Arthur Miller sought to change American drama into a forum for serious discussion of social and psychological issues facing ordinary Americans. Born in 1915 to Jewish immigrants affected by the Great Depression, Miller drew from his own experiences of hardship and anti-Semitism to create plays like Death of a Salesman and The Crucible that examined the struggles of the working class to understand forces outside their control. Miller's plays, informed by his difficult life experiences with the Depression, World War II, and McCarthyism, resonated with audiences by addressing serious moral questions about individual and social responsibility.
This document provides an overview of a thesis proposal that will analyze Arthur Miller's play Death of a Salesman and the downfall of the main character, Willy Loman. The proposal outlines that the play will be examined through the lens of Willy Loman's misunderstanding of the American Dream. The objectives are to investigate how Willy's view of the American Dream led to his downfall by comparing his actions and beliefs to the true meaning of the Dream. A literature review is presented analyzing sources that discuss the American Dream concept in society at that time. The methodology will use a new historicist approach to analyze Willy's character development within the social context of the play.

This document provides an in-depth analysis of the 1940 film "The Great Dictator" directed by Charlie Chaplin. It examines the film's narrative structure and visual themes, particularly through the lens of the final speech scene. The analysis explores how the film uses satire and comedy to criticize the fascist ideologies of Hitler and Mussolini during the time period it was made, while also delivering an important message about social hierarchy and totalitarianism that remains relevant today. Key aspects discussed include the film's parody of real fascist leaders through Chaplin's dual roles, its use of slapstick humor and irony to comment on the rise of fascism in Europe, and how scenes reflected the class system and power dynamics of Nazi Germany.
Political cartoons aim to make a political point through humor or serious imagery. The first known American political cartoon, "Join, or Die" from 1754, depicted a segmented snake and called for unity among the colonies against threats. Political cartoons grew with lithography in the 1820s, spreading ideas through inexpensive prints. Thomas Nast was a influential 19th century cartoonist who helped elect Lincoln and took down the corrupt Tweed Ring through cartoons in Harper's Weekly. In the 20th century, cartoonists like Herblock attacked McCarthyism, though TV and internet have reduced cartoons' societal influence today.
