“Writing Styles of Arthur Miller”

Arthur Miller was an influential American playwright. Miller, in his career, wrote a number of
works in a large variety of genres. His pieces of writing focused on everyday lives of the
common people, their struggles, tragedies, and hardships they confronted. At his early age,
Miller performed the jobs like a driver, a clerk, etc. to earn livelihoods needed for subsistence.
The idea of working-class people as protagonists in his plays, for the most part, is attributable to
the jobs he did which later made him closer to such class.

Miller’s work never left the society and the individual out. He believed that both of them will go
hand-in-hand because a common man lives in a society and the play should always portray the
interaction between these two. Ever since Miller started his writing career, he tried hard to
convey themes with a more pragmatic style, hence, the relational combination of the society and
the man. Arthur Miller spoke out the objective realities about the man living in a society.

I believe Miller has been a blessed writer because his prominence lies in his ingenious aptitude to
control what he wanted his audience to visualize. The precision in selecting and using the words
is worthwhile in Miller’s writing. This fact is reflected from his quality of producing clear, visual
themes that always aimed at the ground realities. Miller’s most of the writing revolved around
the ethical issues which persisted in US Society. That is why Arthur Miller believed that the
American society needed to be transformed totally.

Arthur Miller’s allegorical work, for its focus on social context, shall be greatly remembered and
revered in the world of literature.
