    Miller's beautifully rendered allegory of rumor, ruin and integrity rightfully deserves its place among great dramas. Heart-wrenching and intense, The Crucible has quickly attained the status of a classic.

    The script for <The Crucible>, which was the 2nd play I watched with Tommy, Jeu and Eddie, if I remember it right.

    In a christian country, the breakout of witchcraft lead to a choice between faith or life for the townpeople. It is also a question of who has the authority to judge the others.

    "Is the accuser always holly?"

  • La caccia alle streghe di Salem come metafora della caccia ai comunisti durante la guerra fredda.

    "Because it is my name. Because I cannot have another in my life . . . How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name."

  • Based on historical people and real events, Arthur Miller's play uses the destructive power of socially sanctioned violence unleashed by the rumors of witchcraft as a powerful parable about McCarthyism.

  • This was another classic that I was not required to read, so I picked it up on my own.
