As the curtain falls
Now that we have finished reading, enacting, viewing, and discussing Miller's play, what do you feel is the most important message/theme that Miller conveys through The Crucible? Why? (The post closes on Thursday, March 27th at midnight.)
I think the message that Miller is trying to convey is that when put in a tough situation, you will go to extremes to keep yourself out of trouble even if it means getting people punished for things that they didnt do.
I believe that Miller is trying to spread the message of how wildly circumstances can fly out of control from lying. It is best to face a punishment by telling the truth, and avoid chaos, rather than lie and drag innocent people into one's problems.
In Arthur Miller's play The Crucible I think the most important lesson is that when a person lies that they are going to end lying again to cover up the lie before till there is no truth. Miller shows in this play that lying hurts other people in someway or another. For instance, in The Crucible it lying ended up taking innocent people's lives. Just one lie caused rumors, and people just assumed it was true, but in reality it was nothing but lies hidden under one another just so the girls would not get in trouble for conjuring with spirits.
