Examples Of Body Language In The Crucible
The play Crucible presented a unique example to what is portrayed in our class for expression of speech. With the same attributes, it surely does depict a professional manner of relaying information and conveying it to the audience without the action as one would display if they had no experience in speech. What I did notice in the play was the body language and speech pattern which I could recognize and judge thanks to what I learned in speech. To sum up their performance, I believe they did do a very good job. Only a few mistakes were present which were quickly corrected by the characters themselves.

    The overall message of Arthur Miller’s play, The Crucible, is that when uncontrolled hysteria is combined with ignorance, the outcome is tragic. While Miller offers his audience some comic dialogue to soften the events it does not mask the horrifying reality of the witch hunt and its aftermath. Rather, the humorous insights serve to reveal the simplicity and innocence of people living rustic lives in a God-fearing community. Several characters, Paris and Hale, Mary Warren and John Proctor, provide the audience with some comic dialogue, and Giles Corey is the most amusing character of them all.…
