RIP Arthur Miller

Post by BlueChair »

I used to look at a copy of Death Of A Salesman on the bookshelf and wonder if Arthur Miller was a relative of mine.

Obviously, a genius of American theatre, dead at 89. Aside from Death Of A Salesman, he also wrote The Crucible, another great, great play.

He kept busy till the end. I spent a lot of time with his writing in undergrad and I will always have a great deal of admiration for his enormous contributions to theatre. Rest in peace.

Only ever read Death Of A Salesman but that affected me deeply.

I wonder, do you think Marilyn Monroe ever read Death of a Salesman?

I have no point or hidden agenda, I just think it's an interesting question.

Of course, it's a play, so chances are she saw it. But reading the play let's the reader internalize it on another level. Do you think she ever actually tried to digest it emotionally?
