All My Sons In the play All My Sons, as in Death of a Salesman, love is the basis of all the evil and tragic events that happen in the play. The play involves the Keller family, of which the two boys are grown men. One of the sons, Larry, went to war and was reported missing. The family never knew what happened to him.
