Is presented in the 1997 film Essay

Hale is upset because he knows that illusion is innocent and he feels guilty because he was involved and doesnt want to see an innocent man hang also he realises hoe precious life is and doesnt want John to give it away Life is gods greatest gift Parris and Danforth are annoyed with John because if he had confessed to witch barter it would have justified all the other hangings but they understand that when they hang John they will be ruined and exposed as corrupt that is why it is slightly ironic when Danforth says Whoever weeps for these weeps for corruptionThe ending of the play is very dramatic using Elizabeth as the last person to speak saying the line he have his goodness now god forbid I take it from him this is telling us that she realises that he is a good man. Also seeing Elizabeths reactions and emotions it guides the audience and shows them how they should react themselves. During the Conclusion of the film adaptation the director shows lots of close ups of John and Eliz abeth to show emotion which would have been expressed on the peak, this is affective because it shows you exactly how you should be feeling and why it is so emotional to John and Elizabeth.Also the music helps set the scene using dramatic music when John is deciding whether to sign or not an happier music when he decides to hang if the music was not their it would be difficult for the crowd to understand that the hanging is a good event rather than a sad event. The comments in echoes down the corridor are significant because they explain what John Proctor has hung for because when he says Show honours degree now show a stony heart and sink them with it It explains that he sunk the court and broke theocracy in Salem. Miller persuades you that John Proctor didnt die in vain.Also Miller is trying to put the point across that falsely accusing people of something they havent done has atrocious consequences this has links to himself and McCarthyism. In the play the ending scene is fini shed with Elizabeth because it would be difficult to show a real hanging on a stage without actually hurting some one and also leaving it their its a lot more dramatic showing the hanging through Elizabeths eyes. Were as in the film you see John Proctor hang this looses a lot of the drama in the ending scenes but it gives you a very much more clear ending.Even though the endings are similar the play creates a lot more suspense ending on Elizabeths run-in rather than the actual hanging of John Proctor. In conclusion, Millers message is that McCarthyism was wrong and has portrayed the message through The Crucible maybe linking himself to the persona of John Proctor. His message is portrayed extremely well using suspense and drama to get his points across.
