Overall, I really enjoyed All My Sons. This may be controversial - in my class at least - but I thought that the tension and emotion in the play built up wonderfully, and the climax was very unexpected. I think that the play did a very good job focusing on the American Dream, and when you look into it deeper, there are many conflicts buried within the story.
Contrary to popular opinion, I don't think that the play was monotonous, and I enjoyed reading through it. Act III was the best in my opinion, because of all the surprises and twists that answer all the questions and tie up all lose ends the viewer/reader has been thinking about throughout. Personally, I had been wishy-washy over the issue of Larry's death, so the letter in the third act was one of the things that made it the best.
Well, there you go. My short/sloppy analysis/summary of All My Sons. Go see West Side Story, Thursday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.
