Summary of “The crucibleĪrthur Miller`s drama “The crucible” starts in the upper bedroom of Reverend Parris´ house in Salem, Massachusetts, in spring 1692. He is a very fascinating man, he knows what he wants and is nearly the only one in Salem who has something you could call common sense and risks to go beyond the religious limitations and people´s narrow-mindedness of that time. I want to go into greater detail about John Proctor, because he is the person the story is really about and he is a very impressive man, he is the character you empathize with when you read the play. I read it approximate 18 months ago and I was really impressed when I first read it, not only because the story of John Proctor and his way to the gallows is heart-rending, but it is also amazing how a girl of seventeen can provoke such things as these witch-hunts. I have chosen this topic or to be precise this book because it is my favorite play.
