I feel this way about practically every character in The Crucible. I enjoyed the story, but so many times I felt like yelling "FFS! Use some common sense, discuss things with each other, and everyone will get out of this alive!"

It depressed me to find out this was based on the rl Salem witch trials. I thought it was a loose interpretation, but discovering that this is pretty much what actually happened really depressed me. I hope the real people weren't this stupid in real life.

I have a feeling that a lot of them were. Also, most of the deaths stemmed from just how much jealously there was around the place, and how easy it was to scream witch at people you didn't like. It made the worst in people come out through power trips, and was just an ugly mess from beginning to end.

Though, I will say the witch hunts in Europe, particularly some parts of Germany (where whole villages were massacred) make Salem look like a good time.

LOL stay away from American History in general, then

my major first-year seminar in college was on witchcraft in colonial america (and studying its roots in the persecution of "witches" in continental europe and england), and we had to read the crucible the summer before school started. if i recall correctly, the events mimic real life pretty closely. (and there's also the parallel to the mccarthy red scare to consider, too.) all in all, it's a pretty depressing play.

Late comment I know, but that sounds like an awesome class

[hopeandmemory.livejournal.com]

it totally could have been, but the professor was SO BORING OMFG. i went to college in hartford, CT, which has a lot of witchcraft history, but we never took any field trips (dude, we could've gone to salem, it's not that far from hartford) or did anything remotely fun. he just lectured at us. it sucked. :(
