Presentation of kate in all my

In the play All My Sons by Arthur Miller, Kate Keller – Joe’s wife, and Chris’ as well as Larry’s mother – shows the audience that, at the end of the day, she is still mainly concerned about her own family instead of about paying the rightful tribute to the wider world. Kate opens up her true nature to the audience, just as Joe does.

Her mind is too congested to squeeze any more reason into it, and perhaps a reason for this mentality is that she has been trying too hard for too long to stop the light of reason and morality from entering. In this play, one of the most redeeming lights is Ann.

Aspects in which divides these two, Kate has a strong relationship with George whereas Ann sees him as an outsider. George’s behaviour once he arrives into “The Keller’s” household, Ann wants him to leave, because of her views on him as an outsider. Moreover, the past and the future divide’s both Kate and Ann.

Kate opens up her true nature to the audience, just as Joe does. Subsequently, and despite such revelations, the audience does not completely sympathize with her or her set of values. During the play’s action, Kate tries to undermine the one character she thinks weakest – Ann. Whenever Ann tries to talk some sense into Kate, she refuses to listen.
