Abstract
This paper explores Arthur Miller and his play "All My Sons" in the context of Miller's background, his intentions for the play and the time in which the play was created.

There is an emphasis on the historical, political, social and cultural influences that had an impact on Miller. The second part of this paper explores the character of Joe in "All My Sons" in order to demonstrate how Miller emphasizes his background within Joe, as Joe is a character who is working to achieve the American Dream through conducting unscrupulous business deals.

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the topic of the "Sons of God". Specifically, it explores and argues that the "Sons of God" in Genesis 6 are human by using the following verses as background on the subject: Deuteronomy 9:18; Joshua 7:6; Psalm 112; Genesis 4:26; Numbers 13:33; and Job 1:6, 2:1.
From the Paper
"They were the Sons of God in that they had some of the mighty traits of their Father, but in the end, they still fell like any other human. In fact, earlier in Genesis, in 4:26, the writer notes that "men began to call upon the name of the Lord" ("Holy Bible" 3), thus, even before the Sons of God make an appearance, men have begun calling upon him, and calling him their Father. Numbers 13:33 refers again to this race of giants who later disappeared. "And there we saw the giants, the sons of Amak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight" ("Holy Bible" 123). This reference comes after the reference to the "Sons of God" in Genesis, but seems to refer to the same race of "larger than life" men that God sent to the world, then found to be weak and full of sin."

Abstract
This paper discusses the father-son conflict between the characters of Joe Keller and Chris Keller in "All My Sons," written by Arthur Miller. The paper shows how Miller uses this conflict to progress and refine his theme that men are responsible for their actions and their fellow brother's actions. It discusses the reasons for the conflict and what it comes to teach the reader.
From the Paper
"The conflict between the two characters, Joe Keller and Chris Keller, arises for two reasons. The first reason is that Joe Keller represents the old generation, in his realistic and practical thinking, as apposed to Chris Keller's romantic and idealistic way of thinking. Another reason for conflict is that Joe Keller puts his family before anything else and sticks to securing the father image and paternal responsibility at home. Joe is a survivalist and sees that the security of his family is the most important thing. Chris on the other hand believes that having a solid connection with the outside world beyond the individual family is more ideal way of life. Chris Keller is one who will sacrifice for the greater good of mankind. Joe Keller represents the people who stayed in America during the war and Chris represents the veterans of the war. Ultimately there is a generation gap at the basis of this conflict."

A Psychoanalytic Approach to "Sons and Lovers", 2008.

Abstract
This paper provides an overview of D.H. Lawrence's "Sons and Lovers" citing different psychoanalytic theories. The author explains that although there is a likeness between the life of D. H .Lawrence and the experiences of Paul Morel, the main character in the story, this essay examines Paul without commenting on any psychoanalytic symptoms regarding the creator.
From the Paper
"Critics like Alfred Kuttner have started a trend which study on the close relationship between Paul and his mother and interpret this within the Freudian Psychoanalysis as the Oedipal Complex. When examined trough the views of Freud, the mother-son relationship in "Sons and Lovers" is really the type of relationship which Freud names as "oedipal crisis" but it works differently in this novel. Naturally, the mother is the first love object for all boys. They want her attention and her love. Similarly, the two boys of Morels, Paul and his eldest brother William, see their mother as a divine creature and live as her worshippers. Paul imagines that he and his mother will live together when he is old enough to earn money by himself and when his father has died. Paul loves his mother so much that he wants to be with her and spend all of his time with her. To live with his mother by himself is his greatest desire. When Paul gets ill, he sleeps with his mother and for him this is more healing than the medicine.
"Paul loved to sleep with his mother. Sleep is still most perfect in spite of hygienists, when it is shared with a beloved. The warmth, the security and peace of soul, the utter comfort from the touch of the other, knits the sleep, so that it takes the body and soul completely in its healing.(Lawrence 67)
"The quotation above is important in that it shows how much Paul likes being with his mother. He feels secure and relaxed. Not only physically but also spiritually he feels himself healed.
"Of course, each of us loves our mothers too much and our mothers, less or more, are effective in our relationships with others, especially with women. In fact, loving mother too much or her dominance in the relations can not be assessed as an oedipal crisis. There should be a rival for the mother's affection; the father. The father is stronger and superior in many ways to the boy so at the beginning, they are jealous of their father and the father is seen as an enemy and is hated by the boys. Moreover, as Paul does, they sometimes wish him die."

