Wow. I had forgotten that he was still alive. Definitely a biggy.

For some odd reason, I read that it was Arthur Dent that died... :wtf:

Arthur Miller... Why does he sound so familiar? Who was he again?

One of the greatest playwrights of the twentieth century. His two most famous were "Death of a Salesman" and "The Crucible." He probably won't get due recognition in the current political climate because he was one of the few people who took a stand against McCarthyism.

Although he was married to Marilyn Monroe, which anyone has to respect. ;7

I rather respect his opinion of Marilyn, "hopelessly self-destructive" were his words, than his mariage to her.

A great has passed, and I doub't we'll see another like him.

The Crucible... a quality play. Read it for the second time this year.
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

I read the Crucible my...sophomore? year in HS so I don't exactly have very fond memories of it. Except it was fun doing dramatic reading for John Proctor. ;)

I did study a scene in-depth from Death of a Salesmen; I can't say that I really liked the plot in the scene that I read, but it was very well written. I argued for literally hours about motivations, connections, psyche, etc of Happy and Biff, going by that one scene. That it was written in six weeks is amazing.

Truly a loss.
