''BETRAYAL IS THE ONLY TRUTH THAT STICKS !''
ARTHUR MILLER.
American Playwright Arthur Miller
Was Born This Day 17 October In
1915 In New York.
A Product of The Great Depression
Era, Arthur Miller , Through His
Plays, Kept Questioning The
Prevalent Mode of Captalist Society
And The Demeaning Features of
Modernity !
An Open Critic of The Anti-
Communist Wave of The United
States Government During The
Early Period of Cold War Era, Miller
Came Up With His Second Most
Popular Play, THE CRUCIBLE Wherein
He Drew An Analogy of Sorts
Between The Then Ongoing Anti-
Communist Policy Of The
Government That Saw A Repressive
Attitude Towards One n All Who
Were Sympathizing With
Communism n Its Votaries With
That Of A Witch Hunt In Salem In
Earlier Era!
The Play Saw Miller Gaining An
Instant Celebrity Status And Its
Consequential Persecution by The
Government. . .(Luckily Miller
Escaped The Punishment).
Master of Impressionism Plus
Realism, Miller Wrote His Most
Read , Critically Acclaimed And A
Must In College Syllabi Worldwide,
DEATH OF A SALESMAN.
The Play Is Technically Held As A
Model For Modern Realistic
Playwriting And A Fine Flagbearer
of The Tradition of Ibsen-often
held as the father of modern
drama!
A Poten Critic of The Myth of
American Dream, Miller Never Felt
Shy of Pointing Out The Hollowness
of This Dream And The Resultant
Collective Frustration Amongst The
Generations of 50s n 60s !
Married To The Hollywood Sex
Symbol, Marilyn Monroe, For 6yrs ,
Miller Had Had A Fondness For
Scriptwriting Too.After The End of
This Turbulent Relationship, Miller
Penned A Beautiful Play Titled
AFTER THE FALL !
Family Relationship Was a
Recurring Theme In His Plays.
ALL MY SONS and A VIEW FROM THE
BRIDGE are His Other Enduring
Plays.
Miller Remains A Powerful
Influence Even Today As His
Concerns Are As Relevant Today As
During His Time.
He Would Have Been 98 Today !
A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO
ARTHUR MILLER !
