Answer to Question #102565 in English for Raheem

Question

Explain how Miller’s use of realism affects your understanding and appreciation of the drama and of the 1950s “Red Scare” in the United States.

Answer 1

Because Miller is interested in the actual struggles that many people faced during the late 1940s, he uses realistic characters that people can relate to. He illuminated the rough or seamy side of life and creating more believable character.The culture of fear and intolerance he saw victimizing his friends and coworkers is well described using realism hence making the drama well understood.
