Biography
Early life
Miller was born on October 17, 1915, in Harlem, in the city of New York City, Manhattan, the second of three Augusta brothers (Barnett) and Isidore Miller. Miller is a Jew, and of Polish Jewish descent. Her father was born in Radomy? L Wielki, Galicia (then part of Austria-Hungary, now Polish), and his mother was a native New Yorker whose parents also came from the city. Isidore has a women's clothing manufacturing business that employs 400 people. He became a rich and respected person in society. The family, including his sister Joan Copeland, lives on West 110th Street in Manhattan, has a summer home in Far Rockaway, Queens, and employs a driver. In Wall Street Crash of 1929, the family lost almost everything and moved to Gravesend, Brooklyn. As a teenager, Miller sends bread every morning before school to help the family. After graduating in 1932 from Abraham Lincoln High School, he worked in some rough jobs to pay for his tuition.
At the University of Michigan, Miller first majored in journalism and worked for a student paper, the Michigan Daily. It was during this time that he wrote his first drama, No Villain . Miller shifted his majors to English, and then won the Avery Hopwood Award for No Villain. This award gave him his first recognition and took him to start considering that he can have a career as a playwright. Miller enrolled in a drama-writing seminar taught by influential Professor Kenneth Rowe, who instructed him in his early writings into scriptwriting; Rowe emphasizes how a drama is built to achieve the desired effect, or what Miller calls "game construction dynamics". Rowe provides realistic feedback along with much-needed encouragement, and becomes a lifelong friend. Miller retained a strong bond with his alma mater for the rest of his life, founded Arthur Miller Award in 1985 and Arthur Miller Award for Dramatic Writing in 1999, and lent his name to Arthur Miller Theater in 2000. In 1937, Miller wrote < in Dawn, who also received the Avery Hopwood Award. After graduating in 1938, he joined the Federal Theater Project, a New Deal agent established to provide work in the theater. He chose the theater project despite a more lucrative offer to work as a screenwriter for 20th Century Fox. However, Congress, concerned about the possibility of Communist infiltration, closed the project in 1939. Miller began working at Brooklyn Navy Yard while continuing to write radio dramas, some of which were broadcast on CBS.
Initial career
In 1940, Miller married Mary Grace Slattery. The couple had two children, Jane and Robert (born May 31, 1947). Miller was released from military service during World War II due to a high school football injury in his kneecap. In the same year, his first drama was produced; The Man Who Has All the Luck won the National Guild Theater Award. The drama was closed after four performances with disastrous reviews.
In 1947, Miller's All My Sons game, writing that began in 1941, was successful on Broadway (earning him his first Tony Award, for Best Writer) and his reputation as a playwright has been established.. Years later, in a 1994 interview with Ron Rifkin, Miller said that most contemporary critics consider All My Sons to be "a very sad game in a time of great optimism" and positive reviews from Brooks Atkinson about < i> The New York Times has saved him from failure.
In 1948, Miller built a small studio in Roxbury, Connecticut. There, in less than a day, he wrote Acts I of the Death of a Salesman. In six weeks, he finished the rest of the drama, one of the world's classic theaters. The Death of a Salesman was broadcasted on Broadway on February 10, 1949, at Morosco Theater, directed by Elia Kazan, and starring Lee J. Cobb as Willy Loman, Mildred Dunnock as Linda, Arthur Kennedy as Biff, and Cameron Mitchell as Happy. The drama was commercially successful and critically acclaimed, winning Tony's Award for Best Writers, New York Dramatic Dramatic Criticism Award, and Pulitzer Prize for Drama. This is the first game to win these three major awards. The drama was performed 742 times.
In 1949, Miller exchanged a letter with Eugene O'Neill about Miller's production of All My Sons . O'Neill sent a congratulatory telegram to Miller; In response, he wrote a letter consisting of several paragraphs detailing his gratitude for telegram, apologizing for not responding before, and inviting Eugene to the opening of a Salesman's death. O'Neill responded, accepting an apology, but declined the invitation, explaining that Parkinson's disease made it difficult to travel. He ended the letter with an invitation to Boston, a trip that never happened.
