In the play All My Sons most of the characters in the play decide that family needs come before the needs of the society. Many of the characters take risks just to get their families ahead. Joe Keller wen as far as sending cracked plane parts to the military. This caused 21 deaths and his partner in the business was accused of murder so was joe but of course he got away with it by lying and getting his wife to go along with his lies. This business made him alot of money, but many people got hurt while he was making his fortune.
I think its wrong to hurt so many people just to get ahead and make money, but in some ways what Joe did was right because he did it to help his family and give them what they want. This in a way is very noble. But all the people that died because of Joe's need for money is terrible so many deaths could of been prevented if joe had just put others ahead of his own needs. If he had considered the soldiers safty over his need for money no one would of died because of defective planes, and Joe could of started over and not have so many deaths on his chest.
