Arthur Miller's "The Crucible": Power
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Those who hold power in The Crucible are three distinct groups: the government, the girls who falsely accuse others of witchcraft and the quest for female emancipation. Indeed, the power of accusation represents a significantly strong presence in the face of fear and ignorance; with unfounded allegations, innocent people are brought to their death.

Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman”
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses Arthur Miller’s 1949 dramatic classic “Death of a Salesman.” The play is clearly a tragedy but its format of tragedy must be extended to consider other implications than dramatic formula. Because it tells the story of a man of the 20th century does not make it any less “tragic” than the stories of “Macbeth” or “Antigone.” In fact, because it is a modern tragedy it has a great degree of meaning for modern audiences than those of ancient Greece or 16th century England. Miller’s Willy Loman is basically an “average” guy. And like all of Miller’s characters, Willy and his family, are vulnerable and vaguely pathetic people who find themselves led astray by the false values imposed on them by society. For more than half a century, “Death of a Salesman” (debuting in 1949) has allowed Miller to repeatedly make the point that Willy Loman cannot and should not be blamed for who he is or how he has evolved. It is the social and emotional structure of the world Willy inhabits that has defined him and lead him on his path of hopelessness. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman” and Willy Loman as a Father
[ send me this paper ]
This 3 page report discusses Willy Loman, the main character of Arthur Millers Pulitzer Prize-winning play “Death of a Salesman.” Willy’s sons, Biff and Happy, are inexorably affected by their father’s expectations. While the focus of the play in terms of the psychological damage inflicted on biff, it should be noted that Hap also suffered as a result of his father’s beliefs and attitudes. However, because he is ostensibly a “lesser” character, his own pain has also been dismissed as less than that of Biff or Willy. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Arthur Miller/Characterization in Death of a Salesman
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page research paper that looks at Miller's brilliant characterization in Death of a Salesman. The character of Willy Loman, in particular, has come to represent the oppressed worker, who is ground up in the corporate mill. However, Miller's characterization goes much deeper than merely attending to Willy's working persona, he also brings into the societal forces that create Willy's ideas of what constitutes masculinity, and shows how the root cause of Willy's situation is his tremendous and deep-set feelings of inadequacy. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
