Larry’s letter is instrumental in forcing Keller to realize his guilt. Discuss.

All My Sons is a well constructed and realistic play. It is conventional realism. Ibsenite only in that Miller - as lbsen so often does - starts in the middle of things and spends most of the play uncovering the facts of the past so that the audience can see the last act consequences in the present.’ (Daniel Hoffman Harvard Guide to American Drama Gerald Wales 1979 (OUP). The work of Ibsen influenced All My Sons structurally as well, for Ibsen had liberally applied the principle of Greek Theatre that stresses the influence of the past on the present. The play is carefully constructed and  well knit. It follows the pattern in which there is an appropriate link between previous actions and present consequences. Miller skillfully observes all the three dramatic unities of time, place and action mentioned by Aristotle in his Poetics.

The unity of time limits the action to take place in roughly a single day; unity of place limits it to one general location and the unity of action limits it to a single set of incidents which are related as cause and effect, having a beginning, middle and an end. The play does not cross the time limit of twenty-four hours; thus the unity of time is observed by Miller. The play maintains the unity of place with the entire action taking place in the Keller home in the American town of Detroit. The unity of place and action is also observed in the play. The action happens in the backyard of the Keller household. This unity owes a great deal to the conduct of a single character, Joe Keller. The setting of All My Sons is designed to suit Keller’s ‘myopic world view’ of not thinking beyond his family interests. (‘All My Sons’ Steven R.
