REALITY VERSUS THE AMERICAN DREAM IN ARTHUR MILLER’S PLAYS
REALITY VERSUS THE AMERICAN DREAM IN ARTHUR MILLER’S PLAYS

Summary/Abstract: Arthur Miller‟s desire for a believable plot extended to the idea that stories about men and their ordinary problems should be exposed for the public to analyse from different spectres and so he found great inspiration in everyday reality, which helped him shape characters willing to embrace contemporary values and principles that moulded their developing personalities. The American Dream stands out as one of Miller‟s most popular topics as it transforms his protagonists into creators of worlds paralleling reality, feeding their imagination and helping them escape real life, as times change and people become more self-absorbed, focusing on ideals and feeding on the desire of achievement.
