Willie Loman is an ordinary man who embodies traditional American values ​​of success. He has reached the age where he can no longer compete successfully in his chosen career, that of a traveling salesman. Faced with the end of his job, he begins to examine his past life to determine its value. At this critical juncture in Willie's existence, his eldest son, Biff, has returned home for a visit, and Willie's old desire for his son to be traditionally successful in life is rekindled. But old tensions between the two men are also renewed. Once again, much to Willie's disappointment, his son rejects Willie's values ​​and aspirations. (“Death of a Salesman, drama by Arthur Miller, 1949”) The “American Dream” is “the belief that through the pioneering virtues of hard work, perseverance, ingenuity, and courage, one can find happiness through wealth” (“Death of a Salesman”). It is the center of our lives as Americans; we all want to achieve this in one way or another. Harold Clurman believes that the concept of the American dream presented in the play Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller is divided into two meanings: ; the historical dream and the dream of commercial success. In our society, the greatest achievement is when you buy your own house and live with a stable job. It doesn't have to be a well-paying job but one that allows you to pay your bills and live a decent life, if you have it. then you have realized the historical dream. On the other hand, if you have a well-paid job in the corporate world; which means a white collar job, and even if you own a house or not, but you earn more than enough for your living expenses, this is considered the dream of business success.
