《推销员之死》中的林达形象

《推销员之死》中的林达形象

2014.01学教育103《推销员之死》中的林达形象刘田(成都信息工程学院银杏酒店管理学院,四川成都611743)[摘要]《推销员之死》是阿瑟·米勒一部非常重要的戏剧作品,本文从分析剧作最主要女性人物形象塑造的角度,展现这部剧所揭示的普通人的悲剧性。

[关键词]推销员之死;阿瑟·米勒;林达;写作技巧;悲剧《推销员之死》中的林达同威利·洛曼一样是个被作者塑造得很成功的人物形象。

阿瑟米勒在他的戏剧集引言中谈到,当他想到林达在威利坟边说“他的手一向是灵巧得很的”这么一句台词时忍不住发出“艺术家魔鬼般的大笑”,“因为一切线索都汇集到这句台词里了——她是他创造的,尽管他不知道,不相信或自己不接受这个念头”。

因此要讨论林达多重的人格,必须首先简略地介绍威利,并且将林达和威利的人物关系放到重要的位置。

这里要先谈谈创作《推销员之死》的情感体验,阿瑟米勒说这部作品是从简单的形象发展起来的,大意为承载着一个具有征服者气质的家庭喧闹的木屋最后空荡沉寂,由另一些陌生人占据,可见米勒在创作时是带着几分唏嘘和感慨的心态来塑造他笔下的人物的。

在《推销员》的诞辰中,阿瑟米勒提到自己唯一一次作为观众看这部戏后感叹“我们一定是个极其孤独的民族,被如此巨大的自我满足的矫饰将我们分割开来,被机械辗得如此之精细,以致我们几乎不再触动别人了。

我们正在单个地企图拯救自己……”,另外,在他的戏剧集引言中作者提到一个社会成功的法则,这条法则几乎成为大家深信又深疑的美德。

《推销员之死》是在威利对自己无法满足这条法则感到深深内疚的情况下开场的。

创造能力强、有追求的威利已经意识到一直以来他让自己和家庭像进行宗教活动般虔诚地想要成功的行动方式是错误的,但他又不能面对失败,为了骗或证明自己是正确的,他始终用曾经知道或遇到的成功的人的残缺的画面激励自己做挣扎。

因此,《推销员之死》开场后,威利尽管精疲力竭,却一直是狂躁,充满信念感,用俗话说像打了鸡血一般的状态。

有三十余年推销经历的威利,一直被美国商业文化虚幻的光晕所笼罩,幻想通过商品推销得到名望以及并不现实的美好前景,最后却以自身的毁灭换取保险赔偿才能获得价值和尊严,该剧获得了包括普利策奖在内的三大奖项。

美国作家分期

美国作家分期

(1)“grace under pressure”war and influence of war on people, with scenes connected withhunting, bull fighting which demand stamina and courage, and with the question “how to live with pain”, “how human being live gracefully under pressure”.(2)“code hero”The Hemingway hero is an average man of decidedly masculine tastes, sensitiveand intelligent, a man of action, and one of few words. That is an individualist keeping emotions under control, stoic and self-disciplined in a dreadful place. These people are usually spiritual strong, people of certain skills, and most of them encounter death many times.P. S. 1 :美国文学分期一般是从浪漫主义开始,因为清教主义是殖民地时期的,写浪漫主义的时候一定要写American Romanticism, 因为英国的浪漫主义时期和美国的不一样。

浪漫主义时期---现实主义时期---自然主义时期---现代,进入现代后,已经说了,文学流派纷繁杂出,很多,像哈莱姆文艺复兴,爵士时代,意象派,迷失的一代,垮掉的一代,荒诞派。

很多流派,达达主义,超现实主义等等。

P.S. 2:作品还需要看课本上,老师划的重点,标出黑体的是在美国文学史上公认,还有我认为比较重要的,但是不尽然,因为每个老师有自己偏爱的作家,像Willa Cather,基本提到的很少,但是你们也学了。

