Critical Reception and Controversies

Throughout his career, Miller's work received both high praise and criticism. While plays like "Death of a Salesman" and "The Crucible" were immediate classics, some critics felt that his later works didn't live up to the standard set by his early successes.

Miller's political views and activities also influenced how his work was received. His refusal to name names during the McCarthy era earned him respect from many, but also made him enemies. Some critics accused him of being didactic or overly political in his writing.
