“The Crucible” is a really twisted story where everyone
seems to go mad over one slight thing. Honestly I don’t like it because it’s
really idiotic. How can one teenage girl who ends up being a prostitute have so
much authority in Salem? How can everyone just believe what she says, when she’s
a conniving little girl?
What good was it to hang men on forced confessions? Everyone
in court was so eager and focused on what Abigail’s next accusation would be
and not factual evidence that would provide justice for the town of Salem. Hale
seemed to be the only one focused on doing the right thing and actually finding
proof before executions. But it took him
a while to believe in himself that he would be capable of doing so. In the beginning
he was very focused and excited on what the court would tell him to do. Then in
the end of the play he had become tired of the court’s game and realized that
they never really sought the truth but what they thought was right and wrong. Hale then became reassured in his abilities
and fought for justice.
Proctor was never really wrong to start with except for him committing
adultery, but other than that he was innocent in the whole witch problem. The fact that he refused to not speak of
other people’s sins and only speak of his own is respectable. But he did wait
too long to gather his courage and nerves to confess to the court, which if
done earlier could’ve saved more people’s lives.
Abigail was the one who really caused all of this drama
though. She was just too selfish and
probably insecure because she wanted what Elizabeth had with Proctor that she knew
she would never have.
Why wasn't the epilogue included in our Literature book? It contained
a lot of important information that could answer a couple of questions we had
in the end.
