Interesting anecdotes such as the one in "Rethinking the American Dream" by Kamp in Vanity Fair illustrate for the reader exactly the amount of opportunity presented to those in America. It is said best by Moss Hart who states "It [is] possible in this wonderful [country]. for any of its millions, to have a decent chance to scale the walls and achieve what they wished. Wealth, rank, or an imposing name [mean] nothing. The only credential [this country] asked [for] was the boldness to dream". The story of the playwright Moss Hart, though its original intention is to show the possibilities for the citizen to become whatever he/she, wants can be misinterpreted as though it is meant to boost the importance of money. This misinterpretation of the Dream is represented well in Death of a Salesman, especially by the delusional aging salesman, Willy, who seems hell-bent upon monetary success; in Willy's mind success and money correlate directly to one another and money is the only barometer of success. He correlates the two so much so that he makes himself a slave to money. This is often exemplified in the play as readers find Willy groaning about his mediocre wage or fussing about the how he is " always in a race with the junkyard!" and how "[companies] time those things. so that when you finally paid for them, they're used up" ( Miller 2141). Perhaps the best instance of Willy's opinion on success and money is in his constant referral of his brother Ben as he often says things like "Why didn't I go to Alaska with my brother Ben that time! Ben! That man was a genius,that man was success incarnate!" ( Miller 2125). Willy's feelings are revealed because he based his brothers success solely upon the fact that his Ben had made a lot of money. This, however, is only a minor example of the extent of his obsession with money. Willy is so focused on money that he takes his life in order to give Biff money to start a business.
