About This Novel
"Everything about her belongs to her, and everything about me belongs to me." - "The Conscience of American Drama" Arthur Miller's spiritual confession, the stock market crash, the Holocaust, the witch hunt and the private memories of a generation of famous actors. It was translated by Mr. Guo Jide, a senior drama research expert, and published in a Chinese version for the first time in China. When the "great American mind" meets the "great American body," "Mr. Monroe" said that you can be hesitant when you are alone, but you must be firm when you share the same bed. After the Fall is a two-act play written by Arthur Miller in 1964. The script has a strong autobiographical flavor, and is a summary and retracement of Miller's failed marriage to his second wife, Marilyn Monroe: the protagonist Quentin is a lawyer in New York. While reviewing his 25 years of life experience, including family tragedies caused by the stock market crash, precarious friendships due to McCarthy's "witch hunt", and a painful marriage, he reflects on what is moral and what is human nature. Finally, I realized that human beings have had the sinful instinct since Adam committed original sin and fell. Only realizing that love is not enough, we need to face life without fear. It is worth noting that the script boldly innovates in the narrative form, advancing the plot with a non-linear stream of consciousness, and realizing the free switching of the characters' perspectives. Some Western critics believe that Miller dared to expose his soul and wrote a profound autobiographical document that can be compared with O'Neill's "Long Day's Journey Into Night".
