Comparison of The Front and The Crucible

 

             A long disbuted action that has happened multiple times in .
             American history is the act of genocide based on something that .
             cannot be proved or charged. In the 1860's there was the Salem .
             Witch Trials in which people were accused of being witches and .
             executed for it. Now this was something that could not be proved .
             making it one persons word against another, which basicly makes it .
             genocide. And then in the 1950's there was the Red Scare which once .
             again persecuted someone for something that was not illegal, .
             believeing in communism. Although noone was executed since it was .
             not illegal many people were banned from work because of the .
             accuazation that they were Communists. Although "The Crucible" .
             and the "The Front" had the same basic message in mind when they .
             were written they were based in different times so they had very .
             differing plots. .
             "The Crucible" by Authur Miller was about the original witch .
             hunt. It told the story of the Salem Witch Trials from the point of view .
             of several main characters, who were actual people who were alive .
             during this devistating time. These characters included John Proctor .
             and his wife Elizabeth and Abagail Willaims (the girl who threw out .
             the first claim of Witches). It follows what happened to all these .
             people and takes you though some of the main trials and tribulations .
             that these people endured during the period of time. The plot goes .
             from the first outcry of witchcraft to the execution of one of the main .
             characters John Proctor. It also tells about how some of the people .
             objected to the fact that none of this could be proven and how they .
             were delt with. And woven in is some of the basic hollywood drama .
             but for the most part it remains true to the small piece of the trials it is .
             about.
             "The Front" is a movie based on a more modern time period, the .
             1950's. It is about the more modern witch hunt, the Red Scare.