Critical year
In 1955, a one-act version of the Miller drama drama A View from the Bridge opened on Broadway in a bill along with one of Miller's lesser known dramas, A Memory of Two Mondays. The following year, Miller revised A View from the Bridge as a two-act prose drama, directed by Peter Brook in London. A French-Italian co-production Vu du pont , based on drama, was released in 1962.
Marriage and family
In June 1956, Miller abandoned his first wife, Mary Slattery, whom he married in 1940, and married movie star Marilyn Monroe. They met in 1951, had a brief affair, and kept in touch ever since. Monroe had just turned 30 when they were married and, having never had a family of their own, was eager to join her new husband's family.
Monroe began to reconsider his career and the fact that trying to manage it made him feel helpless. He confessed to Miller, "I hate Hollywood, I do not want it anymore, I want to live quietly in this country and just be there when you need me, I can not fight for myself anymore."
He turned to Judaism to "express his loyalty and approach Miller and his parents", wrote biography of Jeffrey Meyers. Monroe told his close friend Susan Strasberg: "I can identify with Jews Everyone is always out to get them, no matter what they do, like me." As soon as he entered, Egypt banned all his films.
Far from Hollywood and celebrity culture, Monroe's life is becoming more normal; he started cooking, keeping the house and giving Miller more attention and affection than usual. His children, aged twelve and nine, adored him and refused to return to their mother when the weekend ended. Because he also likes parents, he gets along well with his parents, and the feeling is mutually beneficial.
Later that year, Miller was called by HUAC, and Monroe accompanied him. In his personal record, he writes of his concerns during this period:
I am very worried about protecting Arthur. I love him - and he is the only person - a man I have ever known that I can love not only as a man I am interested in practically getting out of my senses - but he is the only person - like any other man I trust the same such as myself...
Miller began working on screenwriting for The Misfits in 1960, directed by John Huston and starring Monroe. But during the filming the relationship between Miller and Monroe was in trouble, and he later said that filming was one of the lowest points in his life. Monroe took drugs to help her sleep and more medication to help her wake up, which caused her to arrive late and then have trouble remembering the lines. Huston does not realize that Miller and Monroe are having problems in their personal lives. He remembered later, "I'm polite enough to tell Arthur that to let him take any drugs is criminal and completely irresponsible, and soon I realize he will not listen to Arthur at all; he has no voice his actions. "
Shortly before the film premiered in 1961, Miller and Monroe divorced after five years of marriage. Nineteen months later, Monroe died of a possible drug overdose. Huston, who also directed it in his first lead role in The Asphalt Jungle in 1950, and who had seen him rise to a star, blamed his death on his doctor as opposed to the pressure of being a star: "The girl is a sleeping pills addict and he's made by damn doctors.That's nothing to do with Hollywood arrangements. "
Miller later married photographer Inge Morath in February 1962. He once worked as a photographer documenting the production of The Misfits . The first of their two children, Rebecca, was born on September 15, 1962. Their son, Daniel, was born with Down syndrome in November 1966. To the wishes of his wife, Miller has instituted it, first in a baby home in New York City. , and then at Southbury Training School in Connecticut. Though Morath often visited Daniel, Miller never visited him at school and rarely talked about him. Miller and Inge remained together until his death in 2002. Arthur Miller's son-in-law, actor Daniel Day-Lewis, is said to visit Daniel often, and has persuaded Arthur Miller to meet him.
HUAC controversy and Crucible
In 1952, Elia Kazan appeared in front of the Non-American House Activity Committee (HUAC). Kazan named eight members of the Group Theater, including Clifford Odets, Paula Strasberg, Lillian Hellman, J. Edward Bromberg, and John Garfield, who in recent years was a fellow member of the Communist Party.
After talking to Kazan about his testimony, Miller traveled to Salem, Massachusetts to research the witch's trial in 1692. The Crucible , in which Miller likened the situation to the Un-American House Activity Committee for witch hunts. in Salem in 1692, opened at the Beck Theater on Broadway on January 22, 1953. Though widely considered to be quite successful at the time of its launch, Today The Crucible is Miller's most frequently produced work worldwide.. It was adapted into opera by Robert Ward in 1961.
Miller and Kazan were close friends throughout the late 1940s and early 1950s, but after Kazan's testimony to the HUAC, the friendship was over, and they did not talk to each other for the next ten years. HUAC took an interest in Miller himself shortly after The Crucible opened, denying him a passport to attend the drama opening in London in 1954. Kazan defended his own actions through his movie On Waterfront, in which a harbor worker heroically testifies against a corrupt boss's boss.
