What does this mean The world is an oyster but you dont crack it open on a mattress?
Oysters can sometimes have a pearl inside which is worth some money. Therefore, this pearl represents success and the mattress represents the way you get to success. You can't open a oyster on a mattress because it is too soft, so that means that you have to work hard in order to be successful. I think that's what Arthur Miller meant by that quote.
