When ruling is based, and made stringent, on fear of an outside opponent, and someone has the brilliant idea of escalating yet to marking a personal opponent as an outsider, and it catches. Might be easier to stomach going in without knowing how the episode goes and likely part of the reason that ...
Many people debate which play would be considered to be the greatest play written by an American and to be honest this play comes pretty close. However, I am not a really big fan of American Literature (in the same way that I am not a really big fan of Australian Literature). I think it would be str...
This is one of the few plays I remember reading in high school and I've been wanting to revisit it for a while, but never got around to it. While it isn't entirely historically accurate, I think it is a fascinating, and somewhat frightening, look at the actions of a society in the midst of hysteria....
I hate to rate this so low when it seems that the only people who do so are those forced to read it by a cruel teacher. I'm even more troubled by the fact that I haven't seen anyone else bring up what bothers me about this play.Yes, it's well written -- that is, the dialogue is expertly handled. The...
I read Death of a Salesman in high school and it did absolutely nothing for me. Now I've read this play and it also did nothing at all for me.I should like this play. I have read about the European Witch Trials, especially the Scottish ones and I find them fascinating. I am strongly interested in...
Maybe studying this book in school has soured my opinion of it, but I can't say I enjoyed it all that much. Still, definitely not a terrible book, and I won't bother rating it because SCHOOL-BIAS.
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...
