Abstract

This paper presents a marxist psychoanalytic critiqueof the American dream with special reference to Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and Aurther Miller’s Death of a Salesman. This paper is inspired from Sarah Marie Horning’s analysis. The close contest between spiritual happiness and material wealth as analysed by various critics, it becomes important to understand the cyclical nature of the American Dream. The desire for wealth and social mobility, an essential part of the Dream, has been a constant driving force in American political culture.
