Two Households, Both Alike in Dignity

All My Sons by Arthur Miller

January 30, 2023 by jeverett15 1 Comment

The last book I reviewed for this site was Janice Hallett’s The Appeal, in which most of the characters were involved with an amateur production of Arthur Miller’s All My Sons. Though it was clearly tangential to the plot and unnecessary to parse the mystery, I was still a tad embarrassed to be unfamiliar with the play. So I decided to rectify that. Miller’s play tells the story of two families, the Kellers and the Deevers, who used to be next-door neighbors. The fathers were […]

All My Sons In this play, we find ourselves looking in on two families torn apart by the war in a specific way. Joe Keller runs a machine factory that was refitted to build airplane parts during the war. The factory came under fire when a shipment of faulty parts that led to at least 29 deaths of airmen. Consequent of that Joe Keller was tried but exonerated when a second in command took the fall. The general belief is that Joe was innocent and […]

Oedipus – No Rating This is about the fiftieth time I’ve read this play, and I always enjoy it. It’s one of those plays I read when I was moving from being a reader to being a thinker about reading. I even wrote an essay about it in tenth grade. I have no clue what I wrote, but I started it at 10 pm the night before it was due. I had already gone to bed and then I suddenly remembered it. I think I […]

Still Alarm by George S Kaufman

The Penguin Book of Modern American Short Story – 4/5 Stars Its important to emphasize that this is a collection from about 1970 on, so while it’s “modern” it means contemporary and while it’s contemporary, it’s decidedly more recent than the normal break in American lit at WWII. This is important because it means that a lot of very well-known and established short-fiction writers like John Cheever, Donald Barthelme, John Updike, Flannery O’Connor, and Bernard Malamud are not considered. Otherwise it would seem to me […]

An acclaimed Arthur Miller play with mixed results

The Crucible by Arthur Miller

August 12, 2017 by bonnie Leave a Comment

I never read The Crucible in high school, but The Chancellor’s taught it to his American Literature class before, and he’s talked to me about Arthur Miller and the ideas he wrote about in his plays. Plus, I’d seen the AWFUL adaptation that was quite thick on nakedness and a bit thin on thematic development, so I was curious to see how the play would stack up. And, let’s not forget that we’re living in a weird hybrid McCarthyistic/Nixonian era that I thought only existed […]
