Publisher Description

In the rigid theocracy of Salem, Massachusetts, rumors that women are practicing witchcraft galvanize the town. In the ruthlessness of the prosecutors and the eagerness of neighbor to testify against neighbor, The Crucible mirrors the anti-Communist hysteria in the 1950s.

"I appreciate well-written allegories, and while The Crucible wasn't amazing, its dialogue was definitely believable and even hilarious at some parts. At other parts, it was a bit dry, but I still enjoyed it nevertheless. Perhaps it is not entirely relevant today, since the Red Scare is over, but themes of the book - relating to hasty accusations and so forth - still exist today of course."

    " Amazing to think of the great impact this book has had on me since it was a mandatory read in high school. It is the foundation for my long understanding and support for the separation of church and state. "

    " personally I disliked it. I had to read it for an assignment, and my teacher told us that she wouldn't make us read it if it weren't for the fact that it was required. our teacher told us she thought the book was pointless and my classmates and I all agreed "

    " I realize it is a classic, however I found it tedious and somewhat boring. I also wanted to choke those stupid girls. I can't believe this is what the middle school kids are expected to read. No wonder kids today don't want to read. "

    " Too melodramatic; Miller should have capitalised on the MANY comedic possibilities this book had. It still has some good things about it "

    " Engrossing cannot put down-first read it in school-University of British Columbia-not part of curriculum-took it as a fine work but had no idea of course-today? I see it in the world-all over-irrational fear, hatred, all as it was and apparently shall be-now and forever more "

    " Arthur Miller's historical play is about the witch killings in Salem, Massachusetts 1692. It shows how easily a community that is repressed through religious dogma,back breaking discipline and negative leadership can turn ugly, as repressions are unleashed. "

    " Usually when you read a book in school (especially in high school) the experience is tainted by quizzes, tests and papers. This is one of the few books that I remember LOVING even though it was for a high school class. "

    " Well, i guess it was okay. A tad weird, and kind of sad. But when you're reading about America's darkest chapter, i guess it has to be that way. But, if it wasn't for an English, i never would have considered reading this book. ._. "
