myopic worldview of the life that Keller sees himself as answerable only to himself and his family, not to society as a whole. It is also refers to his past misdeeds and
Keller’s self define as an uneducated man, taking pride in his commercial success without traditional book learning. Also how a capitalist system and materialism that
encourage individuals to value their business sense over their moral sense. Joe Keller’s blame attitude He tries to blame anyone and everyone for crimes during the

life and his family. These three aspect are confined to the way of thinking which believes that by
the myopic perspective on his world stem a devotion to his family and his claim that there is nothing greater than the family and his self define and past misdeed .these
aspects are related to Joe Keller’s Downfall which is then formulated as the scope of the analysis .
