Irony and Arthur Miller

What does Willy Loman think about the idea of ‘individual opportunity’? What does playwright Arthur Miller think? What evidence exposes each opinion?

Willy loman clearly thinks that there is individual opportunity, as a result he is always upset by his not achieving success. Because his counter de toquevillian belief that it is possible to succeed it is in his eyes that he has failed. As a very clear result when his sons fail he says “don’t blame me, don’t blame me”. Arther miller on the other hand, who did achieve success, being a famous playright and husband of Marilyn Monroe, did not believe in individual opportunity. As aresult of this people went as far as calling him a communist, which he probably was not. His plays are clearly depictions of his perception of life and times of this nation. As a result it is clear that he did not believe in individual opportunity. His oppurtunities as a fomous playwight were clearly more than those of a African American, woman, or person not from a wealthy family. This play clearly shows Arthur Millers perception that individual opportunity does not exist.
