In the crucible there are many similarities and differences between the book and the movie. While some are very noticeable others are quite hidden. Watching the movie after reading the book really helped pick out differences between the two. While reading the book you had a visual in your head of what is happening in the book. When a scene seems different than what you saw in your head it was easy to differ the two. While reading the book I had a quite different visual than the movie. Things I noticed different was the way I viewed the surroundings, character traits, and the way characters looked. I viewed the background as filled with trees and houses close together. In the movie the background was more spaced out and full of farmland.
Comparing the book to the movie you can clearly tell what certain things are different. For example, Sydelle Pulaski worked for Mr. Westing in the movie but only talked over the intercom. This not only caused a lot of drama but more depth to the plot. Also, Crow didn’t go to jail but they did talk about most of the consequences of her going to jail. This made a little bit more serious and emotional instead of just letting it go.
There were also major historical differences between the two films. First, both films played off of the fear that Americans had at the times that the movies were set in. This is where the difference lies. In the 1962 version, the major fear was communism, and in the 2004 version it was terrorism. The 1962 version was set in the late 1950’s where Communism was more of a fear to Americans than anything else and McCarthyism was at its peak. “Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the Communist party?” Late into the 1950s, thousands of Americans who worked in the government, served in the army, or had any important position in the U.S. had to answer that question before a congressional panel and the American public (Ushistory.org).

The Crucible takes place during the Salem Witch Trails in 1692. It was originally written as a play in 1954 by Arthur Miller and was later adapted into a movie, directed by Nicolas Hytner. The movie falls into the historical fiction genre because it’s a fictional story based off of actual events. The film stayed fairly true to history, the characters were similar to the real people and their fates remained the same. Some parts of history had to be altered of dramatized to make the story line more entertaining for a typical audience. Although the story between Abigail Williams, the main antagonist, and John Proctor, the main protagonist, was fictional, The Crucible did a fantastic job of staying accurate to history.
Arthur Miller’s The Crucible is an iconic piece of literature that was published in the 1950’s. When Arthur Miller wrote The Crucible, the United States was in the middle of the McCarthyism era where innocent people were being accused of treason without the proper evidence (“Joseph R. McCarthy”). As a result, Arthur Miller became involved and wrote a play to show his beliefs in response to the accusations and haywire going on. Miller used individual characters and portrayed them as a part of his protest. The Crucible was published as a play and made a film. The two are similar, but differences do occur. The play represents these characters with more historical accuracy and believability than the film because individually, the characters
The book and movie are completely different. It 's like comparing apples and oranges. (I 'm assuming that you used the newest version with Guy Pierce). The biggest difference is probably the ommision of Haydee and Maximillien and Valentine (three of the main character) and the addition of Jacapo. Jacapo does is in the book, but he is never a large character.
Arthur Miller's play, The Crucible, and the movie with the same name have many differences and similarities, all of which contribute to the individual effectiveness of each in conveying their central message.
The text and film adaptation of The Crucible complement each other, catching the essence of Arthur Miller’s central themes and messages. Although the film reiterates the theme and the basis of the play, there are many differences to contrast. The film featured scenes that were merely referenced in the text, allowing the audience to fully grasp the storyline. These additions are also necessary to convey emotions and accentuate important attributes of the characters.
Arthur Miller wrote the play, The Crucible, in 1952 and the movie in 1996. The story is historical fiction depicting the Salem witch trials that took place in Massachusetts in 1692-1693. The movie and the play have obvious differences, however the movie does not stray too far from the original play. The main character, Abigail, in an attempt to steal the love of John Proctor, weaves a web of lies and leads the community to believe that there are witches among them. Ultimately this leads to the trials and hangings of several good people in the village, including John Proctor. The main differences between the movie and play are displayed in plot, setting, and characterization.
The Crucible is arguably the greatest pieces of American literature ever written by playwright Arthur Miller. But, in 1996 a film was created to put the words of Miller onto the big silver screen for many people across the nation to see. Although both works were received very well, the two of them have many different elements. These differences from the book to the movie include the setting, the execution of all the victims, the kiss of John and Abigail, where the girls run, and the discussion of John and Goody Proctor. These differences from the book to the movie have affected both in many different ways.
There are quite a few noticeable differences between The Crucible book, and the film. In the book, there was an appendix, that was completely omitted from the movie. Then, in the film, there was a scene showing Mary Warren sewing the poppet that was found in Goody Proctor”s house. In the book, it talked about the girls dancing in the woods, but in the movie, not only was it the opening scene, they showed it as a flashback.
“The Scarlet Letter” written by Nathaniel Hawthorne and “The Crucible” written by Arthur Miller are two pieces of literature written around the same era. They were written in the early days of the Massachusetts colony. Both of the pieces of literature have many similarities including the theme, setting, conflicts, and some major plot elements. But the two pieces of literature are also very different. They both use have a common theme but are completely different stories. Each of the plays tell a different portrayal of the effects of sin on the protagonist, how they deal with the situation, and also how they will be effected by their choices made throughout the play.

The film and play's plot are basically identical, so there's no need to compare them, still the storyline is great. Furthermore, the plot of The Crucible is when Abigail and the girls are found in the forest dancing and doing witchcraft with Tituba. Abigail lies about how they were not doing anything witchcraft related in the forest, but people still suspect witchcraft in Salem, so Abigail and the girls accuse innocent people of witchery to cover up what they actually, did in the forest.

John then goes into the court to say how the girls and Abigail been lying about everyone they accused by bringing Mary Warren, was part of Abigail's clique, to show they have been lying.

The playwright has had many runs in the production industry and even appeared on movie screens in the late of 1996. However, when looking at the movie and the play there are many differences that can be seen when looking at the two side by side. While the movie and the play do indeed have some similarities, they also have some differences that are very much apparent in terms of how the characters are portrayed and the scenes that had been cut out as well as the script having some altercations when transforming this playwright into a major motion picture. When zooming out and discovering the differences between the two it is obvious to see that the playwright is and always will be the better of the duo.
