All My Sons by Arthur Miller

All My SonsAll My Sons by Arthur Miller
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Woah, super intense and very powerful denunciation of greed. Basically an essay on our responsibility for each other in this world. It was extremely dramatic, as in, very sensational.

After the Fall by Arthur Miller

After the FallAfter the Fall by Arthur Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is one of the strangest things I've read. Parts of it are amazing. Other parts are confounding or infuriating. It's impossible to describe beyond that the main character examines his three marriages- one of which appears to be based on Miler's real-life marriage to Marilyn Monroe. It's also about McCarthyism and the Holocaust. Um, yeah, that's a lot. It's messed up.

A View from the Bridge by Arthur Miller

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A terrifying and tragic play about family dynamics, immigration, law, and the denial of your own sins. I read and saw the play in 2010 when I was actually working on immigration law so I could relate to the aspect of how harsh the law is on both documented and undocumented immigrants.

The Crucible by Arthur Miller

The CrucibleThe Crucible by Arthur Miller
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This play is moving, disturbing, and especially frightening for its realism- not just during the McCarthy era but in every scapegoat-and-"you're with us or your against us" era.
