Abstract:
The play primly deals with corrupted impact of avarice in the principal character of Joe Keller, who is completely motivated by a desire for monetary accumulation. The study reveals the collapse of social responsibility, business collaborations and moral accountability due to the monetary avarice of Joe Keller. The study aims to explore the outcome of Joe Keller’s monetary greediness up to the extreme extent of his suicide being failed to bear up criticisms of the family, social and moral pressure. The study is based on the qualitative research to analyze the circumstances, conversations and scenes that move around the principal character Joe Keller, who helplessly tries to defend the consequence of shipping the faulty parts as the right deed in the war but declines to get supports from Chris. The research selects the appropriate sources of information mainly from this play and secondarily collects from journals, theses and books. This research is meant to enable the readers to identify that extreme penchant for the monetary accumulation creates a gloomy circle; all achievement of affluence turns out vain and begins to lose his social direction in life and ultimately, he has no other way except ceasing own life.
