'A View from the Bridge' - the role of women
Through developing the role of the women in 'A View From the Bridge', Arthur Miller explains how this changed the emphasis of the play. It made the story more 'palpable', less Greek and more American. A clip from the 1961 Paramount Pictures film and commentary exemplify the point that the issues explored in the play, as a girl develops into a woman, are universal and still have relevance today.
