The Awakening of Arthur Miller Arthur J. Miller opened the eyes of the American people by using his stories to make a point about real world problems. “It is quite understandable that Miller should be regarded as a writer with a message, whether affirmative or negative, humane or socialistic. Arthur was trying to get the point across with his stories and plays, he was not a socialist or anything negative he is portrayed of being” (McCarthyism). Going against the odds, Arthur wrote about what he

During his writing of the crucible, Arthur Miller reflected his own personal experiences into the ideologies occurring throughout the book.
