A joy to read

Out of all the plays which are in this book, A View from the Bridge has to be my favourite. Miller writes about family conflict, betrayal and love. Each time I read the play my views of Eddie change, is he an over protective family man or is he a man obsessed with power? Alfieri, the lawyer acts as a dramatic device, and in a way like a Greek chorus, giving the audience clues to what is going to happen. As we read we can see the tragedy unfold before us and we know that Catherine will fall in love with Rodolpho and that it will not end happily. Much like All my Sons and Death of a Salesman we do not read Miller's plays for a happy ending but to know what is going to happen and how. This book really is a must for all Miller fans.