推销员之死中男主人公的悲剧形象

推销员之死中男主人公的悲剧形象

2013年2月佳木斯大学社会科学学报Feb.,2013第31卷第1期JOURNAL OF SOCI AL SCIENCE OF JIA MUSI UNIVERSI TY Vol.31 No.1论 推销员之死 中男主人公的悲剧形象胡 蓉,任静明(安徽建筑工业学院外语系,安徽合肥230601)[摘 要]阿瑟 米勒创作的 推销员之死 一剧通过主人公威利 洛曼一生追逐 美国梦 的实现到幻想的破灭,成功地塑造出一位美国普通推销员的悲剧一生。

本文通过对主人公的心理性格、家庭成员以及社会经济等三个方面的分析,充分展示出 美国梦 这一神话的幻灭。

折射出他盲目追求美国梦的悲剧命运不仅是他个人和家庭关系的一出悲剧,更是一出美国现代社会和美国社会中所有人的悲剧。

[关键词]推销员之死;悲剧;成因[中图分类号]I106.4 [文献标识码]A [文章编号]1007-9882(2013)01-0123-02一、前言美国著名的戏剧家阿瑟米勒的代表作 推销员之死 描述了一位生活在社会底层的小人物的悲惨命运,塑造了一位一生在梦幻中寻找自我、而在现实生活中无情地遭受了美国梦破灭打击和摧残的原型形象。

该剧深刻地刻画出主人公威利洛曼的个人性格、家庭成员和社会经济之间的矛盾和冲突,探索和部析了人与其所处的社会环境关系以及社会道德问题,对现代美国社会的现实进行了无情的抨击和谴责。

威利洛曼的悲剧不仅仅代表了其个人,更是代表了美国梦乃至整个美国社会的悲剧。

阿瑟米勒曾经说过: 如果说一个人的悲剧是这个人不顾一切要求公正评价自己所导致的话,那么他因此而遭受的毁灭就揭示出其所置身的社会环境中的缺陷或邪恶 [1](P145)。

在威利洛曼的身上充分体现出底层小人物梦想破灭后的深深无奈和绝望的心情,而正是这种追求美国梦成为了他生活中全部的精神支柱,但是残酷的现实与美妙的幻想是永远无法平衡的,最终,巨大的跌落感彻底埋葬了他继续生活下去的勇气和信心。

