All My Sons As Precursor in Arthur Miller's Dramatic World
All My Sons as Precursor in Arthur Miller’s Dramatic World Masahiro OIKAWA※ Abstract Since its first production in 1947, Arthur Miller’s All My Sons has been performed and appreciated worldwide. In academic studies on Miller, it secures an important place as a precursor, because it has encompassed such themes as father-son conflict, pursuit of success dream in the form of a traditional tragedy as well as a family and a social play. As for techniques, to begin with, the Ibsenite method of dramatization of the present critical situation and presentation of the past “with sentimentality” are obvious. Secondly, the biblical tale of Cain and Abel from the Old Testament allows the play to disguise itself as a modern morality play on “brotherly love.” Thirdly, Oedipus’s murder of his father in Oedipus Rex is used symbolically to place the play in the Western tradition of drama. Taking all these major themes and techniques into account, the paper argues that the play is dramatizing the universal, and that by looking at the conflict between father and son, we can understand why Miller’s message in All My Sons is significant for Japanese andiences. I. Introducion Most of the reviews appearing in the major newspapers and magazines on All My Sons (1947) were rather favorable, which is quite understandable considering that the play vividly depicts the psychological aspects of the United States during and immediately after the Second World War in a realistic setting. In fact, it is impossible to understand the problems Joe and Chris Keller, the father and the son, get involved in without the background of the war. -

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, revised 1956).

Religion Five Years After the Crucible Was First Produced, Historian Edmund S
Religion Five years after The Crucible was first produced, historian Edmund S. Morgan offered this trenchant summary of Puritanism’s inherent religious tensions: Puritanism required that a man devote his life to seeking salvation but told him he was helpless to do anything but evil. Puritanism required that he rest his whole hope in Christ but taught him that Christ would utterly reject him unless before he was born God had foreordained his salvation. Puritanism required that man refrain from sin but told him that he would sin anyhow. Puritanism required that he reform the world in the image of God’s holy kingdom but taught him that the evil of the world was incurable and inevitable. Puritanism required that he work to the best of his ability at whatever task was set before KLP DQG SDUWDNH RI WKH JRRG WKLQJV WKDW *RG KDG ¿OOHG WKH ZRUOG with but told him he must enjoy his work and his pleasures only, as it ZHUHDEVHQWPLQGHGO\ZLWKKLVDWWHQWLRQ¿[HGRQ*RG Miller’s play reflects this constellation of paradoxes in its characters’ earnest seeking after truth despite their blindness to their own ignorance, their determination to root out evil wherever they might find it except in their own assumptions and beliefs, and in their longing for a perfectly moral life that would dominate their irrepressible human passions. For them, the devil was a spiritual reality that encompassed these and other barriers to a pious and godly life. As Miller himself commented, religious faith is central to the play’s intent: The form, the shape, the meaning of The Crucible were all compounded out of the faith of those who were hanged. -
Willy Loman and the Method
Spring 1987 151 Willy Loman and the Method Steve Vineberg* A great new performance in a famous role illuminates corners of a dramatic work previously hidden in the shadows, and thus it always implies an annex to the body of critical material focused on the play. When Dustin Hoffman took on the role of Willy Loman, the protagonist of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, in Michael Rudman's Broadway revival in 1984, he suggested a way of looking at the character and the play that challenged Lee J. Cobb's justly famous portrayal in the original production, in 1949. Jux• taposed, the two performances demonstrate the distance between a classical reading of Miller's play, which he advocated strongly in his own critical writings within the decade of its unveiling, and a more contemporary, naturalistic approach—what we might call a revisionist Salesman. And since Hoffman is the first major Method actor since Cobb to make a stab at Willy, a consideration of the two performances also underscores the connections between the play and the history of American Method acting. In this essay I would like to discuss those connections and then compare the two interpreta• tions, drawing on a viewing of Hoffman's work in September 1984 and on Cobb's 1966 television recreation of his stage performance. We are denied, unfortunately, a record of Cobb's original appearance in the role, in 1949, but his splendid recreation of the role in 1966 is, I think, a fair indication of one actor's interpretation; moreover, it represents a sufficient distance from Hoffman's, eighteen years later, to make a strong argument for the difference between the readings. -

In the person of Willy Loman, the aging, failing salesman who makes his living riding on a smile and a shoeshine, Arthur Miller redefined the tragic hero as a man whose dreams are at once insupportably vast and dangerously insubstantial. He has given us a figure whose name has become a symbol for a kind of majestic grandiosity— and a play that compresses epic extremems of humor and anguish, promise and loss, between the four walls of an American living room.
