All my sons’ is one of the best plays by American playwright Arthur Miller. It was his first commercial successful play. His plays basically express moral, social, and political ideas.

All my sons’ very significant and attractive title, it directly appeals the curiosity of the reader. The title is very appropriate. The play is divided in to three acts. The play falls under the genre of modern tragedy.
