Criza valorilor familiale – o perspectivă milleriană
Family Values in Crisis – Arthur Miller’s Perspective

Summary/Abstract: In 1991, Miller wrote two plays which dealt with what appeared to be an issue related to the private sphere of the individual. However, not only that The Ride down Mt. Morgan as well as The Last Yankee turned out to be more than two plays based on private failure but they managed to survive time and stir emotion in the audience even today, more than twenty years later, due to the powerful issues they stage. Family rupture is an issue today as much as in the 1990s; its deepest causes are to be found at the socio-economic level to the same extent as its consequences determine the structure of our society. The topic had haunted Miller for most of his career and formed the focus of some of his most famous plays: All My Sons (1947), Death of a Salesman (1949), The Price (1967), The American Clock (1980). Arthur Miller’s work has proven timeless and this is also due to the topics he addressed in his 1991 plays – The Ride down Mt. Morgan and The Last Yankee.
