using the library or the internet as a resource, locate and watch Two different interpretations of the crucible. you may choose
to view a film or live play production. then, compare and contrast how the two interpretations represented the original play by arthur miller. did either of the interpretations make any changes to the original material?
Answers: Eric Christ's interpretation: Key points: Direct link to Mc Carthy, easily understood, "Witch Hunt", Realized that it was link to "un-American trials", "statement of unlimited power wielded by apparently well-meaning albeit paranoid and delusional individuals.
Wade Bradford's interpretation: Key points: Shows no link to Joseph Mc Carthur, believes the facts written were directly about the puritan people in Salen Massachussetes.
Explanation: In the first interpretation there is a strong link to Joseph McCarthy but in the other there is no link. From my point of view, the interpretation that changes the original idea is the second because this play should be understood in the context in which it was written and that was a moment that McCarthysm untied a truly witch hunt in American's society
Eric Christ played an interpretation of Crucible. In this interpretation we can see that he used the work of Arthur miller as inspiration, since the two works have similarities in the way of telling the story more focused on the trials and accusations that occurred.
In addition to the interpretation of Erick Christ, he also observed the interpretation of Wade Bradford. This version is more focused on the fervent religiosity of the population that left citizens somewhat "alienated" allowing a complete hysteria to take over the city. This interpretation is more sentimental than the first.
