Paper Abstract: (Arthur Miller). Critical appreciation of play about destructiveness of man's selfishness and greed. Paper Introduction: This study will present a critical appreciation of Arthur Miller's The Ride Down Mt. Morgan. The key to a full appreciation of this play is found in the playwright's "Staging Note": The play veers from the farcical to the tragic and back again and should be performed all-out in both directions as the situation demands, without attempting to mitigate the extremes (Staging Note). Miller was in the twilight of his career when he wrote the play, and with such a staging note it is clear that he is trying to break free of constructions which he has labored under in earlier plays. Certainly his most famous work is thoroughly tragic, with little humor and certainly less farce. In The Ride Down Mt. Morgan, Miller wants to present a play which will defy his image as an exclusively tragic writer, but at the same time Text of the Paper: The entire text of the paper is shown below.
