All My Sons

Part 1:



In act one of 'All my sons', we are introduced to the main cast. My first interpretation of Joe Keller is that he is a tired old but fun humourus old man. He seems to get on well with everybody especially the kids such as Bert.


Kate Keller seems to hold quite a sympathetic aura around her. She is still in denial that her son, Larry died in the war. It is unbeknown to the reader as to why she is so against the fact that her son has died even though the rest of the cast have excepted his death.


Chris, Kate and Joe's other son, seems to be quite a down to earth guy. He thinks logically and although I expect he loved his brother very much, he knows that his brother would not want him or his previous girlfriend Anne, to go on living miserably when they could have each other in bliss. He finds it hard to get on with his parents because they are so 'practical'.



Anne seems to be quite a misunderstood character. She is stuck between the decision of grieving over her lost love or moving on with the man she loves which coincidently happens to be Larry's brother Chris.
