I loved this story in high school and love it now. These girls (Abigail, Betty, Mary Warren) are like the original Mean Girls. The hysteria is fascinating to me. I also liked the dramatic re-enactment as opposed to stiff reading of the text.
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,...

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! :)
I'm not one to sit down and read a play, but this one really got my attention when we read it in high school English. The characters stuck in my mind. I read the part of Elizabeth in class, and I really immersed myself in her character. So much that when I saw the movie with Joan Allen, I didn't re...
I was just reminded of this play by a friend looking for books on the Red Scare. The only one I could remember was this allegory of the McCarthy era by Arthur Miller. Can anyone think of any others? I was forced to read this in highschool and I completely hated it. Then one day I picked it up and...
