The Crucible and My Opinon of It?

Miller had something ingenious going on upstairs, that's for sure.
To create something based on an opinion and to intertwine it with actual history, with a few twists in age and slight details, is completely remarkable. His characters, drawn with intricate depths and connections, capture the reader but doesn't boast his opinion in a way that turns them away. No, instead it draws them in, further and further into his plot of the Salem witch trails, wanting for more.
From Abigail Williams' easy to be caught in lies, to John Proctors regret of his sin, Miller has everyone on their toes, trying to piece each part of the story to the next piece. When Parris catches the girls in the woods with Tituba, he should've punished them all. Beat them, and told reiterated that it was against the religion rather than believe the niece who loved to frolic with older, married men.

Easily conformed and just as easily loved, these characters play out a deeper plot that borderline explains McCarthy and his communist theories. Those who are innocent are the first to be punished/accused but will have enough will power not to bend to please those who accuse them. Yet, they die out.
