Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman", has an aurora of a dream. It is an enduring play that alludes to the unconscious motivations of life. It is a genuine tragedy. This is a story of rags to riches in reverse. It is a story of failure, uphill struggles, and a dream from reality. The American Dream, which is a myth of success, models the events of the plot, the character and the situations. .
"Death of a Salesman" illustrates what most people are up against. The reader sees the situations of civilization that he lives in himself, not the situations that Willy Loman, the salesman, encounters. Willy has conversations that are "inside his head", which Miller once considered to be the title of the play. The past and present weave into one. .
The play is set during the 1950's. During this time, Senator Joe McCarthy was responsible for a movement known as McCarthyism. Readers during this era sometimes view Miller's play as an attack on capitalism. Willy unknowingly symbolizes a revolt against society. He instills this on his sons with the value he places on manual work, sports, fitness and capability to handle tools and build things.
Willy was an outdoorsman and did not realize it. In Act Two,Willy talks about their house and the work he had done: "All the cement, lumber, the reconstruction I put in this house! There ain't a crack to be found in it any more". This explains Biff's success as a ranch hand. In the Requiem, Linda remarks, "He was so wonderful with his hands". It was bred into their family to do this type of work, not to be a white-collar worker. Biff replys to his mother in the Requiem, "He never knew who he was". Willy declares in Act One, "A man who can't handle tools is not a man. Willy could not believe that Charlie's son; Bernard who became a lawyer, would ever be successful because he lacked all these skills. .
The name Loman that Miller picked for Willy is descriptive in itself.

To make this a much happier and romantic story, Disney makes sure that the Prince and Princess are in love with each other before they get married or kiss, by making them meet in the forest and harmlessly dance away, while singing quite a catchy little number ("I walked with you, once upon a dream-). This instills the idea that true love does exist regardless of what social class or fiscal status, since the Prince wanted to marry a peasant rather than a princess, and Aurora wanted to marry someone of unknown status rather than a prince. ... If Disney did make the curse for a hundred years, li...
