller???s stage. Chapter III will examine the biblical\ud
motif of the garden and the cultivation of the American Dream, both its hopes and\ud
ix\ud
failures in the Loman family. This includes an examination of the ???American man,??? his\ud
placement on the stage both literal and figuratively. It will delve into Miller???s idea of the\ud
tragic man as the common man, not king or prince, but the everyday American whose\ud
deeds are worthy of our attention.\ud
The fourth chapter will then be a juxtaposition of parallel passages from\ud
Miller???s Death of a Salesman and O???Neill???s play Long Day???s Journey Into Night. The\ud
comparative links between these two plays is not merely chronological, but focuses on\ud
two American families seemingly at the edge of ruin. Each family has the central figures\ud
of mother, father, and their two sons. Both plays examine the American family; flawed,\ud
broken, and hopelessly unable to rise above their circumstances; be it emotional, social,\ud
financial, or psychological. Each plays further suggest that the family is a commentary on\ud
the evolution of modern American society, strained between ideals of love and blind\ud
forces of oppressive economic determinism.\ud
This will be followed by the Chapter V, the Conclusion, thus completing the\ud
tragic work Arthur Miller has wrought with his play Death of a Salesman, demonstrating\ud
both the social and interior complexities of modern man and American drama.CSU, Chic
