B Arthur Miller ( 1915 - 2005 ) is universally recognised as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century. Miller’s father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary, drawn like so many others by the “Great American Dream”. However,he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s. ?? Millers most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system, with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman,the hero of the play,we see a man who has got into trouble with his worth.
