Hello readers,
This blog is a part of my thinking activity in which we have to write what we understand. So in this blog, I wants to tell something about one of the best Play All My Sons which is written by Arthur Miller.

All My Sons :
The play deals with moral responsibility and based upon a true story. The play divided into three main Act.
"Act one: An early Sunday morning in August
Act two: The same evening, as twilight falls
Act three: Two o'clock the following morning"
In the play, there were many characters. Joe Kaller is the protagonist character of the play. He is a rich person who loved his family. His wife name is Kate Keller. Joe Kaller is Manufacturing plant with Steve Deever. If we read the play, we come to know that this is the story about close families, Joe Kaller and Steve Deever. Steve's Daughter Ann was Larry's girl. During the war, Keller's Manufacturing plant had a profitable contract with the U.S army. Without thinking anything, Keller accepted this contract. One morning, shipment is looking defective parts and Steve called Kaller about this but he told to weld the cracks in the aeroplane parts and ship them out. So Steve shipped out the defective aeroplane parts. This is a dangerous part of the play. As we know that when you do something wrong, you can not live happily. So Keller's crime was to allow cracked cylinder heads for P40s to be delivered to the air force and resulting in the deaths of 21 pilots.
His one of the best partner, Steve Deever was blamed for selling the faulty parts knowingly because Keller told that he never informed me about that. Steve and Joe were arrested, but Joe got out of it by lying and was exonerated. Steve is languishing in prison.
Steve’s son, George Bayliss, is a lawyer. Joe’s son Chris is rich on his father’s money. Chris is a good son who loved his family. The play centres around Joe and his wife Kate. Kate cannot accept that their son Larry, who went Missing In Action three years earlier is no more, he is dead. Larry’s fiance is Steve Cheever’s daughter, Ann. Ann has been corresponding with the other brother Chris and is visiting for the first time since her father was imprisoned two years earlier. Chris and Ann plan to marry, but Kate will not accept this because it means admitting that Larry is dead.
In Act 3, Ann has known that Larry was dead. When he heard about his father's crime, he committed suicide in his warplane. So he wrote a letter to Ann about this and not to wait for him. Larry's mother still believes that he will come back. Ann’s brother George has gone to meet his father Steve Deever in jail and he comes to know that his father is innocent and George talked about this to Chris and finally, Kate has accepted that his husband is responsible for a plane crash, and Joe Keller’s guilt has proved it too. Chris has a belief that his father is not guilty but now he was also aware of this reality After shown the letter of Larry which he has given to Ann before he went for the mission. Chris says that
"Dad, you killed 20-1 man"
In the last Joe was feeling guilty because of him Larry has committed suicide. and he also says that
"I am criminal in Larry's eyes"
He understood that all the dead pilots were his sons. He decided to surrender and went in his room to take his coat, but the sound of a gunshot is heard and Joe killed himself.
So, the play's central event is a business man's evasion of responsibility for a decision in wartime which led to the loss of twenty - one life. In the play, family relation is predominant. To Keller 'Nothing' s bigger than the family'. Family is everything to him.
