This paper discusses Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. In Death of a Salesman, Miller describes Loman's house as being a "...small, fragile-seeming home", and that, "An air of the dream clings to the place, a dream rising out of reality". The "dream", being the American dream of success, wealth and security. The "dream", also represents Willy's fading dreams of a better life, and regretful past. He lives in a fantasy world where the future is still wide open, although his time has passed him by. Miller recommends the design of the setting to be, "wholly, or, in some places, partially transparent", with a one-dimensional roofline.

1717.413 Women in Literature.
This paper discusses the role of women in literature. By the Modernist period, the roles of women, in works of literature, as well as in life, were changing. Whereas in Romantic or Victorian literature the female characters had mainly served as background players or love interests, they were now being portrayed as complete human beings with thoughts and agendas beyond those of the dutiful wife or fair maiden. As a result of this female empowerment, the men in modernist literature found their roles changing as well. This metamorphosis is played out in Henrik Ibsen's, "A Doll's House", in which the character of Nora Helmer spends the first two acts doing her best to keep up appearances as the ever respectful wife, but by the end of the play, has had her modernist "moment of epiphany" and claims her independence, while her husband is left with the children and his head in his hands.

1718.464 The Lottery.
This paper discusses Shirley Jackson's short story, "The Lottery", begins almost immediately when in the second paragraph Bobby Martin fills his pockets with the "smoothest and roundest stones" (292). Children often collect stones, but the fervor with which the children do so here leaves the reader pondering their purpose. Such is the nature of foreshadowing: to hint at or suggest a forthcoming event. The reader gets the strong sense that the stones will come into play, but at this point has little idea how.

1720.498 The Search for Meaning.
This paper discusses the search for meaning. The following pages will detail three examples of this existential search that is so prevalent in literature. A search that the characters themselves are not aware of. Arthur Landau in Chayefsky's The Tenth Man, Gregor Samsa in Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis and the boy in James Joyce's Araby, all share a common bond - they all seek a purpose in life that, heretofore, has eluded them.
