 The CrucibleHas anyone read this play by Arthur Miller? It focuses around the Salem Witch Trials and I think it's okay. Anyone else?

Re: The Crucible I read it for English class last year. It wasn't as terrible as some of the other stories we have to read.

Re: The Crucible Yeah, I'm reading it for English right now. It isn't that bad I guess, at least it's not that long

Re: The Crucible Yeah I had to read it last year and write an essay on it. It's okish I suppose, but I never really was keen on the older plays. I think there's already a topic for this somewhere, but maybe that's a different site...

Re: The Crucible It was written in the 1950's and was an analogy to the Red Scare and McCarthyism here in the USA at that time.

Re: The Crucible We acted out a part of it in Drama class a few weeks ago. I played the judge, Danforth. It was actually quite entertaining, in my point of view.

Re: The Crucible We did once last year, I think I was Hale.
I know, it is a whole lot more fun acting it out than sitting around reading it. Plays are meant to be acted, not read. It's even better when the other people actually try... _________________ :::Forum Rules:::Facebook:::Twitter::: Myn's Bio |

Re: The Crucible lol I actually know the characters you're talking about!
I doubt we're acting it out, we're not done it yet but we are going to watch the movie of it. so i guess its okay, it's still some type of visualization for it _________________

Re: The Crucible Same here, and the hardest thing of all is to act like a fool, or be embarassed in front of others.

Re: The Crucible I remember most of it, the witch hunt, the insanity that sweeps the town, people reviving old grudges, and being put to death for witchcraft.