本文拟从三个方面分析探讨其悲剧产生的原因所在。

阿瑟米勒生平

阿瑟米勒生平

American playwright who combined in his works social awareness with deep insights into personal weaknesses of his characters'. Miller is best known for the play DEATH OF A SALESMAN (1949), or on the other hand, for his marriage to the actress Marilyn Monroe.Miller's plays continued the realistic tradition that began in the United States in the period between the two world wars. With Tennessee Williams, Miller was one of the best-known American playwrights after WW II. Several of his works were filmed by such director as John Huston, Sidney Lumet and Karel Reiz."Don't say he's a great man. Willy Loman never made a lot of money. His name was never in the paper. He's not the finest character that ever lived. But he's a human being, and a terrible thing is happening to him. So attention must be paid. He's not to be allowed to fall into his grave like an old dog. Attention, attention must finally paid to such a person."(from Death of a Salesman) Arthur Miller was born in Harlem, New York City; the family moved shortly afterwards to asix-storey building at 45110th Street between Lenox and Fifth Avenues. His father, Isidore Miller, was an illiterate Jewish immigrant from Poland. His succesfull ladies-wear manufacturer and shopkeeper was ruined in the depression. Augusta Barnett, Miller's mother, was born in New York, but her father came from the same Polish town as the Millers.The sudden change in fortune had a strong influence on Miller. "This desire to move on, to metamorphose ?or perhaps it is a talent for being contemporary ?was given me as life's inevitable and righful condition," he wrote in TIMEBENDS: A LIFE (1987). The family moved to a small frame house in Brooklyn, which is said to the model for the Brooklyn home in Death of a Salesman. Miller spent his boyhood playing foorball and baseball, reading adventure stories, and appearing generally as a nonintellectual. "If I had any ideology at all it was what I had learned from Hearst newspapers," he once said. After graduating from a high school in 1932, Miller worked in automobile parts warehouse to earn money for college. Having read Dostoevsky's novel The Brothers Karamazov Miller decided to become a writer. To study journalism he entered the University of Michigan in 1934, where he won awards for playwriting ?one of the other awarded playwright was Tennessee Williams.After graduating in English in 1938, Miller returned to New York. There he joined the Federal Theatre Project, and wrote scripts for radio programs, such as Columbia Workshop (CBS) and Cavalcade of America (NBC). Because of a football injury, he was exempt from draft. In 1940 Miller married a Catholic girl, Mary Slattery, his college sweetheart, with whom he had two children. Miller's first play to appear on Broadway was THE MAN WHO HAD ALL THE THE LUCK (1944). It closed after four performances. Three years later produced ALL MY SONS was about a factory owner who sells faulty aircraft parts during World War II. It won the New York Drama Critics Circle award and two Tony Awards. In 1944 Miller toured Army camps to collect background material for the screenplay THE STORY OF GI JOE (1945). Miller's first novel, FOCUS (1945), was about anti-Semitism.Miller's plays often depict how families are destroyed by false values. Especially his earliest efforts show his admiration for the classical Greek dramatists. "When I began to write," he said in an interview, "one assumed inevitably that one was in the mainstream that began with Aeschylus and went through about twenty-five hundred years of playwriting." (from The Cambridge Companion to Arthur Miller, ed. by Christopher Bigsby, 1997)DEATH OF A SALESMAN (1949) brought Miller international fame, and become one of the major achievements of modern American theatre. It relates the tragic story of a salesman namedWilly Loman, whose past and present are mingled in expressionistic scenes. Loman is not the great success that he claims to be to his family and friends. The postwar economic boom has shaken up his life. He is eventually fired and he begins to hallucinate about significant events from his past. Linda, his wife, believes in the American Dream, but she also keeps her feet on the ground. Deciding that he is worth more dead than alive, Willy kills himself in his car ?hoping that the insurance money will support his family and his son Biff could get a new start in his life. Critics have disagreed whether his suicide is an act of cowardice or a last sacrifice on the altar of the American Dream.WILLY: I'm not interested in stories about the past or any crap of that kind because the woods are burning, boys, you understand? There's a big blaze going on all around. I was fired today. BIFF (shocked): How could you be?WILLY: I was fired, and I'm looking for a little good news to tell your mother, because the woman has waited and the woman has suffered. The gist of it is that I haven't got a story left in my head, Biff. So don't give me a lecture about facts and aspects. I am not interested. Nowwhat've you got so say to me?(from Death of a Salesman)In 1949 Miller was named an "Outstanding Father of the Year", which manifested his success as a famous writer. But the wheel of fortune was going down. In the 1950s Miller was subjected to a scrutiny by a committee of the United States Congress investigating Communist influence in the arts. The FBI read his play The Hook, about a militant union organizer, and he was denied a passport to attend the Brussels premiere of his play THE CRUCIBLE (1953). It was based on court records and historical personages of the Salem witch trials of 1692. In Salem one could be hanged because of ''the inflamed human imagination, the poetry of suggestion.'' The daughter of Salem's minister falls mysteriously ill. Reverend Samuel Parris is a widower, and there is very little good to be said for him. He believes he is persecuted wherever he goes. Rumours of witchcraft spread throughout the people of Salem. "The times, to their eyes, must have been out of joint, and