Arthur Asher Miller (1915-2005) is one of the most prominent twentieth-century dramatists after World War II. His theater is seen as one of the most fruitful, and it is vastly illustrative due to its diverse social ethics.
So, his name is echoed with the most distinguished American playwrights: Eugene O'Neil and Tennessee Williams to be the triumvirate of American Theater. He devotes almost seven decades of his own life striving to enrich and mark the American literature identity. One can observe in his drama various themes and symbols which, in fact, mirror the intensity of his dramatic creativity that characterizes the American society in an obvious manner. Two of the most recurrent themes in Miller's drama are the American family and Dream. People by innate want to achieve their opulence indifferently by means which cannot be disconnected from the dogma of the American household. Thus, since launching his artistry, he has been away from being purely 'social' which may stem from the 'problem plays' that may show a kind of tedious style. For being away of that, he makes a fusion of public and private clashes to be the supreme interesting objectives that meet with the (Bloom,2005: 117-118 cravings of American character)
In this respect, Miller states: I can hear already my critics complaining that I am asking for are turn to what they call problem plays. That criticism is important only because it tells something important about the critic. It means that he can only conceive of man as a private entity, and his social relations as something thrown at him, something ‘affecting’ him only when he is conscious of society.

However long there has been connecting between individuals, there has been untruthfulness. Everyone falsehoods, and there are however many purposes behind the lie as there are individuals articulating lies. Individuals can deceive save somebody's inclination or to cause them to feel awful.

His need to cover reality to maintain a strategic distance from the truth is the thing that drives the demise of man, including himself. Lies will in general be isolated into two gatherings: little, harmless embellishments and enormous, ruinous untruths. With the previous, they will in general be to save somebody's sentiments in a specific circumstance, yet this play likewise shows that an innocent exaggeration can turn ruinous. In 'Every one of My Sons', the patriarch Joe Keller and his child, Chris, have a discussion with respect to the way that they are taking care of into Kate, the mother's, fancies that Larry is as yet alive.
