Look up The American Dream- a concept that's basically the same as masculinity.

American popular conceptions of idealized masculinity in the 50s are definitely intertwined with the American Dream, but I think it's a bit of a stretch to say they are the same thing.

Hence the word 'basically'. The American Dream is constructed on male values, is it not?

The question you're asking is quite simple to answer if you merely observe the character dynamic between Willie and his sons then you'll figure something out. However, you don't benefit from having what YOU should look for told to you by SOMEBODY else.
