I enjoyed this book the first time I read it. But then they made me read it every single year I was in high school. It got old fast. For a classic, it's good enough.
I didn’t expect to like this as much as I did. I’m not a huge fan of reading plays, as I’d rather see them performed than just try to grasp each character through nothing but dialogue and stage directions. However, I found myself drawn to the characters and their situations. Years of United States h...
I appreciate well-written allegories, and while The Crucible wasn't amazing, its dialogue was definitely believable and even hilarious at some parts. At other parts, it was a bit dry, but I still enjoyed it nevertheless. Perhaps it is not entirely relevant today, since the Red Scare is over, but the...
I guess anyone who is persecuted claims innocence. For Arthur Miller to attempt to link the MaCarthur communist hunt to the salem witch hunt type of mentality is crazy. First off, though the communist hunt did terrorize aspects of America and wrongfully accuse many people it did find verifiable comm...
On my son's year 12 English list for next year, so thought I'd read it: fascinating in terms of structure, dramatics, character and theme. It is obvious why this makes the syllabus in our contemporary period of left-ist fed liberalism triumphant in the intellectual world, since Miller was in the mid...
Miller makes it very clear what happens when people make each other crazy and the (too big a) role the church and religion play in it. His writing leaves no mistake, the play is well written, but sometimes I was lost. I think that was, because of the subject that doesn’t really appeal to me,...
"I’ll tell you what’s walking Salem—-vengeance is walking Salem. We are what we always were in Salem, but now the little crazy children are jangling the keys of the kingdom, and common vengeance writes the law!"Such is the power of those noticeable quotes in Arthur Miller's play The Crucible; the po...
Update: 22 NovI'm listening to an interview with David Suchet just before he goes on to the stage to do this play. He talks about how to keep fresh and eager and new for every performance of a long-running play. I imagine, he says, that there will be just one person, just one who has never been to t...
Not being a huge Arthur Miller fan, I loved The Crucible. I couldn't help it but to have my heart break with the main character. Furthermore, I have a fascination with the Salem Witch Trials, so this book fit right into there. Like most, I had to read it in high school. Unlike most, although I know ...
Well … honestly we only read parts of it in my English class, and we also watched the movie. But I loved what I read/saw. I am fascinated by the Salem Witch Trials, and I think it's a really cool story! :)
