Death of a Salesman/Pursuit of Happyness
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page essay that compares Arthur Miller’s play “Death of a Salesman” and the 2006 film “The Pursuit of Happyness” (directed by Gabriele Muccino for Columbia Pictures) present two very different portrayals of fatherhood. The protagonists for both works are salesman, both fathers, both down-and-out and desperate to succeed. But they are also extremely different, in that Miller’s Willy Loman has a false sense of values and no sense of his own identity, while the film’s protagonist, Chris Gardner displays a firm sense of values and also demonstrates that he knows his own potential and abilities. In both cases, how the men view themselves is a legacy that is transmitted to their sons. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Death of a Salesman/Willy's Legacy
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that examines the legacy of Willy Loman in Arthur Miller's play "Death of a Salesman." This play is an American tragedy because the legacy that Willy passes on to his sons is one that is terribly flawed. Willy has consistently adhered to the American cultural standard that links good looks, popularity and material possessions with a conceptualization of what it means to be a "success." The context of the play shows that this legacy has not only failed to provide Willy with happiness or a sense of purpose in his life, but it has also failed his sons. No additional sources cited.
