Seller's Description:
Very Good. Book Softcover, xiv, 145 pp. This edition with an Inroduction and A Note on the Historical Accuracy of This Play by Richard Watts, Jr. Light wear, inside covers and text are age-toned otherwise unmarked, tight binding. In The Crucible, Arthur Miller turns for his setting to the grim days of the Salem witch trials, and brings into focus an issue that still confronts the progress of American civilization--the problem of guilt by association.
A true masterpiece that will make you question the character of society and yourself. I was able to relate to many situations shown in this story and it changed my views on a lot of things by inspiring me to think in about them in a more abstract way. This story helped me gain a better understanding of myself and the motives of other people.

anyone who has read or seen this play knows how awesome it is. Its a story of how Mr Proctor's affair with a servant girl, Abigail, causes trouble. The young girl accuses his wife of witch craft and then Proctor ends up facing trial as well. Demonstrating how hysterical the public can become over a small matter, miller created a chilling work of art. The politics in this story is timeless.
