Glass Meangerie – Death Of Salesman – Raising In Sun Essay, Research Paper

In the stories, іThe Glass MenagerieІ, іDeath of A SalesmanІ,

and іRaisin in the SunІ, there are many things in common. The most

common thing in all of them I felt was how all the families all had іAmericanІ

problems. In іThe Glass MenagerieІ, the іAmericanІ

problem was a family dealing with an ill member. It also dealt with a mother who

was delusional and not the nicest person. In іDeath of a SalesmanІ

the main іAmericanІ problem was alcohol. Alcoholism is something

that affects most families. IN this play the family was also struggling to keep

up with things which is something most of us face in life. Adultery also took

place in this play which takes place unfortunately in some families in America.

іRaisin in the SunІ as old as it might be, dealt with the prejudice

that is every where even in today№s world. American№s are constantly

dealing with criticism for being the wrong color, overweight, or even in some

cases the wrong religion. The other іAmericanІ problem№s were

the father drinking and the issue of abortion. Abortion is something that has

taken place more in society every day. All these families despite there problems

had a genuine thing in common. That thing was wanting their families to be

better. In ЊThe Glass MenagerieІ, all the mother wanted was for her

daughter to have someone to take care of her which was important to her. IN

іDeath of a SalesmanІ, Willy only wanted the best for his family. He

struggled in his job and was always upset when he couldn№t reach his goal

of buying something for his family. He wanted to better his career for his

family. In іRaisin in the SunІ, the main character Beneatha№s

(head of the house) son wanted to for fill his dreams in order to create a

better life for his family. He was frustrated when he realized that he might not

even be able to put pearls around his wife№s neck іlike every wife

should haveІ, according to him.
