Miller in the 21st century

Arthur Millers work was always relevant to the time frame he was in but also is relevant through most of time. As in death of a salesman he reveals traits of struggle, hardship and financial issues. This parallels with many of the problems facing our country as well as the rest of the world today. Even with that Millers work adapts well in todays culutre. As in his diverse character Willy. WIlly dealt with many relevant and real issues that even people in todays time battle with. One which is the biggest would be his pride. Pride is faced by everyone. Willy like people today want to support their families and be that provider, so it was only natural for Willy to chase his prime days where he was that great salesman. Also in Death of a salesman, lust and decite was captured which has been in human culture for all of its existence. So I think Miller would react the exact same as he did when he wrote all of his works. All of his ork has remained very relevant to todays issues and times.
