Examine Miller's dramatic technique, with particular reference to the following:
             § The significance of the opening stage directions and its later implications in the play
             § Miller's use of speech and stage directions to present Marco to the audience at the end of act one.
             § How Miller uses speech and stage directions to direct the audience's sympathies towards Marco or Eddie in the closing scenes of the play.
