具體描述
The Crucible is a powerful indictment of McCarthyism and the 'frontier mentality' of Cold War America, published in Penguin Modern Classics.
Arthur Miller's classic parable of mass hysteria draws a chilling parallel between the Salem witch-hunt of 1692 - 'one of the strangest and most awful chapters in human history' - and the American anti-communist purges led by Senator McCarthy in the 1950s. The story of how the small community of Salem is stirred into madness by superstition, paranoia and malice, culminating in a violent climax, is a savage attack on the evils of mindless persecution and the terrifying power of false accusations.
If you enjoyed The Crucible, you might like Miller's Death of a Salesman, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.
'One of a handful of great plays that will both survive the twentieth century and bear witness to it'
John Peter, Sunday Times

The Crucible was aimed at the widespread congressional investigation of subversive activities in the US; the drama won the 1953 Tony Award. Miller's autobiography, Timebends: A Life was published in 1987.

評分阿瑟·米勒 根据真实的萨勒姆女巫案改编而成，阿瑟米勒笔下的萨勒姆小镇，人人为了自保而虚构罪名，诬陷旁人，显然也是对当时美国盛行的麦卡 锡主义的暗讽。由几个女孩子引起的女巫案为什么最后演化为全镇的悲剧，涉及越来越多的无辜者，人性的意义和价值在当时的萨勒姆...

已購實體#讀英文原著總會發現讀中文時忽略掉的一些地方；企鵝這本後麵還有各個版本喜劇錶演的幕後照片，可以！！封麵水中的白衣女子讓我想到逃獄三兄弟裏的森林奇遇，也是關於宗教的
评分比影射麥卡锡主義更深廣的政治寓言。It’s better to tell a lie when you absolutely believe it.拷問的或許仍是人性。因為政治是社會的産物，而人際關係的本質即依賴於社會與政治運作。也許看完我應當脊背發涼，可是我老早就不在乎瞭。
评分火車上讀完，一氣嗬成。

评分英語課上完完整整演完的（？親身演繹便可摧毀一切想象哈哈哈哈哈）。簡短有力的劇本，敘事完整，人間的欲望、掙紮、善惡紛呈其中。
