ARTHUR MILLER IS THE GREATEST DRAMATIST NOT TO HAVE GOT THE NOBEL PRIZE FOR LITERATURE!RARELY A PLAYWRIGHT EVER HAVE HAD SUCH A COMMAND ON THE TRAGEDY OF COMMON MAN IN MODERN TIMES!
TODAY(17 October) IS MILLER'S BIRTHDAY!
ARTHUR MILLER Is One Of The Most Powerful Voices In The Post-War World of Theater,Who Penned Dramas Out Of Sheer Passion !
He Was Kind of An Activist Writer Who Had Never Hesitated In Raising His Voice And Standing Up Against The Injustices Practised In Myriad Forms And On Many Levels !
His Protesting Voice Against The Infamous McCarthyism Propagated Through The Paranoid Congressional Committee Named The UnAmerican Activities Formed For Hunting And Harassing The Supposedly Sympathisers Of Communists, Was Really An Act Of Courage Plus Conviction For Upholding Human Dignity And Individual Liberty !
Though ,he had to pay price for afew months after being charged by the congressional committee,yet,he never bowed down before the hawks of Joseph McCarthy !
Arthur Miller Wrote Social Tragedies - kind of common man's loss and despair ,anxiety and atonement . . .!
Fighting For The Regain Of Human Dignity And The Sense Of Responsibility Of An Individual Vis-a-Vis Society Plus World At Large ,Are Central To His Writing.
'ALL MY SONS' , 'DEATH OF A SALESMAN' , 'THE CRUCIBLE'. . . .to name a few, Are Treasures To The History Of Modern Drama .
IT'S RATHER SAD THAT HE WAS NOT GIVEN A NOBEL !!
His Relevance Is All The More Pressing In Our Times !
Happy Birthday,Arthur Miller !
