Arthur Miller's American Dream

In Arthur Miller’s play “Death of A Salesman”, through Linda’s character the author implies a slice of life, that life is not fair and that it is difficult for some people to achieve their American Dream. The American dream is attainable, but is also difficult to achieve for some people; this world Miller is talking about is mostly like our real world, sins, evil, illusions, secrets. Furthermore, Miller gives us an example of what life is and how it works, how the world is with no fairness to anyone; at this time Uncle Ben explains to Biff that life doesn’t give anyone an opportunity to live freely; that they have to be a fighter. Is like nature’s law, eat or be eaten, nature is life and life is not fair in nature. “Never fight fair with a
stranger, boy. You’ll never get out of the jungle that way”(34). Uncle Ben compares life with the jungle and how the jungle is a dangerous place for someone like Biff to live in. Miller concludes that life is not fair and that only the strongest and smartest ones can only survive in it. There is no such thing as luck in this world. Chance is never a factor
