Crucible, The
|
IMDB rating: 6.80 Plot: A small group of teen girls in 1692 Salem, Massachusetts caught in an innocent conjuring of love potions to catch young men are forced to tell lies that Satan had invaded them and forced them to participate in the rites and are then forced to name those involved. Thrown into the mix are greedy preachers and other major landowners trying to steal others’ land and one young woman (Ryder) infatuated with a married man (Day-Lewis) and determined to get rid of his innocent wife (Allen). Arthur Miller wrote the events and the subsequent trials where those who demanded thier innocence were executed, those who would not name names were incarcerated and tortured, and those who admitted their guilt were immediately freed as a parable of the Congressional Communist witch hunts led by Senator Joe McCarthy in 1950’s America. |

That really depends on what you are looking for. Are you looking for a summary of the story or the whole story in one piece? For a summary version of the story I like using SparkNotes.com, I like how it breaks down information on the story and even gives you analysis. For the whole story you would have to buy it from somewhere. Hope this helps a little.
