In both stories‚ Troy and Willy’s behaviors and attitudes are very different from one another in relation to how they handle their family and marriage. However‚ their actions

Descartes develops a somewhat realist view in his meditations while Berkeley argues that his non-realist perception can sufficiently account for anything a realist would be able to with their system of philosophy. Essentially‚ Berkeley states that what Descartes believes as corporeal is simply a false understanding of the ideas

    Arthur Miller’s play Death of a Salesman addresses loss of identity and a man’s inability to accept change within himself and society.
