Willy Loman's world is very much a capitalist world. The play puts front and center many defining elements and symbols of capitalism and the American dream.

In what ways is Willy Loman (and his family) a product of a system beyond his control? Discuss the various ideologies that structure his world. Use three secondary sources. One of your sources might be used to explain a specific concept related to Marxist criticism or economic theory; the other two sources should be specifically related to the play.
