Arthur Miller’s A View from the Bridge came three years after Miller’s famous play called The Crucible, a play that addressed the issue of McCarthyism through the analogy of the Salem witch trials.
Arthur Miller was born in New York City in 1915. He worked in various jobs after high school, including one as a salesperson that inspired his later play The Death of a Salesman. A View from the Bridge was originally produced as a verse drama on Broadway in 1955 entitled The Hook (referring to the area called Red Hook where the play is set). It was based upon a true story of a Brooklyn dockworker who informed on two illegal immigrants. Most of the people in Red Hook originate from Sicily and the Sicilian code of honour is a running motif in the play. Italy also represents homeland, origin and culture to the citizens of Red Hook.
