It addresses the painful conflicts within one family, but it also tackles larger issues regarding American national values. The play examines the cost of blind faith in the American Dream. In this respect, it offers a postwar American reading of personal tragedy in the tradition of Sophocles’ Oedipus Cycle. Miller charges America with selling a false myth constructed around a capitalist materialism nurtured by the postwar economy, a materialist that obscured the personal truth and moral vision of the original American Dream described by the county’s founders. In a word, analyzing Death of A Salesman can help us to have a deep understanding that a person’s personality determines his social relations with others and his fate. Therefore, Willy’s personality demonstrates that it is difficult for him to get well with others and his personality is destined to the failure of his American dream, and his tragic The thesis has four parts. The fist chapter mainly introduces the information of the author and the background, and it briefly makes an overview of the whole story. The second chapter focuses on the characteristics of Willy Loma, who out of a false sense of pride when his business is in depression violates the quality maxim, coupled with his entrenchment in a quagmire of lies, delusions, and self-deceptions. He failure to recognize the anguished love offered to him by his family is crucial to the climax of his torturous day, and the play presents this incapacity as the real tragedy. The third chapter analyzes Willy’s characteristics, and makes a summary of the American people’s mind under the cultural background. The last chapter concludes the main content of the whole thesis, and once more proposes the theme.
