    Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman” is perhaps one of the most renowned tragedies of all time. Miller reinvented the framework of the tragedy, and ignoring the rules of Aristotle’s classic tragedy, created a new ‘modern’ form of tragedy that he believed was better. Miller did so by connecting the audience to the main characters of the novel; Willy, Biff, Happy, and Linda, making them relatable and similar to the common man. Despite seeming average at first glance, the Loman family is wounded, and they are struggle to stay afloat. With his entire family on the edge, the burdens of the house and family stack up on Willy, ultimately leading to his death by suicide, which is a clear indicator that out of all the characters of the novel, Mr. Loman was most wounded by far.…

    social bond theory

    • 728 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Social bond theory was created by Travis Hirschi and it is a form of social control theory. Social control theorists are more interested in explaining why someone is not being deviant rather than why they are. In this theory it is expected that deviance will occur at some point. Hirschi's social bond theory explains that deviane is expected to occur because crime is easy to do; you do not need any special skills to commit crimes. Everyone has the same amount of motivation to participate in deviance. Social bond theory is made up of four bonds; attachment, commitment, involvement, and belief. Each bond is a bond to conformity and that keeps individuals from doing deviant behavior. Hirschi argues that the strength of social control a person has is what differentiates people who committ offenses from those who do not.…
