The Crucible to me is a very boring play to read. This text drags on and loses all excitement with the type of english being spoken. Yet, when I get past al the boring and summerize, I begin to like it. The drama is equal to that of a soap opera or any other modern day television show. I believe that when I complete the entire play, that my mind wil change. Untill then, it is just boring.
In act one, I feel like this story is over dramatic and at the end, redundant. It is alot to take in and especially when the plot is already flowing when the story starts. I believe this is what makes it so hard to get into. Yet, the character Abigail, is entertaining. I feel that she is going to be running the town and the whole show by the end of this story. For one teenage, she has alot of influence. So I will be excited to see how things progress with her, her scandal with John, and the witch hunt.
It is written in older language to give it that Puritan feel. Give it a chance. You may like it yet.
