The Crucible

From reading The Crucible, I gained a different perspective. I thought that the play brought about many emotions, but didn’t put them together as collectively as seeing the play itself did. I especially had seen this when watching the character of John Proctor. His acting evoked a lot of anger and slight hysteria. I saw this more in the play than in the reading. I felt his character had come alive more than in just reading the play. Also, in the play I felt some sort of constant fear while watching. It seemed as if the fear was playing into the lives of everyone in the town. No one knew when someone was going to be persecuted as a witch, and through the actors performances I was able to see such dramatic interpretations on what was happening. I enjoyed the costumes for the performance as well. I believe they tied into the theme of what was going on in the certain situation. The women dressed modestly and seemed to be innocent, but by the actor’s performance I was able to see the true character come out. I thought the Stevens Point cast and crew did a very good job in portraying the performance of The Crucible.
