Hi everyone,
I started looking into a few more aspects that it would be good to discuss in our essays, and here's some starting points for you.
I haven't put them in the bars to the side because they take a little explanation.
To begin, I know we already discussed Miller's juxtaposing of time & space, but you'll want to read this article anyway. Very good stuff.
I found a link on Naturalistic vs Realism theatre conventions, and while the lead-up explanation initially looks promising, it turns out to mostly be a lot of waffling smothered in smart words. That said, the bulletpoints on Naturalist conventions are pretty thought-provoking, so scroll down to that. The discussion responses to the initial post may also give some good insights.
A google search of Expressionism will also be quite telling. Look up the Wiki page for what its purpose was; try to figure out the essence of this style and how it applies to our text.
That said, apparently Expressionism was developed as a departure from Naturalism and Realism conventions. This is a great essay written on how Arthur Miller successfully uses both styles simultaneously.
That should be enough for now. Enjoy!
- T. Marcus
