THE SOCIAL STRUCTURE OF ARTHUR MILLER’S CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN SOCIETY IN REFERENCE TO ‘DEATH OF A SALESMAN’

Abstract

War forms social and economic progression by destroying the existing ideologies of the society.
It always reshapes the social infra-structure. The amalgamation of the ambition and realization
leads the civilization to its extreme frustration to fulfill the dream of the capitalists. Therefore,
social representation paves the way to its understanding of the humane mannerisms in the
context of economic progression. A death is not a periphery, more than that to point out the
social follies and mal-practices of the capital society where human life is very less emphasized
than profit. The philosophy of existential crisis becomes acute when the society searches for the
meaning of life. Perhaps, ‘American dream’ made life much more critical and mechanical what
was experienced by Arthur Miller and spread throughout the globe and caused not only the dreah
of representative but the death of a dream. It has often been said that Death of a Salesman is a
harsh criticism of the American Dream.
