《推销员之死》全面地展示了“美国梦”的辉煌与幻灭,是“美国梦”的美好与破灭过程的真实写照.所谓“美国梦”,是指美国所宣传的赖以立国的民主、平等、自由的理想,即美国宪法和独立宣言所承诺的给予所有的人以生存、自由和追求幸福的不可剥夺的权利.传统意义上的“美国梦”是自由和平等的象征,聪明、勤奋与坚忍不拔是实现“美国梦”的必要条件.威利的父兄就是那种富兰克林式的英雄,他们远离城市,像早期的西部英雄一样,开疆拓土,到旷野中寻求和实现自己的梦想.父亲在悠扬的笛声中,以一种粗犷的豪情带领全家流浪,这在威利的脑海中形成了永恒的浪漫定格,兄长本更是以传奇的经历和财富证明了“美国梦”的可能.但进入后工业社会后,“美国梦”渐渐异化为商业成功的标志,为了追求在所谓竞争借口掩饰下的成功,所有的活动都转化为单纯的买卖活动,为了实现所谓的“美国梦”,人们出卖一切,满足人类生活基本需要的交易活动变成了单纯追求商业利润的竞争,人们放弃了理想追求,占有物质财富变成了成功的唯一标准.人与物、人性与金钱的冲突空前激烈,传统的伦理秩序已经失效,金钱成了衡量人类生活的尺度,社会需要的已经不是勤奋、理想、人格和尊严,而是财富的数字显示.正如奥尼尔所指出的:“我们大谈特谈美国梦,并向全世界宣扬我们的美国梦,但是就大多数人而言,这场梦难道不就是一场追求物质财富的梦吗?”(鲍恩406)
当代美国社会中所奉行的商业伦理价值观念实际上就是丛林法则,它的典型特征是弱肉强食、惟利是图、尔虞我诈、不择手段.丛林法则视金钱为上帝,以奸诈与投机为手段,以毁灭对方和赚取最大利润为最高价值目标,不讲诚信,不讲道德.《推销员之死》反映的正是在商业大潮的滚滚洪流中美国社会生活的现实,传统伦理道德与现代社会丛林法则的冲突在威利身上得到了集中体现.从威利的失败可以看出,他的悲剧主要源于价值观念的错位和价值追求的偏执.他自幼受教于“美国梦”,羡慕父兄的勤劳致富和有尊严的人格与生活.可悲的是他选择留在高楼林立的都市实现自己的“美国梦”,虽然梦想并未真正实现,却大谈“成功经”,根本不理解“美国梦”的伦理内涵,也不了解真实的自己.他一腔热血,志向远大,希望用善良赢得财富,用好人缘换来金钱.实际上,他根本不懂得现代丛林法则的残酷,在本质上并不是一个奸诈的商人,因此他缺乏奸诈的智慧和投机本领,最后犹如羔羊误人丛林,无所适从,无路可走,最终毁灭了自己.
"Death of a Salesman" comprehensive display of the "American dream" of glory and disillusionment, is a true portrayal of the "American Dream," the beautiful and bursting process. The so-called "American Dream", refers to democracy, equality, the ideal of freedom on which the United States propaganda founding, the United States Constitution and the Declaration of Independence promised to give all people to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness inalienable rights. "American Dream" in the traditional sense is a symbol of freedom and equality, smart, hard work and perseverance is a necessary condition to achieve "the American Dream". Willie's father and brother Franklin is the kind of style heroes, they stay away from the city, like the early western hero, Kaijiangtuotu, to the wilderness to seek and achieve their dreams. Father melodious flute, and in a rough pride Rangers lead the family, which formed the eternal romantic fixed in Willy's mind, is the brother of the more legendary wealth of experience and proven "American dream" may . But after entering the post-industrial society, the "American Dream" a sign of success gradually alienated business, in order to succeed in the so-called competition under the pretext of disguise, all activities are transformed into pure trading activities, in order to achieve the so-called "American Dream" people sell everything, to meet the basic needs of human life into a simple trading activity competition pursuit of commercial profit, people abandoned the ideals, possession of material wealth becomes the sole criterion of success. And objects, conflict and money humanity unprecedented fierce, traditional ethical order has expired, money becomes the measure of human life, society needs is not hard, ideals, personality and dignity, but the digital display of wealth. As O'Neill pointed out: "? We talk of the American dream, and to the world to promote our American dream, but for most people, this is a dream Do not dream it's the pursuit of material wealth" (bowen 406)
     Commercial ethical values in contemporary American society is actually pursued law of the jungle, it is a typical characteristic of the jungle, mercenary, intrigues, unscrupulous. Law of the jungle as the money for God, treacherous and speculation as a means to destroy each other and maximize profits as the highest value targets, dishonesty, and morality. "Death of a Salesman" It reflects the reality of American life in the torrent commercial tide, the traditional ethics and conflict in modern society jungle Willie who has been embodied. From Willie failed, mainly due to the dislocation of his tragedy and value the pursuit of values paranoia. He taught since childhood "American Dream", the envy of the hard-working rich fathers and dignified personality and life. Sadly, he chose to stay in the city of skyscrapers realize their "American Dream", although not really realize the dream, but to talk about "success by the" do not understand the "American Dream" ethical connotations, do not understand the real yourself. He cavity blood, ambitious, hoping to win with good fortune, in exchange for money with good karma. In fact, he did not know the cruelty of modern law of the jungle, in essence, not a crooked businessman, so his lack of wisdom and speculative ability treacherous, like lambs last jungle wrong people, at a loss, no way out, and ultimately destroyed yourself.
