Descrição
About the writing of The Crucible, Miller said that what took him to Salem was not just McCarthyism nor even a concern with an obscure historical incident, but a genuine interest in “the most common experience of humanity, the shifts of interest that turned loving husbands and wives into enemies, loving parents into different supervisors or even exploiters of their children … what they called the breaking of charity with one another (1995, p. 335).”
Our challenge is to consider the way Salem-1692 and America-1953 became dramatic poetry, realizing a creative, deliberate, calculating action; following its own artistic logic, thus acquiring its own dramatic meaning.
