Final Jeopardy! category: 20TH CENTURY PLAYWRIGHTS
Final Jeopardy! clue/answer: He said of his 1949 play & its main character, “I could write about failure only because I could deal with it…I knew how he felt”
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Josiah Drewien, an engineer & off-grid homesteader from Hayden Lake, Idaho
Christy Karras, a writer & editor from Seattle, Washington

The article in which Arthur Miller speaks about failure (and a few other items that may raise the eyebrow of a more prudish sort) appeared in Esquire in 2003. The quote above was a reference to Willy Loman, the title character of his well-known play Death Of A Salesman.
