Meaning Among Survivors Of Domestic Violence by Virginia Lee Cronin, Syracuse University, the author explains that throughout American history women have held secondary positions to men and during the postwar years women were abused by their husbands. The police did not interfere in this violence because society saw domestic abuse as a private matter for the family, that the husband should be left to do what he has fit in his own home. In the start of the book (from pages 0-32), Willy is aggressive with his wife as she tries her best to please him. When he yells at her she offers him a sandwich. Later in the book while the family gathers around the table to talk Willy disallows his wife to speak and when he storms out of the room she believes that it is her fault that he is upset and looks to apologize to him. Arthur Miller wants to portray the type of relationship that 1940s families had. That women are treated as inferior beings. 

During the postwar years, for in the cities the American dream was to have a nice job, make good money and support your family. Willy feels that he has the intense duty of taking care of his family and providing for them. In the start of the play when he comes home he is angry with his sons for not living in the house that he has worked so hard to have for them. During the 1940s-50s housing, though accessible for white veterans, was still unobtainable for the majority of other families. Because Willys need to be the provider of the family he deals with an internal conflict of fantasizing the truth. Willy sees himself as a great business man who has traveled all over the east coast. He tells his sons that if he goes to a town up in Maine the policemen will care for his care like it was their own. Willy exaggerates things in his mind. He believes that he is more successful and well liked than he actually is. Willy wants his American dream so bad that he has created delusions in his mind to cope with the fact that he does not have it.
