Differences Between The Play And The Crucible

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.

The movie version of The Crucible was much more violent, graphic, and suspenseful than the play. The graphicness of the movie helped make all the events more relatable to the audience. It also made the general plot more interesting. The graphicness and violence helped contribute to the overall theme of The Crucible.

Since Arthur Miller wrote the Crucible as a play instead of a novel, I think that helped make the movie and the playwright connect. A difference between how I pictured the movie to be and how it was performed was how the actors looked and acted. I envisioned John not to be so gruff and rough looking. I imagined a more clean cut man. I also imagined Abigail to be more charming and appealing, because that might help explain John’s actions.

The second flawed characteristic of humanity seen in “The Crucible” is survival. Miller portrays this in his play by using dramatization. Throughout the play, many people were driven by the need to survive, jeopardizing other people’s reputation and safety to ensure their own survival. This would make several scenes in the play very dramatic. There is no character that better exemplifies this then Abigail, possibly the most dramatic character in “The Crucible.” She exhibits this behavior early on in the story. When Paris confronts her about her and the other girls dancing in the woods, she immediately turns and blames Tituba, calling her a witch and a devil worshipper (12). She even accuses Tituba of conjuring spirits to ensure that she would

The Crucible, written by Arthur Miller, is a timeless representation of corruption. One of the main characters, Abigail Williams, is an incredible opportunist and uses her wit to manipulate and dictate the outcome of nearly the entire play. Many would argue that Abigail is to blame for every tragedy that takes place, although they’re overlooking many factors that persuade and push her to make the decisions that she has. As a young orphan girl who has been exposed to brutality as an adolescent and pitied by many for this, it's easy to see where the root of her vengeful behavior came from. Abigail walks a thin line between being resentful and being “evil”, ultimately making it cruel to blame her for every misfortune in the story.

“Uncle, we did dance; let you tell them I confessed-and I’ll be whipped if I must be. But there speakin’ of witch craft.” Could you imagine being accused of witchcraft just for being out in the woods, dancing around a fire with some friends? From Abigail Williams motives, the choices she make, along with the consequences that are put in to place that has caused this chaos, to the person Abigail has become by the end of the play. The Crucible by Arthur Miller, is an emotional rollercoaster.

Arthur Miller’s The Crucible features consolidated diverse themes to challenge the reader, including intricate concepts such as good and evil, individual versus community motives and, omission and commission. Every character has their own motivations and desires, whether they be positively or negatively driven, however, the motives of Abigail Williams are notable.

Another event that the lust between John and Abigail leads to is the hanging of many people in the village who are thought to be Christian people including John himself. Sometimes people do not always realize that what they have done can affect so many people in many different ways. In The Crucible some ways that people are affected is by them being accused of something they never did, some other villagers turning on them, and some being hung for the crime of witchery. Miller uses the lust between John and Abigail to show that even though they might not think of it as wrong it ends up hurting the other people around them as well as themselves. People will go to extreme measures to get what they want or get what they do not have. In The Crucible Abigail goes to the extreme

Arthur Miller’s play, The Crucible has a variety of unique and memorable characters that change & progress throughout the entire play. Some characters may even change the final outcome of the entire story. Abigail Williams, an antagonist in the play is a character some may describe her as dreadful. I myself would describe her as smart and persuasive because of the way she tried to manipulate everyone. Abigail's actions are quite obvious, but I believe she doesn’t deserve all the blame for what she has done.

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.

In 1952 a play was written by Arthur Miller, about events that happened in Salem in 1692. The play was about affairs, accusations, and innocent people being accused of witches. In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, Abigail and Mary Warren are introduced as two separate people. Although people might see Abigail and Mary Warren as two separate people and nothing alike, they are more alike than meet's the eye. Abigail and Mary Warren have three things in common; they are both are deceitful, they both dishonest, and they are both apprehensive.

The characters in Arthur millers The Crucible can teach a lot about people. People can be horrible and terribly deceptive. When placed under pressures and after experiencing trauma peoples real character can come out. In the case of The Crucible Abigail is shown for what she really is. She gets a kind of power and this corrupts her to use the situation to have Elizabeth Proctor sent to jail. Abigail is not the only one who takes advantage of the

What begins as a slight concealment of the truth can often run rampant, quickly becoming a situation that none could ever anticipate or control. In Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, Abigail Williams is a manipulative and deceitful young woman who generates a panic in the Salem community with accusations of witchcraft. Abigail plays a key role in the story as an adulterer and an influence over the younger girls in the trials. As the story progresses, she employs devious methods to create drama and further heighten the tension and unease in the town.

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.

Human are born and raised to do what is righteous and good but when given the opportunity why is it that humans will use wrongful ways more often than not? "All conflict in literature is, in its simplest form, a struggle between good and evil." This means that all conflict in any work is basically just a fight between the forces of good and evil. The Crucible by Arthur Miller and Macbeth by William Shakespeare’s show that this statement is true. In both works of The Crucible and Macbeth, the authors play with the use of outside forces to show how people will quickly abandon their beliefs. Both authors us the idea of “evil” to illustrate how quickly society succumbs to it and is willing to use it to their advantage.