to the common folk must have seemed as insoluble and complicated as do ours today." The minister accuses Abigail Williams of wrongdoing, but she transforms the accusation into plea for help: her soul has been bewitched. Young girls, led by Abigail, make accusations of witchcraft against townspeople whom they do not like. Abigail accuses Elizabeth Proctor, the wife of an upstanding farmer, whom she had once seduced. Elizabeth's husband John Proctor reveals his past lechery. Elizabeth, unaware, fails to confirm his testimony. To protect him she testifies falsely that her husband has not been intimate with Abigail. Proctor is accused of witchcraft and condemned to death.The Crucible, which received Antoinette Perry Award, was an allegory for the McCarthy era and mass hysteria. Although its first Broadway production flopped, it become one of Miller'smost-produced play. Miller wrote The Crucible in the atmosphere in which the author saw "accepted the notion that conscience was no longer a private matter but one of state administration." In the play he expressed his faith in the ability of an individual to resist conformist pressures."You know, sometimes God mixes up the people. We all love somebody, the wife, the kids - every man's got somebody he loves, heh? Bus sometimes... there's too much. You know? There's too much, and it goes where it mustn't. A man works hard, he brings up a child, sometimes it's niece, sometimes even a daughter, and he never realizes it, but through the years - there is too muchlove for the daughter, there is too much love for the niece." (from A View from the Bridge)Elia Kazan, with whom Miller had shared an artistic vision and for a period a girlfriend, the motion-picture actress Marilyn Monroe, named in 1952 eight former reds, who had been in the Communist Party with him. Kazan virtually became a pariah overnight, Miller remained a hero of the Left. Two short plays under the collective title A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE were successfully produced in 1955. The drama, dealing with incestuous love, jealousy and betrayal, was also an answer to Kazan's film On the Waterfront (1954), in which the director justified his naming names.In 1956 Miller was awarded honorary degree at the University of Michigan but also called before the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Miller admitted that he had attended certain meetings, but denied that he was a Communist. He had attended among others four or fivewriters's meetings sponsored by the Communist Party in 1947, supported a Peace Conference at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York, and signed many apppeals and protests. "Marilyn's fiance admits aiding reds," wrote the press. Refusing to offer other people's names, who had associated with leftist or suspected Communist groups, Miller was cited for contempt of Congress, but the ruling was reversed by the courts in 1958.Miller ?"the man who had all the luck" ?married Marilyn Monroe in 1956; they divorced in 1961. At that time Marilyn was beyond saving. She died in 1962.In the late 1950s Miller wrote nothing for the theatre. His screenplay MISFITS was written with a role for his wife. The film was directed by John Huston, starring Mongomery Clift, Clark Gable, and Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn was always late getting to the set and used heavily drugs. The marriage was already breaking, and Miller was feeling lonely. John Huston wrote in his book of memoir, An Open Book, (1980): "One evening I was about to drive away from the location ?miles out in the desert ?when I saw Arthur standing alone. Marilyn and her friends hadn't offered him a ride back; they'd just left him. If I hadn't happened to see him, he would have been stranded out there. My sympathies were more and more with him." Later Miller said that there "should have been more long shots to remind us constantly how isolated there people were, physically and morally." Miller's last play, FINISHING THE PICTURE, produced in 2004, depicted the making of Misfits.Miller was politically active throughout his life. In 1965 he was elected president of P.E.N., the international literary organization. At the 1968 Democratic Party Convention he was a delegate for Eugene McCarthy. In 1964 Miller returned to stage after a nine-year absence with the play AFTER THE FALL, a strongly autobiographical work, which dealt with the questions of guilt and innocence. The play also united Kazan and Miller, but their close friendship was over, destroyed by the blacklist. Many critics consider that Maggie, the self-destructive central character, was modelled on Monroe, though Miller denied this. A year after his divorce, Miller married the Austrian photographer Inge Morath (1923-2002), whom he had met during the filming of The Misfits. Miller co-operated with her on two books about China and Russia. After Inge Morath died, Miller plannd to marry Agnes Barley, a 34-year-old artist. In 1985 Miller went to Turkey with the playwright Harold Pinter. Their journey was arranged by PEN in conjunction with the Helsinki Watch Committee. One of their guides in Istanbul was Orhan Pamuk.In the 1990s Miller wrote such plays as THE RIDE DOWN MOUNT MORGAN (prod. 1991) and THE LAST YANKEE (prod. 1993), but in an interview he stated that "It happens to be a very bad historical moment for playwriting, because the theater is getting more and more difficult to findactors for, since television pays so much and the movies even more than that. If you're young,you'll probably be writing about young people, and that's easier -- you can find young actors -- but you can't readily find mature actors." ('We're Probably in an Art That Is -- Not Dying' ,The New York Times,January 17, 1993)In 2002 Miller was honored with Spain's prestigious Principe de Asturias Prize for Literature, making him the first U.S. recipient of the award. Miller died of heart failure at home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on February 10, 2005.美国剧作家谁在他的作品结合深邃的思想与社会意识纳入他的角色的性格上的弱点。

