Moreover, the characters are related to each other through social and blood bonds. Most of the characters are one sided ones; they are seen from the external scope with a slight glimpse of what they feel. Their inner feelings are felt in their trembling voices so there is no need for direct declarations for what they really feel. Miller’s choice of the characters’ names is very smart and expressive. Joe Keller his name is a manipulation for the adjective killer, the name is indicating to his crime in an indirect way. The critics argue that Chris’ name might be interpreted as the Christ who has lost his faith in his father, and failed to bring back his brother Larry to life. In this sense Larry’s name was compared to Lazarus (Abbotson 47).
