Psychological Disturbance of Willy Loman

This book covers Willy's illusions of materialistic success related to the myth of the American dream.This idea elevates the play to another dimension where American culture and politics play pivotal roles in the lives of the characters.The play indicates a system that values machines more than men.In an effort to achieve American dream, Willy Loam clings to past fables that elude him constantly.Willy is a perfect example of someone who feels betrayed because he can't achieve the financial goals society has set up for him.. In fact, The Inside of His Head was the first title conceived for the play because in Miller's own words "the inside of his head was a mass of contradictions."We catch glimpses of Willy's subconscious distraught with guilt, hope and regret. It is through these scenes that Miller allows us to see the internal turmoil of a mind that has not come out of adolescence and because of it, is unable to help his own sons to healthy maturity.
