Description

This paper focuses on Miller’s impact on the suppression of
female character in Broken Glass. The play was written in the decade
of nineties and forms a kind of continuum- the common theme of
dysfunctional marriage and family is at the core of the play. The
woman character is again represented in a negative way, in the
play. Miller is concerned here with the paralysis of a nation or an
individual conscience in face of increasing anti- Semitism in Europe
and America. Broken Glass, set in Brooklyn in November 1938, is a
two act play that explores the themes of sexual awakening, the result
of denial and effect of social injustice on an individual.
