    Hytner has done something startling with Miller's popular classic: he has made it pulsate with dramatic energy. And the opinion of this “energy” that is displayed throughout the movie is up to the viewer. In my case it just makes the film much more enjoyable than having to imagine the scenes play out in my head while reading the play. The devil may not be alive in Salem, but he lives undoubtedly in the minds of these young girls. They want to conjure the forbidden spirits, to experience the madness driven underground by a cold, repressed society. When they’re caught in the woods and put on trial for witchcraft, it sets off a chain reaction of accusations, denial, false confessions, and, you guessed it, more accusations. We're made to see a community engulfed by fear and paranoia, which blinds them of the simple truth.…

    The Salem Witch Trials are possibly the most notable examples of the persecution of witchcraft in the New World. In the 1996 film, The Crucible, based on the 1953 play by Arthur Miller, it portrays the trials from the point of view of a small community that’s disintegrated by frenzy and lunacy. In the film, it emphasizes the role of a group of girls being led by Abigail Williams, and illustrates how society was so strict for women, even as young as kids, that it caused a form of hysterical fear of witches, spirits and the Devil. These group of girls created an outlet of their own from their reality. The witch trials have been long used in political content as well as literature as a story to take into account how dangers of alienation, religious…

    This was a challenging book to write, but that was the goal. I had a list of things I wanted to hit with it, and if I could, I figured I might be alright at this writing thing after all. My goals were to touch on, writing from the view point of a seventeen-year-old girl as she wrote from the view point of her twenty-one-year-old self, not easy to do when you’re a thirty-six –year-old guy with no kids. I wrote my character Cera to have a rebellious, Southern rebel side to her, full of wittiness and sarcasm; I also wanted to hit on family strife and secrets. Of course, I wanted it to be a fun book about witches and witchcraft, for some reason not a lot of authors take on the genre. My audience? I think anybody can enjoy this story Y. A. on up.…

    The story began with the dancing of the girls in the forest. These girls were: Abigail Williams, Tituba, and Betty Parris. When the girls were seen they became scared and ran off. This is what led to the uprising in the town. Many people believed anything they heard or saw. They believed in an unconditional election in which God has no obligation to save anyone, no matter how little the problem is. The Puritans use this during the witch trials in which they hanged many people that were innocent of witchcraft. These hangings happened because everyone believed everything the girls said and showed. People in the crowd seemed awe struck by the girls and their ability to view people as witches or not. These hangings produced hysteria in the townspeople. In the story because of the dancing of the girls the priests of the town, Hale and Parris believed that the girls called the devil upon their town.
