Comparing the American Dream in Miller's Death of a Salesman and Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun

It is a dreamer's country to compare the destructive American dream of Miller's "death of salesman" with the Hansbury's "raisins in the sun". From the Spanish conquerors looking for gold and eternal youth, Amerigo Vespucci has always had a mystery on the land named after him. For Puritans settled in the northeast it was the home of their "Winthrop 2". They called to their hometown New England to express a new beginning hope.

Lorraine · Hans Berry's "San Raisin" American Dream Lorraine · Hans Berry's "San Raisins" lives in "American Dream". Handsbury wrote his own story in 1959. The "American dream" she said is quite different from the existing "American dream". In 1959, my dream was to work hard and to live a comfortable life. Americans believe that you can have a good life as long as you have a family and are eating at the table. Let's fast forward in 2003. "American dream" will have 2 cars, attractive house, pool, 40 hours a week, and plenty of "things".

One of the most important themes of Lorraine Hansberry's "raisin in the day" and Lorraine Hansberry's "San Rasen" is the American dream. Many of the characters in this play have hope and ambition; they all seek to achieve their goals through the game. However, many of the characters in the drama have different dreams contradictory to each other. For example, there seems to be problems when the dreams of various people confront, such as Walter and Bennie, George and Asagai, Clybourne Park and Younger.

Miller salesman's death and raisins under the sun presented "Family efforts and frustration pursuing American dreams" (Curtain 115). Everyone's dream is totally different. Walter, raisin's hero under the sun is another Willie who is striving to achieve his version of the American dream. In their attempt to realize their dream, Willy and Walter have shown that they are in common in some sense. According to a social survey by Alister Bull, "While the United States can still regard it as a place of opportunity, the possibility of living in poverty is much lower than the rest of the world" (BBS). America's dream is just an illusion. This is an illusion of the future opportunity.
