Rating:  Summary: a secod level play Review: how can authur miller create such a ridiculus story and so many stupid characters
Rating:  Summary: The courage to stand up for one's beliefs under fire. Review: A play about one against many, right against wrong, and the outcome of it all. Witchcraft is peripheral - perhaps even the political connotations associated with the McCarthy era.Courage is key here: John Proctor who was confused but stood up to it all; Giles who kept his mum and died free; Hale who stood up to the fact that everything was screwed up. And the cowards - Danforth who refused to admit his wrong in the face of extreme doubt; Mary who gave in to Abigail, and etc. An emotionally enriching play worth the read.
Rating:  Summary: It really makes you think! Review: I read this book for my 8th grade English class and the whole class thought it was great. It really made us think about morals and doing whats right. We all really loved it because the characters were very real and you really got to know the characters. The play was very well writen and really came alive in your hands. Millers a great writer and The Crucible is a great book!!
Rating:  Summary: Astounding realism, excellent historical writing Review: This is, without a doubt, Arthur Miller's masterpiece-his crown achievement. I read this play cover to cover in about an hour, only because I am a slow reader. Otherwise, I would have finished it much quicker. AMAZING. This man knows his stuff, and he can craft it like no one else into a spellbinding play. In my opinion, Shakespeare blows compared to Miller. If you want to read the greatest play ever written, read The Crucible by Arthur Miller.
Rating:  Summary: Theology and Witchcraft Review: In this play, the government of Salem was theology. The people believed in God and viewed the Bible as their law. Those people were very uneducated and superstitious. Believing the existence of witchcraft, they accused innocent people with some ridiculous evidences or even without any proofs. I feel very sorry for those who died. If you do not have time to sit down and read this book, you can go rent a movie, which is almost the same as the book. Video tape for this play is available. If you are interested in this play, go ahead and rent it. This book/movie is worth to read/see.
Rating:  Summary: what makes playwriting an art.. Review: The Crucible fulfills the primary responsibility of a piece of dramatic work: to involve the reader/audience completely in the story. The Crucible does so with beautiful writing and poignant and very real emotions- despite the colonial setting any reader can relate. And if, perhaps, the reader has interest in the theatre or in acting, the experience is then indescribable- any actor must know that the opportunity to portray Abigail Williams, John or Elizabeth Proctor or any of the other moving characters would indeed be a gift. Read this!
Rating:  Summary: Unhumorful comedy? Review: Why exactly is this novel considered a hilarious look at witchcraft?!? This book had absolutely NO humor in it. It was fairly good, but I still think they should take the comedy part out of it!
Rating:  Summary: ONE OF THE BEST PLAYS OUT THERE!!!!!! Review: The Crucible is one of the most powerful plays I've ever read . I'm only 14, but that still says a lot. Right from the beginning , I was addicted and couldn't get away from it. Arthur Miller is incredible.READ THIS & you will thank me!!!
Rating:  Summary: The Crucible Review: This book is great, in fact, it's one of the best books I've ever read. I had to play Abigail in my english class.
Rating:  Summary: It was kind of confusing at first, but then it was real good Review: This play I read was confusing at first but it was real good in the second act. I read this play in class in Petersburg, Va, at Petersburg High School. When we read it in class and my teacher explained it, then I knew what it meant, but when we had to read it at home, it was very confusing. But overall, it was very good!
