Death of a Salesman.
[ send me this paper ]
(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
in the myth that success was based on popularity,
personality and personal attractiveness. "Be liked
and you will never want." (p.33) and "Riding on a
smile and a shoeshine," and ". . . personality
always wins the day." (p. 65) are examples of
those deceptions.

Death of a Salesman/Pursuit of Happyness
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay that compares Arthur Miller’s play “Death of a Salesman” and the 2006 film “The Pursuit of Happyness” (directed by Gabriele Muccino for Columbia Pictures) present two very different portrayals of fatherhood. The protagonists for both works are salesman, both fathers, both down-and-out and desperate to succeed. But they are also extremely different, in that Miller’s Willy Loman has a false sense of values and no sense of his own identity, while the film’s protagonist, Chris Gardner displays a firm sense of values and also demonstrates that he knows his own potential and abilities. In both cases, how the men view themselves is a legacy that is transmitted to their sons. Bibliography lists 1 source.
