![]() ![]() The rest of us know that though we can have erotic love and friendship for the same person yet in some ways nothing is less like a Friendship than a love-affair. ![]() “Those who cannot conceive Friendship as a substantive love but only as a disguise or elaboration of Eros betray the fact that they have never had a Friend. Nothing so enriches an erotic love as the discovery that the Beloved can deeply, truly and spontaneously enter into Friendship with the Friends you already had to feel that not only are we two united by erotic love but we three or four or five are all travelers on the same quest, have all a common vision.” But you will have no jealousy at all about sharing the Friendship. If one who was first, in the deep and full sense, your Friend, is then gradually or suddenly revealed as also your lover you will certainly not want to share the Beloved’s erotic love with any third. But this, so far from obliterating the distinction between the two loves, puts it in a clearer light. ![]() And conversely, erotic love may lead to Friendship between the lovers. Indeed, unless they are physically repulsive to each other or unless one or both already loves elsewhere, it is almost certain to do so sooner or later. “When the two people who thus discover that they are on the same secret road are of different sexes, the friendship which arises between them will very easily pass – may pass in the first half hour – into erotic love. ![]()

Still, even at the London premiere of the masterpiece in 1956, the critic Kenneth Tynan observed: “We can now judge not as an anti-McCarthyite tract but as a devouring study in mass hysteria”. In the juvenile-led spasm of denunciation and execution that seized Salem, Massachusetts in 1692-3, which saw hundreds accused of witchcraft and many townsfolk sent to the gallows, Miller found a chilling correlative – and quasi-allegory – for the career-wrecking zeal of Republican senator Joseph McCarthy and his kind.
