Reading this was a loaded experience, and gives me a new perspective on the character that I am portraying in JPITV this fall. The prose is so beautiful; I am a huge Arthur Miller fan in this respect. However, I take issue with his portrayal of women so deeply in this play. I know it is marked by the time in which it was written, but I see why it is so easily criticized and tend to agree with the criticisms.