内容摘要
“她的一切属于她,我的一切属于我。”——“美国戏剧的良心”阿瑟·米勒的精神自白,对股市崩盘、大 屠杀、猎巫运动和一代名伶的私人记忆。资深戏剧研究专家郭继德先生翻译,中文单行本国内首次出版。当“伟 大的美国头脑”遇上“伟大的美国肉体”,“梦露先生”表示,一个人的时候可以彷徨,同床共枕时要坚定。 《堕落之后》是阿瑟·米勒于1964年创作的一部两幕剧。剧本具有浓厚的自传色彩,是米勒对与第二任妻子玛丽 莲·梦露之间一场失败婚姻的总结和追溯:主人公昆廷是纽约的一名律师,他一边回顾25年来的人生经历,包括 股市崩盘造成的家庭悲剧,麦卡锡“猎巫”行动下岌岌可危的友谊,以及一段痛苦的婚姻,一边反思何为道德、 何为人性。最终领悟到人类自从亚当犯了原罪、堕落之后,就有了犯罪的本能,只认识到爱是远远不够的,更需 要面对生活而无所畏惧。值得注意的是,剧本在叙事形式上大胆创新,以一种非线性的意识流推进剧情,实现了 出场人物视角的自由切换。有些西方评论家认为,米勒敢于暴露自己的灵魂而写出了一部意义深远的自传体文献, 堪与奥尼尔的《长夜漫漫路迢迢》相并列而无愧。
读书笔记
古怪。 这是一本道德伪善者想借抨击堕落来证明高尚,却恰好呈现了他的堕落的故事。 据说这个剧本是对他和梦露婚姻的总结和思考,具有浓厚的自传色彩,是一部非常独特的意识流剧本。 一口气读完,喜欢,有几处冲突非常震撼,心被撕裂,有种破碎、残忍的美。 有几句台词蛮优秀的:霍尔佳“在自身之外寻找希望是错误的”那大段独白、露易丝“我一直等着挣扎开 始”。 一生太长,太多的遗憾该从何写起,无数的人物在同一时空交替,父母、兄弟、曾经的爱人与朋友,现实梦 境,混沌回忆,读了两遍才弄明白所有事情,如果在舞台上呈现,效果应比文字好得多。

