The Crucible Movie And Book Comparison

The movie is better than the novel because it has many details that the novel does not have the part in the beginning where the dad gets pinned to the ground by a tree and then gets sick and dies a few days later but in the novel he is just

The story called “The Crucible” I explain the different interpretations between the film and the book. Showing how Nicholas Hytner the movie director pictured of how it went in the book. Arthur Miller the story writer, showed alternate ways of how he put the book together. I will show textual evidence to support my interpretations. Explaining how I see it between the book, and film of “The Crucible.”

For the time that stands in this moment let us change our perspective to those who took the stage of a perfidy, the point of view from those in The Crucible and The Scarlet Letter. Both stories follow the same path, when it comes to sharing a focal point with the protagonist, and then switching over to the viewpoint of an antagonist. In The Scarlet Letter a chapter switches from the eyes of Hester to the eyes of Dimmesdale, but The Crucible's change in viewpoints was through discussion. Their discussions being of a society that condemns sinners, Puritan ruled America, and an open, biased, opinion towards accused and those "caught in the act."

The Crucible is a story written about the Salem Witch Trials which took place in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. The story revolves around a Puritan town in which accusations of Witchcraft had been made. Several girls, who were led and manipulated by Abigail Williams, were found dancing in the forest naked. Abigail had manipulated the girls into lying saying they saw the devil and that spirits were coming upon them. The townspeople were being falsely accused and hanged if they did not confess to the Witchcraft.

A book and a play, both are extremely widely read and interpreted in countless different ways. These two are thought to be prime examples of American Literature. Arthur Miller was born on October 17, 1915, and he published his play, The Crucible, in January of 1953. Nathaniel Hawthorne was born on July 4, 1804, and his book, The Scarlet Letter, came out to print in March of 1850. These two types of literature were published roughly 100 years apart, so there are minute changes in the way they were written. Both are set in early 1700’s Massachusetts, but The Crucible is in Salem, and The Scarlet Letter is set in Boston. There are many similarities and differences between the two, the biggest three are how adultery plays a role in puritan

they ran to the back of the stage, it was like a camera zooming out.

Both in the novel The Scarlet Letter, written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, and the play The Crucible, written by Arthur Miller, women play an important role in the story. Whether it’s for the good of the town or for the worse is the main difference in the stories. Both take a different view on women, and make them the main driving feature of the story, leading to be an interesting comparison when put side by side.

We all read books and then watched the movie based on the book, but they’re always a difference between the both even though there about the same story. Even though you read or watched “The Crucible” is still a great story of believing witches exist, they both have the same concepts it still has their differences on their point of views of the story.

Arthur Miller’s The Crucible has been published in many textbooks, and taught to high school students as American Literature. The written play has characterization that makes you feel what certain characters feel. It has been performed on many different stages and even made into a movie.The written version of The Crucible characterized the people of Salem, Massachusetts better than the movie, by giving John Proctor a connection with the reader, and the people of Salem a personality, even though the movie version had many nominees and won awards.

The past, the present and the future all have one similarity: time. The past can either be one’s burden or blessing. The present takes into account how one’s past affects the choices they make that will inevitably affect the future. The future is the product of the past and the present along with the sense and image of the future. These three timely qualities are present in the quote, “We are all serving a life-sentence in the dungeon of self”, by Cyril Connolly. The “life-sentence” is caused by the past, the “serving” is the present, and the “self” is the future of who someone is. Along with the quote, the past, present, and future are thoroughly established The Crucible by Arthur Miller as well through a sin, a choice, and a name. I agree

Government is a basic system that all civilized people live under. Which government is a better system for serving its people: the government in The Crucible by Arthur Miller or the one in Lord of the Flies by William Golding? None of the two governments are suitable for their people because of their type of governing, their foundations and their political intolerance.

(A comparison of the themes and messages in Arthur Miller’s The Crucible and Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter)

The film version of The Crucible depicts the play achieving several depth by depth characteristics that are very similar to the play. The film The Crucible (1996) is introduced chronologically, comparing side by side it is very exact to that of the play. This whole film is based on one simple element and that is witchcraft, the Salem Witch Trials which killed 19 innocent lives who were believed to be associated with the Devil, and believed they were witches that had the ability to fly wherever and whenever they wanted to.

“I love you John Proctor.” A simple, romantic confession to those who have never seen or read the Crucible. However those who have been exposed to The Crucible will know that those words are laced with jealousy. How one may view the crucible is decided by their good judgement, however how they view it might make-or-break their experience of “getting to know” the characters.

‘The Crucible’ and ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’ are books that both present us with ‘men of conscience’ but show them in very different ways. In the play of ‘The Crucible’ one of the main characters is called John Proctor, I will be comparing John Proctor to Atticus Finch, the father of the main character Scout in the novel ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’. The authors Arthur Miller and Harper Lee show how these are ‘men of conscience’ and how both of these characters think about the wellbeing of those around them and do what they think it’s right, whether or not the go about it the right way.
