Eddie accuses Rodolpho of being gay, and the kiss is meant to offer Catherine verification of this. Such circumstantial evidence is hardly condemning, and many have questioned whether Rodolpho is in fact gay, without any clear consensus. Others have persuasively postulated the possibility of Eddie’s gayness. However, the play’s “view” of events is from not Eddie’s point of view but Alfieri’s; he is the one standing on the metaphorical bridge with an ambiguous inability to become fully engaged, and it is his male gaze that honors Eddie. If anyone in this play could be “viewed” as gay, might we consider the lawyer, who confesses his attraction but feels he must couch his desire in metaphor.","PeriodicalId":40151,"journal":{"name":"Arthur Miller Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70791257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The young scholars argue that Katerina Ivanovna in Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment may have provided a literary model for the aging American salesman. The students cite biographical information to establish Miller’s reading of Crime and Punishment, and they analyze both texts to demonstrate that Katerina’s delusions of grandeur, her clinging to the past, her manipulation of her children, her jealousy and desperation may have burned a character type into Miller’s young mind.","PeriodicalId":40151,"journal":{"name":"Arthur Miller Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70791164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Death of a Salesman stages the Loman family in a time of turmoil, and the play ends in a tragic way with the death of Willy Loman. This article focuses on food, analyzing the ways in which nutriments and nutrition relate to social and family links, questioning the status and the role of food at family, social, and even political levels. From Linda’s offers to make sandwiches to Willy’s statement according to which “a man is not a piece of fruit!”—including, among others, the restaurant scene—this article shows how thanks to food-centered scenes, Miller exposes the deep alienation of human beings.","PeriodicalId":40151,"journal":{"name":"Arthur Miller Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70791615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
