Who are the main characters typically in Arthur Miller short stories?

The main characters are often scientists or explorers. They are curious and driven by the thirst for knowledge. They are brave enough to take on the unknown, like venturing into space or exploring uncharted territories on Earth.

Some main characters are visionary leaders. In Clarke's stories, these leaders are able to see the potential of new technologies or the importance of certain scientific missions. They are the ones who inspire others to follow their lead, whether it's in building a new space station or in exploring a distant planet. They have strong personalities and the ability to make tough decisions in the face of uncertainty.

There are also stories where the main character is an older person looking back on their life. They might be reminiscing about past loves or mistakes they made. These characters often have a lot of wisdom to share, even if they've had a difficult life.

Henry Miller's short stories feature a range of characters. There are the wanderers, those who are not satisfied with the sedentary life and are constantly on the move, seeking new experiences. Then there are the intellectuals, who are deep in thought, grappling with big ideas about life, art, and society. There are also the misfits, those who don't fit into the normal social order. These characters interact in various ways, sometimes clashing, sometimes finding common ground, all while Miller uses them to tell stories about the human experience in all its complexity.

Another theme is the exploration of human nature. Miller often delved into the darker aspects of human nature, such as greed, envy, and the capacity for self - deception. His characters are complex and not always morally upright, which makes for interesting reading as we see the different facets of human behavior.

Linda Loman is an important character as well. She is the voice of reason in the family. She tries to hold the family together while Willy is on his downward spiral. She loves Willy deeply but also sees his problems clearly. For example, she is aware of Willy's financial struggles and his mental instability, yet she continues to support him.

Arthur is a main character, of course. He is the king and the central figure around which the stories revolve.

There are also characters who are more on the fringes of society. Machen liked to use these types of characters to show different perspectives. They might be hermits or people with a somewhat seedy past, and their unique outlooks play important roles in the development of the stories.

To be honest, it's a bit hard to say exactly how many short stories Arthur Miller wrote. There's no straightforward answer as it can be a matter of interpretation and what's considered a 'short story' by different standards.

Often they are ordinary people, like working - class individuals, children, and immigrants.
