Death Of A Salesman : A Social Criticism
Words: 1784 - Pages: 7.... arguments on Miller's excellent work, the focus of this theme will be on Salesman's value as a comment on society. Willy does not meet America's twentieth century economic standards of success, therefore he is seen as a failure; he absolutely will not entertain the possibility of finding a job more suitable to his talents, even though perhaps he could function as a member of society if he did; and he lives in a deluded bubble, angry, self-righteous, too proud for his own good... qualities that simply do not survive in America's production-based, time-crunch, fast-food and fast talk society.

Words: 1161 - Pages: 5.... the evil Iroquois Indians without batting so much as an eyelash.
The makers of the movie take great pains to preserve these facets of
Hawkeye, but then go beyond what Cooper originally laid down as the basis
for his hero's character. In the book, Hawkeye displays very little