When Miller filed a petition in 1956 for a regular renewal of his passport, the House Committee on American Homes used this opportunity to summon him to appear before the committee. Prior to appearing, Miller asked the committee not to ask him to mention the name, where the chairman, Francis E. Walter (D-PA) agrees.
When Miller attended the hearing, where Monroe accompanied him, risking his own career, he gave the committee a detailed report on his political activities. Recalling the chairman's appointment, the committee demanded the names of friends and colleagues who had participated in similar activities. Miller refused to comply, saying, "I can not use someone else's name and bring trouble to him." As a result, the judge found Miller guilty of humiliation against Congress in May 1957. Miller was sentenced to fines and imprisonment, blacklisted, and banned US passports. In 1958, his conviction was overturned by the appeals court, which ruled that Miller had been misled by the HUAC chairman.
Miller's experience with HUAC has affected him throughout his life. In the late 1970s, he became very interested in the published murder case of Barbara Gibbons, in which Gibbons' son Peter Reilly was convicted of his mother's murder based on what many perceived as forced confessions and little other evidence. City Confidential , A & amp; E Network, generating an episode of murder, postulates that part of the reason Miller took such active interest (including supporting Reilly's defense and using his own celebrity to bring attention to Reilly's fate is because he feels similarly abused in an encounter with HUAC. Reilly, whom he believes to be an innocent man and has been relocated by Connecticut State Police and Attorney General who had initially tried the case.
Later career
In 1964 After Fall was produced, and it was said to be a very personal view of Miller's experience during his marriage to Monroe. The drama brings Miller together with his former friend Kazan: they collaborate in both manuscripts and directions. After the Fall opened on January 23, 1964, at the ANTA Theater in Washington Square Park amid a frenzy of publicity and outrage in placing characters like Monroe, called Maggie, onstage. Robert Brustein, in a review in the New Republic , called After the Fall "a violation of three and one half hour flavors, a confessional autobiography of shameful honesty... there is a misogynist tension in the drama which seems to be unrecognized by the author... He has created a piece of unashamed tabloid gossip, an act of exhibitionism that makes us all adherents,... a piece of sad dramatic writing. "That same year, Miller produced Incident in Vichy . In 1965, Miller was elected the first US president of PEN International, a position he held for four years. A year later, Miller held the 1966 PEN congress in New York City. Miller also wrote the penetrating family drama, The Price , produced in 1968. It was Miller's most successful game ever since the Death of a Salesman.
In 1969, Miller's works were banned in the Soviet Union after he campaigned for the freedom of unbelieving authors. Throughout the 1970s, Miller spent most of his time experimenting with the theater, producing one-act dramas like Fame and Why Reasons, and traveling with his wife, Country and Chinese Encounters with it. Both his 1972 comedy Creation of the World and Other Businesses and his music adaptation, Ascending from Heaven , is a critical and commercial failure.
Miller is an excellent commentator on his own work. In 1978 he published a collection of his book Essay Theater , edited by Robert A. Martin and with his introduction by Miller. Highlights from the collection include Miller's introduction to his Collected Plays, reflections on tragedy theory, commentary on the McCarthy Era, and debating pieces for publicly supported theater. Reviewing this collection at Chicago Tribune, Studs Terkel commented, "in reading [the Theater Essays ]... you are well aware of social criticism, as well as playwrights, who knows what is he talking about. "
In 1983, Miller went to China to produce and direct the Death of a Salesman at the People's Art Theater in Beijing. The drama was successful in China and in 1984, the Seller in Beijing, a book about Miller's experience in Beijing, was published. Around the same time, Death of a Salesman was made into a TV movie starring Dustin Hoffman as Willy Loman. Appearing on CBS, it attracted 25 million viewers. At the end of 1987, Miller's autobiography, Timebends , was published. Prior to publication, it was discovered that Miller would not talk about Monroe in the interview; at Timebends Miller talks about his experience with Monroe in detail.
