... The American dream is interwoven and deeply embedded in every fabric of American life. This dream is associated with rugged individualism, generous enthusiasm, and idealism in the pursuit of success, fame, power, and glory in their supremely possible ways. The American Dream is a complicated ideal that has been corrupted through time, and we see this in F. Scott Fitzerald’s, The Great Gatsby, and Arthur Miller’s, “Death of a Salesman.”
The American Dream originated from the Puritan culture and was based on the idea that America was “a city on a hill”, a land of freedom, a beacon of hope, promise, and equal opportunity. ... The American Dream has been described by author William Fahey as “a rise from rags to riches, of amassing a great fortune that will assure a life of luxuriant ease, power, and beauty in and ideal world untroubled by care and devoted to everlasting pleasure with nothing to intervene between wish and fulfillment.” It is a dream that everyone can attain everything they desire in life; it is a promise of prosperity and happiness based on financial independence.
