Product Description

 
Set during the Salem witchcraft trials, this play is most famous for its metaphor for McCarthyism--in fact, three years after the play was produced, Miller himself was called before HUAC. In the play, Miller used colonial language to near-poetic effect; the plot involves characters who have to make certain moral choices concerning their communities and their friends. Miller explores the handy scapegoat that an accusation of witchcraft can be: a father can dismiss his daughter's behavior, a landowner can acquire still more land, a serving girl can attract attention to herself, and emotions can be displaced onto other people. Miller fully explores the power of an accusing figure.

YOU WITCH!

Date of Review:  Feb 2, 2000
Review: I read this book recently this year in my junior english class. I thought that it was going to be a dumb and boring book because they (teachers) do not usually pick good books for us to read in class. Was I wrong! The play hooked me from the very...

Cry Witch

Date of Review:  Mar 9, 2000
Review: I have just finished reading Arthur Millers' The Crucible, and found it a rather disturbing book. The accusations of witchcraft in Salem all taken seriously, definately say something about the society in the US in the seventeenth century...