观话剧《萨勒姆的女巫》观话剧《萨勒姆的女巫》摘要:《萨勒姆的女巫》是美国着名剧作家阿瑟·米勒创作的重要剧作。

本文先对本剧的主题做一简洁陈述。

整部话剧好似一场游戏,起因非常简单,但引起的后果却让人大跌眼镜。

本文主要展示妖精艾比盖尔的作为及其原因;伊丽莎白的圣母形象及她的弱点;以及在这两个女人夹缝中普罗克托所做出的人生选择。

并对他的这一人生选择做出我的评述。

关键词:妖精圣母普罗克托人生选择《萨勒姆的女巫》是美国着名剧作家阿瑟·米勒创作的重要剧作。

2008.6.20,我们有幸在上戏剧院看了由年轻导演吕岩导演的《萨勒姆的女巫》。

这部话剧我以前从没有看过,一开始对它并没有报很大的期望,结果,感觉却非常的好!这种好包括了两点:首先是剧本的好,那种矛盾冲突的不可调节令人心醉;其次是舞台的设计与演员的表演非常的好,那氛围、那服装、那布景、那人物的充满激情的表现,令人情不自禁的进入到戏里,感受人物的痛苦与挣扎。

故事起因是简单的,1692年的春天,在萨勒姆小镇上,少女们受不了禁欲主义的规范,在森林里尽情舞蹈、嬉戏。

少女的放浪形骸被一些居心叵测的人看到,说她们魔鬼附生,要被绞刑,在这样的情况下,人人自危,谎话连篇,互相诬陷。

故事后果是严重的,很多人被绞杀。

在全剧当中,有一条主要的线索,就是少女艾比盖尔因爱生恨,为得到有妇之夫普罗克托,指认其妻伊丽莎白为女巫。

普罗克托为救妻子,与艾比盖尔对簿公堂,反被诬陷为魔鬼代言人而入狱。

普罗克托在生命与良心之间苦苦挣扎,最后选择了良心,使自己的生命价值得到提升。

一、妖精的动人心魄我给少女艾比盖尔下了一个定义:妖精。

这在现实生活中不是一个好词汇,但在艺术中却绝对是一个表现力、生命力十足的词汇,这表明,她是一个活生生的人,有喜怒哀乐,有七情六欲,但她更喜欢极端的表现出来,不顾死活,不顾后果。

这样的人犹如美女蛇,被她爱被她恨的人都得小心了(爱越深,恨越切),她们的报复心极强。

阿瑟米勒

阿瑟米勒

阿瑟·米勒的戏剧被称之为社会剧,而且主要以悲剧形态呈现,表现出强烈的社会责任感,被称之为“美国 戏剧的良心”。阿瑟·米勒社会剧创作的基本特色是关注社会问题,思考人生哲理,探究人的生命的价值和意义, 把人的良心、良知、责任感和公正、正直看做是戏剧魅力的主要源泉。
阿瑟·米勒的社会剧大多呈现为悲剧的审美形态。尽管他所创作的这种类型的悲剧与现代悲剧意识密切相连, 但 阿 瑟 ·米 勒 却 一 再 强 调 它 与 古 希 腊 悲 剧 具 有 内 在 一 致 性 , 即 悲 剧 精 神 的 具 有 内 在 联 系 。 阿 瑟 ·米 勒 将 古 典 形 态 的 悲剧精神与现代悲剧意识进行了有效的嫁接和融汇,创造了属于他自己的也是属于当代世界戏剧的独特的悲剧审 美形态。
往事重演即将往事以直观的场面呈现于观众面前,类似于电影中的“闪回”技巧。这是米勒戏剧的一大特点, 也是他对表现主义手法的实践。剧中人物常常受现实中某一因素的激发,陷入对往事的回忆中,此时仿佛时光倒 转,人物从现实回到了过去。舞台上开始上演过去的情景,人物完全沉浸在其中。往事重演的第一种情......

“有人缘”哲学的失败——《推销员之死》中威利死亡原因分析摘要: 阿瑟米勒是一位有着高度社会责任感的作家,他的作品直面现实,反映人们所关注的社会问题,成功地表现了现代悲剧。

本文认为,他的名剧《推销员之死》的主人公威利死亡的主要原因并非美国梦的破灭,而是他的错误的“有人缘”的哲学。

关键词: 美国梦; 有人缘; 哲学阿瑟米勒(1 9 1 5 - 2 0 0 5 )是一位有着高度社会责任感的作家,他的作品直面现实,反映人们所关注的社会问题,成功地表现了现代的,尤其是普通人的悲剧。

他的这种特性为他赢得了“美国戏剧的良心”的美誉,获得了广泛的认可。

他的《推销员之死》(D e a t h o f A Salesman)与尤金. 奥尼尔的《漫长的一天到黑夜》(Long Day’s Journey into Night),田纳西. 威廉斯的《欲望号电车》( A Streetcar Named Desire)被誉为美国戏剧史上最有名的3 部悲剧。

