Paper Summary:

This paper discusses Pulitzer Prize Winner, Arthur Miller's writings about the strength of familial relationships and their effects on the temperament of people and links them to his own experiences of destitution which his own family struggled through. The paper also shows how Arthur Miller reflects upon the ideas of failure in a society focused on achievement and shares his insight on the emotional pain left for people to face when they don't live up to the American Dream of success and happiness.

From the Paper:

"In life there are many diminutive pieces of one's existence that collaborate to form something more important, something that is practical, something that is greater than the sum of its individual sections. In society that something is the family. It is a member of the jigsaw puzzle that the bigger picture, the social order is made up of (Family, par 4). These families have been influenced by society to strive toward the ideal image set for them, but have any of them thought of who actually came up with this ideal? More often that not the answer is no, but to them it does not matter. Because it is not the goal that most families seek, but rather it's the search for values. It is a search to find their place among the puzzle, a puzzle that has many gaps that very few people actually coincide with. It may appear that most people would not find a place for themselves and their loved ones among such a chaotic mixture, but the key to this puzzle is children (Research Issues, par 1). Once two people bring life into the world, the way they look upon other things is totally changed. Their ranking of importance gets shifted severally. As a result, it can be inferred that children are a product of their parent's quest for values and that they are the link to their understanding."
