The Crucibles

Back in 1900's, racism and discrimination was one of the most important things in the society. Low race people were not essential in the society where high race people were given the most respect in the society. And same thing happens in Arthur Millers book, The Crucibles, in the movies Remember The Titans and also, in real life. While Arthur Miller's play illustrates his themes of passive acceptance of injustice may be the greatest evil of all, the movie dramatizes this theme more fully.

One way the movie The Crucibles presents the struggles of John Proctor more powerfully than the book is through careful use of camera focus and scene set up. By saying that I mean that John Proctor is presented more impressively in the movie because in the book it all seems like a corny story but the movies set up makes it all feel like real story even though its not.

In addition to developing the conflict for John Proctor through camera focus and scene set up, the book of The Crucible presents his struggle using tone. He doesn't stand up for what he has been blamed of by the Salem community. Even though he had an affair with Abigail he confessed at the end and it was all set after that.

Finally, besides showing the internal conflict that John Proctor through weather and lightning, the movie Remember The Titans also dramatizes his dilemma through scenes added to the story. It is ridiculously awful how John Proctor cheated on Elizabeth by having an affair with Abigail. He didn't confess it till the end because he thought his reputation will be destroyed.

In the end, I conclude that passive acceptance of injustice may be greatest evil of all and it cannot be just be blamed on other. The moral of the story is racism has always affected others in the community so it should be destroyed permanently.

Even now people act like racists sometimes because they think they are higher in standards and they hate lower standard people.
