Both plays were full of tragedy and tortured characters. I am in love with how Miller soaks the pages in heartbreak, loss, conviction, and tears. The second story, "All My Sons" is especially prone to making you gape in awe with its low stakes but high tension.

A view from the Bridge 3 Stars
All my Sons 5 Stars

A View From The Bridge was... good. The fact that I don't really have much to say about it pretty much sums up the book. Everything is placed in a nice little package for you with no questions asked or received at the end.

There’s some homophobia in there.