Abstract
This paper attempts to assess the claim with reference to the novel "Fathers and Sons" that fundamental to the novel is a story in which a person comes into contact with things that are strange, foreign and monstrous. It begins with an assessment of the realistic nature of Turgenev's novel and the credibility of its characters and then analyses why - and how - the idea of Nihilism and Bazarov are strange, foreign and monstrous to the other characters of the novel.
From the Paper
"Likewise, the language used by the characters allows the reader "to see through into a world that he or she can accept as 'real'" (Hampton). Thus, the characters belonging to the aristocracy insert, in their Russian, French language terms, expressions and sentences quite naturally. This habit is imitated by people who do not belong to the aristocracy but who wished they did, with a very ironic - sometimes pathetic- result which, unfortunately, is completely missing from the English translation (but is faithfully reproduced in the Hebrew translation). For example, Bazarov's father, as Pavel Petrovitch remembers, was not a "military doctor" (Turgenev, 22), but a "medical orderly" (Turgenev [Hebrew] 25). Vassily Ivanovitch's real social origins show when he refers to his son as "Omfey" (Turgenev [Hebrew] 113, and not 'homme fait ' in the English translation 113) or when he present himself as a "retired army doctor" (both translations p. 166) only to finish his sentence with a "volatoo" (and not the correct "voila tout " as in the English translation).

Arthur Miller?s ?All My Sons?, 2004.
This paper discusses the concept of the American Dream as portrayed by the characters in Arthur Miller?s play, ?All My Sons? (1947).
1,555 words (approx. 6.2 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 51.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Arthur Miller, in his tragic play, ?All My Sons?, symbolizes through the lifestyle of the Keller family and their friends his view of the American Dream. The author points out that the concept of the American Dream is associated with the years following WWII, in which, through the movies such as ?Pleasantville?, the world created successful children, perfect families, and a happy stay-at-home mother, which, in the end, just as for the characters in this play, was impossible. The paper relates that writer Miller is the character Jim Bayliss, who, even though he has moral values, lives his life in sync with everyone else.
From the Paper
"Once the truth comes out and everyone begins to argue (Miller 58-59), the only way that Joe feels he can free Chris and the others from guilt and pain, so that they can live and continue their attempt to become successful, is to kill himself. Throughout his life, he never learned that true success is measured in who we become rather than what materialistic item we have. If he learned how to love and respect himself and his family, he could have achieved the happiness he never found. His intentions were good, but his dream for the American dream was wrong, and suicide (Miller 69) was his way of fixing the burdens he caused. Joe?s longing to become socially accepted eclipsed his ability to distinguish right from wrong, and that is what leads him to his dishonest and selfish choices. Joe Keller believed that he had to sacrifice everything, to give his family the kind of life Americans can only dream."

Abstract
This paper looks at how Arthur Miller's play, "All My Sons", condemns the the traditional values of the American Dream.
From the Paper
"In the play All My Sons, playwright Arthur Miller examines those hopes and values through the story of the Keller family. Miller uses the Kellers to show that the Dream and all of the values associated with it are hypocritical; it is a hypocritical philosophy that has given Americans false expectations and ideals. An examination of All My Sons shows how the traditional American Dream is based on vain and empty ideals that serve only a few Americans. "

Lawrence?s ?Sons and Lovers? and Joyce?s ?Dubliners?, 2004.

Abstract
This paper explains that both ?Sons and Lovers? and ?Dubliners?, significant literary works in their own right, challenged social mores by including discussions of sexuality in their stories. The author points out that these books, which are among the early accounts of the social effects of industrialization, presented a realistic depiction of the social conditions of the poor and working class. This paper argues that these literary works broke from romantic and often contrived fiction, which was popular in the 19th century, ushering in the dawn of a more realistic writing style.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"To deal with this unspoken and incestuous tension, Paul Morel employs another Freudian concept -- transference. The recipients of Paul?s romantic and sexual attentions are Miriam the chaste neighbor and Clara, the sensual older woman. Even in these relationships, the presence of his mother looms large. Paul wants a woman to forcefully claim him, a task that the wallflower-like Miriam fails to fulfill. Clara, the older woman, is clearly a maternal substitute for Gertrude Morel. However, Clara?s husband cuts short any progress this relationship could make."
