Summary: Wikipedia.com (Sorry couldnt find a better one.)
The Crucible is a 1953 play by the American playwright Arthur Miller. It is a dramatized and partially fictionalized story of the Salem witch trials that took place in the Province of Massachusetts Bay during 1692 and 1693.

Opinion:
This book was crazy. If this was how the witch trials really happened, I am twice as grateful to live in these times. It is sad to think everything happened because of vindictive little girls. Several people died because of them and many more would have if they had not confessed to stupid crimes. I feel like the Crucible displayed some of the deepest lows people have gone to for power and money. Gold, glory and god is pretty much the theme song for the whole book and real-life situation. Salem turned into a theological society and tiny government inside the United States. That is never going to happen again. I really do not have words for the stupidity in this classic and school summer reading mandatory book. Innocent people died and that was crazy and uncondonable. As you can most likely tell, I did not really like the book. Technically, it is a play. It includes the background of each character and the overall situation plus the actual characters in the play were the real people in the Salem Witch trials. That was the only interesting part to me since I am a history nerd. Unless you are required to read this book, I do not recommend it.
