    The type of conflict supports the story by showing a man who is against the world and trying to build a life while also trying to not forget his roots.

The last words the protagonist says are “I know how all of my dreams end anyway.” This shows that even though the protagonist now has a better job and he seems to be on the right track, he feels as if he’s not where he’s supposed to…

Zangwill wrote the play in the early nineteen hundreds when immigration to the Americas was sufficiently increasing. Many Americans were against the idea of so many different people entering ‘their’ country; while immigrants saw the Americas as a place to which they had spent their whole lives coming. In The Melting Pot, immigration causes a rift in those residing in America.…
