    Arthur Miller was an American playwright born in 1915 who won numerous awards including the Pulitzer Prize. His play All My Sons takes place after World War II and focuses on the Keller family. Joe Keller, the father, sold faulty airplane parts during the war that led to 21 deaths, though he framed his business partner and pretended to be innocent. When Joe's son announces he will marry the daughter of Joe's business partner, it forces Joe to revisit the lie he has been hiding for years about his culpability in the plane part failures. The play illustrates how Joe was always focused on his own success and that of his family, but in doing so his version of the American Dream went unfulfilled.

    War II. Joe Keller, the father, committed a terrible act: he sold
    faulty airplane parts that caused 21 deaths during WWII. Keller
    framed his business partner for the crime and faked his
    innocence. When Joe’s son announces that he is going to marry
    the daughter of Joe’s business partner, the lie Joe has been hiding
    for years is revisited. Joe Keller was always working for the
    success of himself and his family, but this play illustrates an
    unfulfilled American Dream.
