The Crucible (Arthur Miller)

[nanabush]

Anyone read this?  I read it recently and I have to make a presentation between 10-15 minutes on this, and the topic is open to my choosing.  I can't really think of anything other than McCarthyism, which someone is already doin  and like symbols, which is sorta weak for a presentation... if anyone has any ideas of what I could talk about?  It can be really creative, just has to have substance.

Miller changed alot of what actually happened.  You could do a presentation on his version versus the historical version and maybe add some analysis on why he changed it.

Get the Cliffs Notes or find something online.  Borrow the topics. 

I always hated how those English class teachers would be so into the book that they thought you were too and of course you would read it ten times to suck the essential meaning out of it.  Read once, use plenty of other sources of information on it (cite it of course), and then move on to more important things (music).

Sorry I haven't read it, but that's what I would do.

Excellent idea, thanks a ton!
