ARTHUR MILLER

ARTHUR MILLER

1915-2005

Playwright, The Crucible, Married Marilyn Monroe

            Arthur Miller was born in Harlem, New York City, US, into a Jewish family of Polish-Jewish descent. His father owned a women’s clothing business which employed 400 people, they lived on West 110th Street in Manhattan and had a chauffeur. During the Wall Street Crash (1929) his father was ruined during the Depression and moved to Brooklyn. Miller delivered bread before school and worked in a warehouse to get him through University in Michigan. It was at University when he wrote his early plays, including All My Sons (1947). Miller then shot to fame in 1949 for his play ‘Death of a Salesman’.

            Miller suffered political persecution and his play, The Crucible (1953), concerns this subject. He uses the setting of the 17th century witch hunts in Salem to condemn all instances of minority persecution, particularly the anti-communist trials in the US at the time. Miller testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee.

            Miller is best known for being married to Marilyn Monroe for five years. He wrote short stories and a screenplay for Monroe including The Misfits (1961). The couple had an affair and then married in 1956, after he left his wife. Monroe yearned for a family and wanted to start a family of her own, she suffered from a miscarriage and then an ectopic pregnancy in 1957, and then another miscarriage. She converted to Judaism for her husband and said ‘I can identify with the Jews. Everybody’s always out to get them, no matter what they do, like me.’ When she converted to Judaism, Egypt banned all of her movies. Miller had an affair with Monroe’s co-star Yves Montand and Inge Morath, Monroe learned this when Miller left his notebook lying open on a table. Monroe died in 1962.

            In February 1962, Miller married photographer, Inge Morath and they had two children. Their son Daniel was born with Down syndrome (1966) and against his wife’s wishes, Miller had him institutionalized. Morath visited him, but Miller never visited him and rarely spoke of him. The couple remained together until 2002 when she died. Miller’s daughter Rebecca is married to Daniel Day-Lewis.

            Miller’s later works included The Ride Down Mt Morgan (1991), The Last Yankee (1992), and the novel Plain Girl (1995). Three months after his wife died, Miller, 89, started a relationship with Agnes Barley, 34, who moved in with him and intended to marry. Just days after her father died, Rebecca ordered Barley out of his home.

            Miller died in 2005, aged 89, of bladder cancer and heart failure in Roxbury, Connecticut.

Arthur Miller (1915–2005)

“I wish I had a routine for writing,” Miller told an interviewer in 1999. “I get up in the morning and I go out to my studio and I write. And then I tear it up! That’s the routine, really. Then, occasionally, something sticks. And then I follow that. The only image I can think of is a man walking around with an iron rod in his hand during a lightning storm.”

Arthur Asher Miller (October 17, 1915 – February 10, 2005) was an American playwright, essayist and screenwriter in the 20th-century American theater. Among his most popular plays are All My Sons (1947), Death of a Salesman (1949), The Crucible (1953), and A View from the Bridge (1955). He wrote several screenplays, including The Misfits (1961). The drama Death of a Salesman is considered one of the best American plays of the 20th century.

Miller was often in the public eye, particularly during the late 1940s, 1950s and early 1960s. During this time, he received a Pulitzer Prize for Drama, testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee, and married Marilyn Monroe. In 1980, he received the St. Louis Literary Award from the Saint Louis University Library Associates. He received the Praemium Imperiale prize in 2001, the Prince of Asturias Award in 2002, and the Jerusalem Prize in 2003, and the Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize in 1999.

Miller's writing career spanned over seven decades, and at the time of his death, he was considered one of the 20th century's greatest dramatists. After his death, many respected actors, directors, and producers paid tribute to him, some calling him the last great practitioner of the American stage, and Broadway theatres darkened their lights in a show of respect. Miller's alma mater, the University of Michigan, opened the Arthur Miller Theatre in March 2007. Per his express wish, it is the only theater in the world that bears his name.

Miller's letters, notes, drafts and other papers are housed at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin. Miller is also a member of the American Theater Hall of Fame. He was inducted in 1979. In 1993, he received the Four Freedoms Award for Freedom of Speech. In 2017, his daughter, Rebecca Miller, a writer and filmmaker, completed a documentary about her father's life, Arthur Miller: Writer. Minor planet 3769 Arthurmiller is named after him. In the 2022 Netflix film Blonde, Miller was portrayed by Adrien Brody.

Miller donated thirteen boxes of his earliest manuscripts to the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin in 1961 and 1962. This collection included the original handwritten notebooks and early typed drafts for Death of a Salesman, The Crucible, All My Sons, and other works. In January, 2018, the Ransom Center announced the acquisition of the remainder of the Miller archive, totaling over 200 boxes. The full archive opened in November, 2019.

Christopher Bigsby wrote Arthur Miller: The Definitive Biography based on boxes of papers Miller made available to him before his death in 2005. The book was published in November 2008, and is reported to reveal unpublished works in which Miller "bitterly attack[ed] the injustices of American racism long before it was taken up by the civil rights movement". In his book Trinity of Passion, author Alan M. Wald conjectures that Miller was "a member of a writer's unit of the Communist Party around 1946", using the pseudonym Matt Wayne, and editing a drama column in the magazine The New Masses.

In 1999, the writer Christopher Hitchens attacked Miller for comparing the Monica Lewinsky investigation to the Salem witch hunt. Miller had asserted a parallel between the examination of physical evidence on Lewinsky's dress and the examinations of women's bodies for signs of the "Devil's Marks" in Salem. Hitchens scathingly disputed the parallel. In his memoir, Hitch-22, Hitchens bitterly noted that Miller, despite his prominence as a left-wing intellectual, had failed to support author Salman Rushdie during the Iranian fatwa involving The Satanic Verses.

Old Response Essay From School Comparing Arthur Miller and Shakespeare

I have writer's block this week, so here's one of my old responses from school this year. This is supposed to be bad because it was my last response for the year.

Arthur Miller, a playwriting GENIUS, beautifully crafted the pinnacle play of the entire history of mankind, Death of A Salesman, through an individualistic outlet of capturing the classical nuances of Shakespeare. Nowadays, it is always difficult for writers, producers, and artists to create their own original concept considering that a lot of themes, plotlines, and essences are inspired by timeless Shakespeare concepts surrounding family, love, betrayal, heartbreak, ambition, etc! Human nature is built off of these tenets, and like the literary mastermind like Shakespeare is, he included his environment and historical context in the midst of his works. Arthur Miller could be considered a modern-day Shakespeare based on the similarities between timeless themes and historical context. There is no way! Absolutely no way that Arthuer Miller is not on the same playing field as Shakespeare - they both shocked the public with their blatant truth and controversial topics that - in both cases - no society wanted to address. Also, not gonna lie, there weren’t any deus ex machina moments in Miller’s play, which is refreshing and almost makes his play more personable because it’s essentially more realistic than plays with kings and queens (although… tragedies about how the royal have awful qualities and tendencies really humanizes them, too…). In my eyes, because capitalism is truly the rich man’s game, people feed into consumerism culture and materialism so easily, and honestly this can be easily related to “influencer” culture (which is so funny and stupid because people call themselves influencers only to make money off of sponsorships that they don’t truly care about) because all teenagers care about these days is gaining the most likes and attention on social media! Which! Almost! Turns! Us! Into! Willy because we will run in circles gaining false approval!! ANYWAY, yes, I think Death of a Salesman deserves its own special plaque of “Hey! I’m just as worthy as Shakespeare and should receive the same amount of respect as him… and maybe a little bit more because I’m more relatable” on the wall of every 12th grade English class.
