The Crucible

 

            This Essay is about the accuracy of the video to the play on the Crucible. The Video and the play were almost exact. There were only a few differences. The video was very good but so was the play. The video might be better for some people so that they can see who all the characters are, and get a better understanding of the play. Some people might prefer the play so that way then can imagine what's going on, they can look at things their own way, and they can make up there own view of the characters.
             Some of the things that were missing in the play were the appendix two, the killing of Giles Corey, and The hangings at the end. Appendix two showed what conversation John and Abigail had that drove her to accuse John's wife, Elizabeth, of sticking her with the needle. The hanging wasn't in the Play, they stopped it where Reverend Hale was begging Elizabeth to try and change John's mind, and she declined.
             In the video, Appendix two was included. The hanging was also included, along with the killing of Giles Corey. The hanging showed what happened to the condemned after proctor ripped up his confession. It was a very dramatic and patriotic ending. It showed that they would die for what they believed in. The killing of Giles was also included, in the play it was only explained, but in the movie it was a pretty dramatic scene.
             Although their were some things added to the movie, the play and the movie were still very the same. The way the people spoke was the same; just some of the words were changed, or phrased in a different way. The Video was really good, and it was very graphic. If the movie was played on mute, and the tape played at the same time, it would probably be most accurate. The characters were well played, and they showed so much emotion when needed to. It was a fantastic movie.
             In conclusion the video is as accurate as the play. The characters were on point, and mostly everything was the same.
