David Henry Hwang’s “M. Butterfly”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the fact that Illusion and reality are the key ingredients in Chinese-American playwright David Henry Hwang’s “M. Butterfly” (1988) and those factors are what have had the greatest influence in terms of how his work has been interpreted by audiences seeing it performed or its film adaptation for which Hwang wrote the screenplay. The story itself is one that serves as a deconstruction of the illusions and realities of West versus East, hetero- versus homosexual realities, and what is “proper” and what is taboo.

Death of a Salesman.
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp). Death of a Salesman gives different insights and different meanings to the American dream of success and shows what can happen when the dream is false, distorted or unfulfilled. The American dream was in serious trouble for Willy Loman and his family because of his fervent pursuit of success, wealth and status. He believed in the myth that success was based on popularity, personality and personal attractiveness. "Be liked and you will never want." (p.33) and "Riding on a smile and a shoeshine," and ". . . personality always wins the day." (p. 65) are examples of those deceptions. Bbliography lists 3 sources. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Death of a Salesman/Pursuit of Happyness
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay that compares Arthur Miller’s play “Death of a Salesman” and the 2006 film “The Pursuit of Happyness” (directed by Gabriele Muccino for Columbia Pictures) present two very different portrayals of fatherhood. The protagonists for both works are salesman, both fathers, both down-and-out and desperate to succeed. But they are also extremely different, in that Miller’s Willy Loman has a false sense of values and no sense of his own identity, while the film’s protagonist, Chris Gardner displays a firm sense of values and also demonstrates that he knows his own potential and abilities. In both cases, how the men view themselves is a legacy that is transmitted to their sons. Bibliography lists 1 source.
