All My Sons
(Arthur Miller)
Write your abstract
here.
Miller's "All My Sons" derides the myopic worldview
of
the
protagonist, whose avarice results in the death of
21
American pilots during the Second World War. The
protagonist's justification is that it was all for
the
sake
of his family, especially his son. Ironically, his
son
himself points out that all those who died were
also
his
sons and walks on him. In a nutshell, the drama is
a
scathing burlesque of the inhuman competition
engendered by
capitalism. Despite being evidently propagandist,
the
drama
does entertain and may be enjoyed in one sitting.
All
the
characters have been given enough prominence. The
dramatist
manages to weave a subtle thread of romance into
the
fabric
of the work. The conflict between idealism and
capitalism,
humanity and business ethics and love for family
members
and love for the society are some of the
discernible
themes
in the work.