During the early-mid-1990s, Miller wrote three new dramas: The Ride Down Mt. Morgan (1991), The Last Yankee (1992), and Broken Glass (1994). In 1996, a film from The Crucible starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Paul Scofield, Bruce Davison, and Winona Ryder opened. Miller spent most of 1996 working on scenarios for the film.
sir. Peters' Connections staged Off-Broadway in 1998, and Death of a Salesman was revived on Broadway in 1999 to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary. The drama, once again, was a major critical success, winning the Tony Award for best drama play.
In 1993, he was awarded the National Medal of Arts. Miller was honored with the PEN/Laura Pels International Foundation for the Theater Award for the American Dramatist Master in 1998. In 2001, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) chose Miller for Jefferson Lecture, the highest honor of the US federal government for literary achievement. Miller's lecture entitled "On Politics and the Art of Acting." Miller's lecture analyzed political events (including the 2000 US presidential election) in terms of "performing arts," and it attracted the attacks of some conservatives like Jay Nordlinger, who called it "disgrace," and George Will, who argued that Miller was not legitimate as a " ".
In 1999, Miller was awarded The Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize, one of the richest prizes in art, given annually to "a man or woman who has made a remarkable contribution to the beauty of the world and to the pleasures and understanding of man about life." In 2001, Miller received the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. On May 1, 2002, Miller was awarded the Principe de Asturias Award from Spain for Literature as "an undeniable master of modern drama." Later that year, Ingeborg Morath died of lymphatic cancer at the age of 78 years. The following year Miller won the Jerusalem Prize.
In December 2004, the 89-year-old Miller announced that he had fallen in love with 34-year-old minimalist painter Agnes Barley and had lived with him on Connecticut farms since 2002, and that they intended to get married. Within hours of his father's death, Rebecca Miller ordered Barley to vacate the venue, for consistently opposing the relationship. Miller's final, Completed Pictures , opened at Goodman Theater, Chicago, in the fall of 2004, with one character said to be based on Barley. It was reported based on his experience during the filming of The Misfits, though Miller insisted that the play is a work of fiction with an independent character that is nothing more than the shadow of composite history.
Death
Miller died of bladder cancer and heart failure, at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut. She had been admitted to a nursing home at her sister's apartment in New York since she was released from the hospital the previous month. She died on the night of February 10, 2005 (56th anniversary of the debut of Broadway Death of a Salesman), aged 89, surrounded by Barley, family and friends. Her body was interred at the Roxbury Center Cemetery in Roxbury.

Miller.27s_styles.2C_themes.2C_and_characters "> Miller style, theme and character
Miller successfully synthesized dramatic styles and movements in the belief that a drama must embody a delicate balance between individuals and society, between a single personality and government, and between the separate and collective elements of life. He considers himself the author of social drama with a strong emphasis on moral issues in American society and often questions the cause of psychological behavior. He also built the realist tradition of Henrik Ibsen in the exploration of individual conflicts with society but also borrowed symbolic and expressionist techniques from Bertolt Brecht and others. Some critics try to interpret his work from an exclusively political or exclusive perspective but fail to break through the social veil that Miller made in his work. Miller often stressed that people make their character as it is and how to dictate all their fears and choices.
Themes
All American families
While Miller was under criticism for his reputation, most critics noted him as a family playwright. One of his greatest strengths is his penetrating insight into family relationships. Often, Miller's character lives in the service of their family. Family game conventions, such as patterns, arrangements, and styles of representation were set canonically by Eugene O'Neill, Tennessee Williams, and Miller. In this drama, white men have an honor with their families and social responsibilities; usually, these people are lower class. Miller argues that family and family relationships should be immersed in a social context.
Social responsibility
Miller is known for the awareness of the characters in his drama. In his drama, he faces a level of superficiality with a roller coaster of guilt and responsibility. Some examples of strong characters depicting this struggle between their awareness and their social responsibilities are Joe Keller in All My Sons and John Proctor at The Crucible . Miller often creates consequences for characters who neglect or violate their social responsibilities.
Life, death, and human destiny
Miller's determination to face the eternal theme of life, death, and human purpose is one of the most prominent themes in all of his works. This theme extends from Willy Loman's dedication to providing for his family and his belief that his death will leave a legacy, for John Proctor's willingness to die in order to preserve his name. Nearly all of the protagonists of Miller are struggling with the marks they leave on life and what it means to die.
