I highly recommend this excellent work by Mr Ronald D. Johnson The Crucible by Arthur Miller is a very well written account of the Salem Witch Trials and provides an incredible portrait of the complexities of the human soul. It's hard to believe that people allowed this travesty to occur. Are there people today who would fall into this type of situation? Absolutely.That is what is so scary about the Salem Witch Hunt. We must continue to remember this event in order to make sure it doesn't happen again.I highly recommend this excellent work by Mr. Miller.. One of the masterpieces of US drama. Although it One of the masterpieces of US drama. Although it has four acts it flowed forcefully from the first to last page. A must for anyone interested in the theatre or US literature. In every respect, characterization, plot, dialogue and the interplay of all elements, an incredible and poetic work of art. It is about the only thing that separates the human race from all other species, integrity and values other than self preservation. One of the few plays in US literature that has the power of classical works of the Greeks and Shakespeare.. "A Curmudgeon Review" according to Greg Kingsley. Arthur Miller shows us the Salem witch hysteria with side notes allowing us faithful readers to compare McCarthyism from modern times to that. History shows us that taking a person's livelihood away is similar to killing them and demonstrates that educated modern Americans are no better than the 17th century zealots that hanged innocents. I truly believe that 21st century, militant liberals, communists and socialists would not be as angry if McCarthyism had never occured.
The play centers on the Salem witch trials of the late 17th century and the problem of guilt by association. FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY
