DESCRIPTION:
"In Arthur Miller's plays we find the true compassion and catharsis that are as essential to our society as water and fire and babies and air. Miller awakened in me the taste for all that must be-the empathy and love for the least of us, out of which bursts a gratitude for the poetry of his characters and the greatness of their creator." -Philip Seymour Hoffman, from the Foreword
Lounge Lizard said Interestingly modern issue -- Spoiler Alert. Sort of SPOILER ALERT.Boy, talk about timely. I did not intend to read this due to current politics; was just a coincidence. Miller's works are true to imaginative real-life scenarios. For instance, in 'The Crucible' -- who am I to argue that he did not get facts and social mores correct as to that era centuries ago. This work, however is more recent, takes place during his lifetime and could actually take place yesterday or today. Both the main issue/conflict and an ancillary issue/conflict . "Worth re-discovering." according to Lynnette. I was surprised that I had not read this book 100 years ago when I was in high school, perhaps I did but obviously for a class and nothing more. The play portrays a character that is very real today in terms of the political divisions and debates in the country: struggling white male blue-collar worker, immigration, and loss of hope in the "way of doing things the way we always have." Short buy very enjoyable read.. doug said I read the book early in my college years.. I read the book early in my college years. I recently read it again and did not feel moved by it.