Famous characters of his works
Willy Loman
In the Death of a Salesman - originally titled "The Inside of His Head" - Miller brilliantly solved the problem of expressing the inner quarrel of the main character, making Willy Loman as resilient as the community in which he tried to sell himself. Indeed, many critics believe that Miller never surpassed his achievements in this drama, which stood as his groundbreaking work, distinguished by a very long Broadway performance, by many revivals, and by many theatrical awards, including the Pulitzer Prize in 1949. > Death of a Salesman seems destined to remain the classic text and American standard in the American classroom.
Willy Loman was keen to believe that she had succeeded, that she was "liked" as a great salesman, a good father, and a devoted husband. That he has not really attracted the admiration and popularity in which he has been aiming is real, however, in the tiredness that underlies him since the beginning of the game. By the time of his retirement he suffered a drastic reduction in sales work, unsatisfactory marriages, and unresolved relationships with his untouchable sons led to suicide with the justification that insurance would eventually provide for his family.
Eddie Carbone
Eddie Carbone is a central character in A View from the Bridge and is not positioned as a protagonist or antagonist. He is a helmsman who lives with his wife, Beatrice, and his 17-year-old nephew, Catherine. When his Italian family, Rodolpho and Marco, migrated illegally and began to live with him, the small world he operated was disrupted. Eddie became conflicted and ultimately damaged himself for his sexual attraction to his niece and his involvement with one of his Italian tenants. His bow character culminated when he became an informant to the immigration authorities leading to a confrontation with one of the tenants. Marco labeled him as an informant and Eddie considered this a permanent flaw in his good name. This confrontation eventually led to his death, leaving Eddie as one of Miller's examples of tragic figures.
John Proctor
John Proctor is the protagonist of one of Miller's most controversial works, The Crucible . He is a faithful peasant who lives with the strict moral code that he violates by succumbing to a young girl, Abigail, who serves in his home. After Proctor refused, Abigail painfully accused the wizard wife of John, involving him in a series of affairs that challenged his beliefs and beliefs. In his attempt to save his wife, he was punished for magic as well, and would only be released if he confessed his crime and signed his name on a piece of paper. Proctor is a strong and vital man at the peak of his life, both in his confession of magic and the subsequent desire he renamed for the cost of his life.
Joe Keller
Critics have long admired the dramatic cries that handle the burden of the Keller family in the drama All My Sons . The critical character in this job is Joe Keller, who allows the defective parts to remain on a fighter plane that then falls. Not only did Joe Keller fail to recognize his social responsibilities, but also allowed his business partner to blame and serve a prison sentence for the crime. Gradually, events merge to remove Keller from rationalization. He argued that he never believed that a cracked engine head would be installed and that he never admitted his mistake because it would push him out of business at the age of sixty-one, when he would not have another chance to "make something" for his family, priority highs. Joe's responsibility was revealed through his son's question about his humanity. Joe's suicide results from the tremendous guilt and self-consciousness that emerged during the show.
Maggie
Maggie is a character that appears in the autobiographical drama of Arthur Miller who is partly, After the Fall . He is one of his most critical and controversial characters, and one of his most famous characters. He is a veiled version of Marilyn Monroe, a former wife of Miller, and thus attempted suicide after her and Quentin's divorce, and her depression comes from reality. This is one of the reasons that the reviews on the first release are generally negative, because of the similarity between fact and fiction. However, academic scholars regard it as one of the best, if not the best, of Miller's creations, as it presents the reader with a great portrait of a woman who faces a mental crisis. It also shows Monroe compared to his marriage reasons with Miller - for example, the fact that Miller takes it seriously, and is prepared to treat it as more than just an object, like everyone else. Miller also highlights his own feelings after Monroe's death by showing Quentin, and his regret that he can not save him from himself.
Literary and public criticism
Christopher Bigsby wrote Arthur Miller: The Definitive Biography based on the paper box Miller made for him before his death in 2005. It was published in November 2008, and reported to reveal unpublished works in which Miller " bitterly attacks [injustice] American racism long before it was taken by the civil rights movement ".
In his book Trinity of Passion, author Alan M. Wald suspects that Miller was "a member of the Communist Party author's unit circa 1946," using Matt Wayne's pseudonym, and editing drama columns in The New magazine Masses .
Two months after Miller died, Peter O'Toole called it "boring" and Roger Kimball went on to say that Miller's artistic accomplishments are very few.
