Title

''Exploring the Themes of Guilt and Responsibility in Arthur Miller's All My Sons''

Abstract

Abstract This paper delves into the complex themes of guilt and responsibility in Arthur Miller's seminal play All My Sons, a narrative that unfolds within the context of post-World War II America. At its core, the play examines the psychological ramifications of ethical dilemmas faced by the Keller family, particularly as they grapple with the consequences of Joe Keller’s actions during the war. The study highlights how individual choices and societal pressures shape the characters' sense of guilt and their understanding of responsibility, ultimately leading to devastating outcomes. Through a detailed character analysis, the paper explores Joe Keller's rationalization of his morally questionable decisions, emphasizing his denial and the psychological mechanisms that enable him to cope with his guilt. Chris Keller’s journey is also scrutinized, revealing his internal conflict between his loyalty to his father and his moral principles. Furthermore, the impact of Kate Keller’s denial of her son Larry’s death serves as a lens through which the destructive nature of unresolved guilt is examined. By employing psychological theories related to guilt and responsibility, this research aims to illuminate how Miller’s work reflects broader societal issues, such as the ethical responsibilities of individuals within a capitalist framework. The paper concludes by reflecting on the enduring relevance of these themes in contemporary society, underscoring the play’s powerful commentary on the human condition.
