书籍介绍
In the rigid theocracy of Salem, Massachusetts, rumors that women are practicing witchcraft galvanize the town. The ruthlessness of the prosecutors and the eagerness of neighbor to testify against neighbor, THE CRUCIBLE mirrors the anti- Communist hysteria in the 1950's

建议不要看王晓鹰版女巫。想看黄佐临的。
当时的人有多封建，男女有多不平等
Seeing the play from Abigail's POV, it's actually all about a possessive love that's gone terribly awry.
世界上本没有女巫，说的人多了，就成了罪。参观Salem的时候买了这个剧本，真实的历史比故事更残酷。Salem的后人将那十九个因为愚昧的人们，腐败的权威而无辜牺牲的人们和那些臭名昭著的“审判者”葬在一起，这样他们日日都会听到他们的罪行，游人带着鲜花纪念逝去的生命，殊不知几百年后“猎巫”仍在以不同的形式上演着。女巫可以是communist，是有色人种…人们仍需要不断的反思。
“Wind warm as blood,” “your justice can freeze beers,” “a funeral marches round your heart” … It’s easy to forget that Arthur Miller was writing about 17th century in 1950s. The beauty and power of his language are underestimated for sure.

Witch hunts are dangerous but we still aren't listening to Miller.
Arthur Miller 非常著名的一本戏剧，两天时间拜读了这本戏剧，对与权力，人性，宗教的交织有了更深的看法。企鹅前部分的导言很长，谈到了一点感触很深，就是一个组织，一个社区乃至一个国家为了实现团结和内部统一，可以对少数群体和边缘人群进行打压和剥削。冷战时期，集中体现此种猎巫行动的就是麦肯锡主义。当历史的悲剧一再重复，此种景象该有多讽刺。为打压苏联，实现美国国内和党内团结，以莫须有的罪行指向形态意识对立的一方。当🇺🇸大批共产党人被公开指责为苏联间谍，接受法庭审判，供审出其他有关人士以自保时，这种荒唐的景象同样出现在几百年前的塞勒姆小镇。是违背良心指控他人苟且活下去？还是以性命为代价坚守道德良知，站在真理的一方？proctor在结尾说出的leave my name！实在令人动容。
