Death of a Salesman: The Emptiness of the American Dream :: Death of a Salesman

Any steering that you state it, an Ameri arsehole dream is a never-ending cycle of idealism. In other words, the yearning to be better than the best and to achieve faultless governmental harmony throughout society. Think about it though, if this were a possibility, wouldnt it have already occurred?The first character seen directly ac lie withledging the emptiness of the American dream was the overlooked Loman brother, Happy. Happy, although suffering from younger-brother syndrome and lack of fatherly attention, proved to be the only successful family member of all the Lomans. Still, any amount of success would never be enough for him. The American dream would never be enough to make Happy happy. All I can do now is wait for the merchandise manager to die. And suppose I get to be merchandise manager? Hes a good friend of mine, and he just built a majestic estate on Long Island. And he lived there about 2 months and sold it, and now hes building another one. He ca nt enjoy it once its finished. And I bash thats just what I would do. I dont know what the hell Im workin for. Sometimes I sit in my apartment- all alone. And I think of the rent Im paying. And its crazy. But then, its what I always wanted. My own apartment, a car, and mount of women. And still, goddammit, Im lonely. It is rather ironic that the American dream that Willy strives for workaday is the very same dream Happy pushes away. Willy believes the key to life and achieving the American dream is being well liked. However, his beliefs were faulty as well as trite, as we all saw when Bernard, who wasnt very well liked, achieved the American dream. Bernard can get the best marks in school, yunderstand, hardly when he gets out in the business world, yunderstand, you are liberation to be five times ahead of himBecause the man who makes an appearance in the business world, the man who creates personal interest, is the man who gets ahead. Be liked and you testament never want.(W illy P. 33) This is Willy and one of his more pompous conversations with Biff on regards to Bernard. As usual, Willys prediction was far off from the truth. Bernard grew up and got married, had 2 boys, and had his perish appearance leaving to go argue a case in front of the Supreme Court.
