Willy Loman and the Common Misconception of the “American Dream” Throughout Arthur Miller’s play, Death of a Salesman, Willy Loman chases after the popular “American Dream” of the 1900s-to be a successful businessman with the white picket fence around your house, modern technology (such as cars and refrigerators), and the satisfaction of being able to provide for your own family. Unfortunately, this chase causes the Loman family to fail in their jobs and eventually leads Willy to commit suicide. It is easy to blame Willy for his death by simply calling him crazy, however there are many different factors that added to Willy’s fragile state. Fred Ripkoff states that in order to understand the identity crisis of Loman (and other Miller characters), that “it is necessary to understand shame’s relationship to guilt and identity.” (1). Willy struggled with finding his identity because he was so caught up in his chase for his “American Dream”.

O. Henry adds an ironic plot twist to the end of his short story “The Ransom of Red Chief” by turning the expectations of the audience around by making them feel sorry for the kidnappers, and not the so-called victim. The kidnappers, Sam and Bill, originally planned a kidnapping to receive money for a child named Johnny. The child turns out mischievous and troublesome to the point that he drives Bill and Sam crazy. The boy calls himself Red Chief and enjoys the adventure of camping out in the cave and staying away from home. Red Chief practically controls his captors and enjoys himself immensely.
A good example of a Greaser who is none of these things is Darry, the eldest of the Curtis family. Darry could have gone to college if it wasn’t for his parents being killed in a car crash, which meant he had to stay home to mind his younger brothers or they would be sent to a boy’s home. Some members do git the stereotype, such as Dallas Winston, who was always in trouble with the law. The rival gang, the Socs, are also stereotyped. They are considered rich, spoilt and lucky.