除《推销员之死》外,米勒的作品还包括《全是我的儿子》(All My Sons,1947),《严峻的考验》(Crucible,1953)等等。

但是影响最大的要数《推销员之死》。

《推》剧发表后,在百老汇连续上演了7 4 2 场,好评如潮,荣获普利策奖及纽约剧评奖,为作者赢得了国际声誉。

《推》讲述的是老推销员威利. 娄曼生命中最后2 4 小时的故事。

年老的推销员威利娄曼,提着两只沉重的手提箱回到家,由于工作的压力已经精神恍惚。

威利现在已是年老体衰,不能再胜任四处奔波的推销员生活,但是当他向老板霍华德提出要在纽约办公室工作时,霍华德竟然将他辞退,像橘子皮一样将他扔掉。

他一生的成功梦想就此破灭。

雪上加霜的是威利寄予厚望的大儿子比夫的一事无成。

威利有两个儿子,曾经令他无限自豪的长子比夫年逾三十却一事无成,在西部农场打零工度日;次子哈皮跟威利一样是一个不算成功的推销员,整日花天酒地追欢逐乐。

Arthur Miller
(October 17, 1915 – February 10, 2005)
Early life
Arthur Asher Miller was born on October 17, 1915, in Harlem, New York City, the second of three children of Isidore and Augusta Miller, Polish-Jewish immigrants. In the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the family lost almost everything and moved to Gravesend, Brooklyn. Miller delivered bread every morning before school to help the family.After graduating in 1932 from Abraham Lincoln High School, he worked at several menial jobs to pay for his college tuition.
Miller began work on The Misfits《花田错》, starring his wife. Miller later said that the filming was one of the lowest points in his life; shortly before the film's premiere in 1961, the pair divorced. 19 months later, Monroe died of a possible drug overdose.
In June 1956, Miller left his first wife Mary Slattery and on June 25 he married Marilyn Monroe. Miller and Monroe had met in April 23, 1951, when they had a brief affair, and had remained in contact since then.
After the Fall opened on January 23, 1964 at the ANTA Theatre in Washington Square Park amid a flurry of publicity and outrage at putting a Monroe-like character, called Maggie, on stage. That samdent at Vichy.
Miller was often in the public eye, particularly during the late 1940s, 1950s and early 1960s, a period during which he testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee, received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Prince of Asturias Award, and was married to Marilyn Monroe.
On May 1, 2002, Miller was awarded Spain's Principe de Asturias Prize for Literature as "the undisputed master of modern drama."
In December 2004, the 89-yearold Miller announced that he had been in love with 34-year-old minimalist painter Agnes Barley and had been living with her at his Connecticut farm since 2002, and that they intended to marry.
Later career
In 1964 Miller's next play was produced. After the Fall is a deeply personal view of Miller's experiences during his marriage to Monroe. The play reunited Miller with his former friend Kazan: they collaborated on both the script and the direction.
作品
《荣誉的真谛》(Honors at Dawn,1936) 《天之骄子》(The Man Who Had All the Luck,1944 《吾子吾弟》(All My Sons,1947) 《推销员之死》(Death of a Salesman,1949) 《熔炉》(The Crucible,1953) 《忆两个星期一》(A Memory of Two Mondays,1955) 《桥上一瞥》(A View from the Bridge,1955) 《堕落之后》(After the Fall,1964) 《维琪事件》(Incident at Vichy,1965) 《代价》(The Price,1968) 《创世纪及其他》(The Creation of the World and Other Business,1972)
In 1993, he was awarded the National Medal of Arts. Miller was honored with the PEN/Laura Pels International Foundation for Theater Award for a Master American Dramatist in 1998.
Miller died of heart failure after a battle against cancer, pneumonia and congestive heart disease at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut.
Legacy
Miller's career as a writer spanned over seven decades, and at the time of his death, Miller was considered to be one of the greatest dramatists of the twentieth century. After his death, many respected actors, directors, and producers paid tribute to Miller.
Arthur Asher Miller was an American playwright and essayist.
He was a prominent figure in American theatre, writing dramas that include plays such as All My Sons (1947)《全是 我的儿子》, Death of a Salesman (1949)《推销员之死》, The Crucible (1953)《炼狱》 and A View from the Bridge (1955)《桥头眺望》
In 1999 Miller was awarded The Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize, one of the richest prizes in the arts, given annually to "a man or woman who has made an outstanding contribution to the beauty of the world and to mankind’s enjoyment and understanding of life."
In 1983, Miller traveled to China to produce and direct Death of a Salesman at the People's Art Theatre in Beijing. The play was a success in China and in 1984, Salesman in Beijing, a book about Miller's experiences in Beijing, was published.
Miller wrote The Man Who Had All the Luck《天之骄 子》, which was produced in New Jersey in 1940 and won the Theatre Guild's National Award.
