There's Still Hope Left For Marilyn!

Summary:
Marilyn Monroe dreaded to have a child and saw the opportunity. She was so ecstatic when she was pregnant from Arthur Miller that she was very fearful to lose the child. Marilyn was ready to leave her bacchanalian lifestyle and settle down to have a child but she never got the opportunity to actually have and raise a human being. She started consuming pills and drinking alcohol because in a weird way she thought that was going to help her baby stay healthy, but apparently she was strongly mistaken since she had a miscarriage. After her baby died she fell into a strong depression and she started wondering why her baby died. She really wanted to have a baby but her desire soon came to a halt. Afterwards, Marilyn wasn't as enthusiastic about the movies but she still wanted to remain married to Miller, she actually had strong feelings for him.

Quote:
"From then on, her hopes of the film had died. But Marilyn's attitude to her marriage was a very different story. She was utterly determined to keep that dream alive" (Leaming 271).

Response:
The quote proves the point that I was talking about when I stated that Marilyn was willing to give up her acting career but she still wanted to keep the marriage she had with Miller. Miller showed that he really cared about her and he really helped her throughout her acting career especially since he was a movie director at the time. Nevertheless, they ended up getting a divorce on 1961.
