Arthur Miller’s, A Death of a Salesman focuses on Willy Loman’s version of the American Dream. Many people feel that the American dream is achieving their dreams and being successful in the career they choose. Some people, like Willy, spend years on trying to accomplish their dream. Unfortunately, his dream was not successful. Other characters in Miller’s play, like Charlie and Bernard, do achieve their American dreams. Arthur Miller displays the corruption of the American dream through the character Willy Loman, and the success of the American dream through Charlie and Bernard. Willy Loman corrupts the entire concept of the American dream in A Death of a Salesman. Part of the American dream is having a perfect, loving family. The Loman family does not carry these qualities. One example of this is when Willy commits adultery. He is constantly finding women to sleep with, which is breaking up his family. This is not something the “typical” American family would be proud of.
