Fun fact: During Salem's witch trials, historical Abigail was 11 and Proctor was 60. Elizabeth, his 3rd wife, was 41. Miller changed those ages to create sexual tension and to spin out a "why" this all happened. In actuality, we don't know what feelings sparked the witch craze.

Wanting to get other people's property is what started this

John Proctor was my 9th Great Grandfather. Just found out the other day so of course I'm looking up everything I can about him.

That's Awesome!

I really learnt a lot from this. I could really see your passion and love for literature and teaching, really great work! Keep it up!

John Proctors sister was my great great (and so on) grandmother :) thanks for this !!

One of my favorite pieces of literature. Your commentary is INCREDIBLE! LOVED the perspective of all stories end in death and that's not sad at all. 💕💖 Thank you

You kept me learning and engaged. Thank you for choosing to teach!!

Miller's play (a great work) is BASED on the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. It's not intended as historical fact. The film is based on the play. Don't get what people are complaining about? Our teacher explained that to us.

Thank you for this video, and helping me understand more for my essay!

You're welcome!

May I point out that "The Crucible" is a play and not a novel!

Lovely explanation of a wonderful and tragic story. Thank you dear lady.

wow my 11th great grandfather was George proctor..johns brother so that would make John a great uncle to me

Great video. Just watched the film after studying the book after many years. It broke me. DD Lewis' performance of Proctor is amazing!

Thank you for such an in depth explanation. I wish we took this up in high school. Asian curriculums favor shakespeare too much. Wish we had some arthur miller!

It's a redemption story at heart.

Great video! Engaging and helpful :)

Um, I'm not sure if you understand why he tore apart the confession. The judge was going to have his confession nailed on the church, which would destroy his and his family's reputation, and it was a false confession. Everything was taken from him except his name. He'd rather die an honest, humble man, than live surrounded by lies, with a false confession to his name. It wouldn't set a good example to his wife and children. Also, because Christianity was really important during that time, the thought of living while lying to God was worse than dying from the truth. He didn't change his mind because he thought the women were brave, he changed his mind when he realized that the church was going to use his false confession to sully his name, and destroy his family's life! So he was protecting his family and saving his soul when he ripped the confession.

And if he died while accused of witchcraft his land wouldn't be passed down to his sons.

I agree with this statement

As a educator, you should know this is a fictional story based on real people. John didn't even know Abigail in real life. John was a well respected man who lost his first two wives during childbirth. His third wife Elizabeth was accused first, when John spoke up in her defense, he was accused. The sheriff stole all of his possessions as they sat in jail in deplorable conditions. John was hung and Elizabeth was spared but only because she was pregnant at the time of the trials. She gave birth after the trials and named her son John. 18 people lost their father the day John was murdered. He did NOTHING to deserve what happened to him.

Yes, as a history and English teacher, I think it's important to state that the play is BASED on what happened (historical fiction), but what happened in the play is NOT the real history of what happened in the witch trials.

this is such a good video

I spoke about it with my English teacher in 2020.

I know for a fact your students love you you do good work thanks for helping me get a good a grade on my essay by English teacher is burnt out and makes it obvious she doesn’t wanna be there

John Proctor was my 10th Great Grandfather….

Not a novel! It's a play!

Great vid

After the death of Otto Frank the Anne Frank Foundation finally came out and admitted that the Diaries were largely a work of fiction that were co-authored by Otto Frank. She was a child and did not have the writing skills that the book was finished in. Originally they were Diaries but towards the end of her life she said to her father that she wanted to turn it into a love novel.

you made me realize i’m not immortal...

thank you very much i will comment on myself to say my score

What did u get?

I want you to know that I do have a disability and it is known as down syndrome and I was in the play called the crucible I am going to try to find that audible version of this book. I also have the movie on VHS though but you need to know that the real John proctor what does not have an affair was Abigail Williams not at all. The movie said that he dead but the book said that he did that part was wrong I should know I was in the play at one point of my life and you would know that for certain go back and watch the real story of the crucible and the Salem witch trials and you’ll find out that John proctor wanted to disprove. Wanted to put a stop to these trials and also never had a relationship with Abigail Williams the movie showed that You need to know and your class should know the truth the movie exaggerated a lot of these things but according to your class you made it look like that everything was either. A sad ending or a good ending no all on the books has that I should know I do have a lot of audible books but I do respect you for honesty. You would know that the crucible and the story behind it was the real John proctor and also the movie version of John proctor that you would know. That Giles Corey was not very much a cooperative person I was very much argumentative people and don’t say that he was cooperative and it is wrong thinking to say that I’m just getting some thing to teach them or you can teach them about something like this Parent education special needs and self advocacy which is what my ministry is about I know that you are a teacher and I do have a disability and it is true in the name of my ministry is everlasting life ministerial work What you should do is tell them the truth educate them about the real past and you made John proctor out as a hero when he is not a hero when someone has flaws like you said that makes them as guilty as sin to looking the other way from his wife and committing luxury with Abigail Williams according to the novel in the play in the film when real wife this never happened I was like 80 years old or something or maybe younger than that

thanks a lot but I think John Proctor is Miller himself when he was accused of being a communist

Its a play

Not sure in the time period and context, I could comfortably teach students that 17 year old Abigail was a mere child. Great analysis though. May use some of these strategies.

but he is not totally related to the real john proctor

@@birdsdontsmoke that true but according to the Salem annals, his reclaim during his own trial and the claim of his wife after his death could create a certain image that matches the play in some aspects but in others differs so much ( probably to me the play more interesting exaggerate some features ). Either way is only my opinion don't take it into account

It's not a novel...it's a play

Hard to take this seriously when, in the opening statement, you call the play a "novel"!
