One of Miller's more acclaimed plays, however it left me unfinished. The topics that are dealt with (i.e., mental health, domestic abuse, adultery, racism) were certainly hot albeit taboo topics when the play was originally written. However, Miller is a master playwright, as we see in his more well-known works (The Crucible, Death of a Salesman, and After the Fall), that can handle controversial topics with great deft. This play, however, never seems to come to full sense of itself. It is compelling and unnerving with an ending that is not quite satisfying, which I believe Miller wanted. However it just feels like there is something missing here, something that I just cannot put my finger on.
