AI notes: Arthur Miller (1915–2005) was one of the most important American playwrights of the 20th century, renowned for his penetrating examinations of morality, social responsibility, and the individual’s struggle against societal pressure. Born in New York City to a Jewish immigrant family, Miller drew deeply on American life and history in works such as Death of a Salesman (1949), which redefined tragedy through the character of Willy Loman, and The Crucible (1953), an allegorical response to McCarthyism that used the Salem witch trials to explore hysteria and moral courage. His other notable plays include All My Sons (1947), A View from the Bridge (1955), and After the Fall (1964). Miller was also a prolific essayist and public intellectual, often addressing politics, ethics, and the artist’s role in society; he famously refused to cooperate fully with the House Un-American Activities Committee. Awarded the Pulitzer Prize and multiple Tony Awards, Miller left a lasting legacy as a dramatist who challenged audiences to confront uncomfortable truths about the American Dream and human accountability.
