                   Culture makes people understand each other better. It reflects time and history with utmost detail. Every cultural identity is a true portrayal of the time that it reverberates. My dissertation is aimed to highlight the cultural changes and impact that can be seen as time moves on from the first half of the twentieth century to the post modern, sophisticated twenty first century. In order to bring forth the shift in time and culture, I have taken Arthur Miller’s ‘Death of a salesman’ and Lal Jose’s ‘Immanuel’.

                  The fundamental objective of my dissertation is to examine the cultural changes reflected in the twentieth century western society and that of the twenty first century Eastern society. To conclude with, I would also like to focus on the cultural barriers and borders that seperates the two diverse societies.
