View From The Bridge Critique

Arthur Miller’s A View from the Bridge is a modern tragedy set in 1950’s Brooklyn about a man’s obsession with his niece, and what that obsession ultimately brings about. Eddie Carbone, the protagonist of the play also happens to be the antagonist, because he ultimately is fighting against himself with his desires for his niece. I believe that this play was very predictable from the start; this is why I really did not …

…play was average at best. The events in characters in this play were just a little too convenient for me. I have read some of Miller’s other plays such as The Crucible and Death of a Salesman; I believe this play to be below those standards. However I also saw those plays on the stage, perhaps if I saw A View from the Bridge on stage, I would get a different perspective of it.
