The American Dream: Arthur Miller and Thornton Wilder
What do we mean by the American Dream? Has the concept changed from its historical ideas to 21st century ones, and what does that imply about our contemporary lives? In Arthur Miller's
All My Sons
and Thornton Wilder's
Our Town
, we explore conflicting views about what that iconic phrase means to us now. We will read, analyze, and discuss the motifs in the plays, the dramatists' perspectives, and how they may or may not resonate with our own reactions.
