From reading other posts and questions, I found it interesting that even within one family the American Dream can have many interpretations. Happy and Biff seem to think that a person attempting to achieve the American Dream works hard with little profit, even if it is what hey have always wished for. Willy on the other hand seems to think that the American Dream is the only means for satisfaction and that material objects will bring ultimate joy. Willy views the American Dream as being a goal for him to constantly be working towards, while his sons seem to think they have lived the Dream over and over again, achieved what they wanted, yet still feel empty and lonely.
