John Proctor The Crucible Analysis

Improved Essays
1:To recreate the tension or the emotions portrayed in a scene, would be difficult because everyone who reads the story has a different interpretation, for an example humor is a very unique factor and some may find it funny when others see it as sad.

2:One of the last scene i think would be difficult to recreate when they are being hanged, for the fact of injury or to portray the scene with such an intense emotion and a message it tries to send isn't the easiest task for film makes.

3:I would have rion renaldas play john proctor because i think he's an amazing actor and someone who can portray the scenes very well with his kind of character.

4:The clothing in the movie shows what they are wearing show the time period the very dull colors

As an example I believe they could have had the poppet scene a little longer and have more detail about all the different events happening that night as a whole.

6:I had a better connection with the book characters. I believe they were expressed more and focused on character development a lot better then the movie did.

7:John proctor is extremely protective about his name sack. At the time this was common he was more focused on the bigger picture with his future generations having it better off. I believe this was just becuase as shown in the film there is evidence that he cares about his family more than himself, by his examples of self sacrifice and persistence to save his wife and kids.

8:I believe it's because he wanted to save the town. He wasn’t going to give up on his home so he fought for the people till the very end. It was shown he had a major impact on the town which would have changed if he didn't fight for what he believed in.

9: Thought Mr.Hale would be an older man and be more frail and more very extravagant and over done with all of his methods of questioning. I thought he wouldn't be a fresh scolor but an older man who was thought of to be wise by experience not just

11:The over all scenes of the events no, but the events that the view/reader sees yes. What I mean by that is there are different revealing points in the move, an example is how abigail was revealed to be evil a long time before the movie told the viewer.

12:The trial and the scene where she talks to john proctor is what I believe to be the climax. At this time we get to understand the antagonist intentions and we also see that the hysteria hits an all time high, it's the most intense with all the killing and the most information you get about the story in a very short amount of time.

13 :I think the symbolism in the movie could have been better, but it did at least try to tackle it. Some examples were amazing such as the noose and the doll, but any other kind of symbolism simply wasn't noticed by me

    In the end of The Crucible Arthur Miller leaves his character John Proctor with what seems like an impossible decision. He has to choose between saving himself by admitting to witchcraft, or pleading innocent and facing certain death. In the end he chooses the later of the two, a task that was by no means simple.

    Amid the banshee-like wails of a shaken Mary Warren and the shouts of beleaguered officials; one can hear the crazed laughter of a man who realized his ill-fated attempt to prove the status quo of the court false. This man is John Proctor, whose argument against the supposed female saints of Salem was ultimately crestfallen from circumstances completely out of his grasp. While his testimony was valid, the fallacies that were present in his reasoning backfired and allowed the opposing party to achieve victory much to the chagrin of John and the audience themselves.…
