Abstract
This paper summarizes the dramaturgy commonly used in Arthur Miller's seven major plays and analyzes the male desires that appeared in the features. Most of his plays are men's tragedies that show their desperate efforts and pains of being unable to become real men. This study analyzes why men in Miller's plays must fight and pay a high price. His plays consistently reveal the male bonds for success, the rejection of maternal myths, and opposing views on women. Miller portrays fathers' pain or desires for immortality by his sons powerfully. Criticizing his dramaturgy from sociological, cultural, and psychoanalytic perspectives provides a theoretical possibility to reinterpret men's desires. The unchanging faith in his play is the Adam/Eve myth based on the Old Testament, in which the reader points out Miller's male-oriented playwrights and discovers the roles of men and women who influenced him.
