how to practice remembering a hundred different f*ing names in 10 minutes

shoutout to everyone thats watching this the night before their tests

anyone else has a test tomorrow and is just cramming lol

I must say, the art really complements the narration.

0:54 Act 1 4:11 Act 2 5:50 Act 3 7:44 Act 4

Teacher told everyone to read this during the holiday...guess who's up at 3am watching this video with 4 hours till school left? (:

Giles Correy died like a bad ass . They killed him by pressing him to death ( basically stacking weight on him until he suffocated or was crushed). Even during the execution they kept trying to get him to confess but all he kept shouting was " more weight , add more weight!".

I didn't enjoy a lot of stories we had to read in school. But this was pretty good. I liked the way that Arthur Miller used the story to express his feelings after being blacklisted as a communist.

I read the whole book without realizing they were lying

Thank you you saved my life in ap english

This video is great but it doesn't talk about how Abigail set Elizabeth up with the doll with a needle in it and how Abigail stabbed herself. And it doesn't talk about who dies in the end

Rebecca the old lady is the best character. The only person in this book that seems to have a common sense. She was accused of being a witch too, but instead of confessing to get out of being hanged, she denied it and would rather have died with honor.

It's 1 AM, I have to wake up at 6, and my test is at 10. Wish me luck.

Poor Elizabeth, victim from the very beginning

Fun fact: in real life Abigail was like 11

Greetings from Salem, Massachusetts!

..........no mention of how this play is an allegory for the Red Scare and McCarthyism. Miller wrote this play in response to everyone and their mother being accused of Communism.

Those crazy Puritans, bunch of silly willies.

This video also left out an IMPORTANT event: Mary warren works for the Procter Famliy. When she goes over to the Procter home, she tells the family about who is accuessed and she gives Elizabeth a doll that she has made. Mary had stuck a pin inside the doll for safe keeping. Elizabeth takes the doll and sends Mary away. When Elizabeth is aressted; the officals find the doll and see that the doll has a pin inside it. They think that Elizabeth had done that to the doll to hurt Abigal. (Voodoo)

John Proctor represents what manhood is and demonstrates human error and regret. This is a beautiful story that still represents human nature, that is still seen today in modern day life. I am murdering the exam tomorrow !!!!!!!! #beautiful

Dear Sparknotes, Thank you SO much for all your videos! They are amazing!! Everything is so easy to understand! You guys are doing great job!! Thank you!!!!

Anybody sad about the death of Giles Cory?

the plot of this play is like a fucking spiderweb of names and information

Watching this in quarantine, because teachers have the audacity to assign work 😪

That was good but you forgot to mention the whole bit where Danforth discovers Elizabeth is pregnant and when he gives Proctor the opportunity to save Elizabeth, he denies as he cannot give up on his friends who have also gone to the court to testify. Other than that, good study tool before my exam tomorrow (shootout to anyone else studying this play with 12 hours left until their exam).

I played Reverend Parris in a community theater production of this play. It was SO much fun, and it was a dream come true for me. it really is a wonderful play.

who else is watching this because they're lazy to read the book

Isn't it important to note that betty woke up when Abby was screaming at everyone to keep their mouths shut which made it obvious that she was faking the entire time?

Here before my final exam😭😩thank you

dude this is frikin awesome i love how our society makes it so we dont even have to read summaries of books anymore!

For anyone wondering, marginalised and empowered perspectives were explored in the text. The crucible in itself is an allegory for the McCarthyism that took place during 1950s America where those who were allegedly branded as "communist supporters" were killed as much like the girls in the witch hunt trials of Salem. It is a masterpiece as it's socio-historical context can be linked to modern society with Muslims being called or claimed as terrorists and hence feared by the rest of society. The mass amounts of hysteria displayed in the film were all to reveal the dark corruption in political systems of America during Arthur Miller's lifetime. Fun Fact: A crucible is a piece of lab equipment that can withstand extremely hot temperatures. In the film/play, it is used as a symbolic device as the embodiment of the heat of mass hysteria in Salem Massachusetts 1692.

These illustrations are utterly magnificent! Thank you

Wow this was extremely helpful. Thank you Sparknotes, I couldn't make it through high school with out you! lol

Shout out to those watching this and writing today xD

In the first few pages, Miller tells you it's a dramatization of the events at Salem. He had to mix lots of real characters into one too

we had to read this for school and i’m honestly really happy that we did. this play is one of my favorites and i thought that it was very interesting

just a quick addition, i do believe that it was stated that John Proctor did sign the confession, but then ripped it up as he didn't want it to ruin his name by being posted publicly.

I love how most of these comments are from a really long time ago.

This was the best summery I've heard so far. Thank you sparknotes

Ahh the classic binge watch of summary vids the day before major exams... good luck to everyone else here! - Aus 2021 HSC student

This is literally the plot for my ballet dance this year and I’m supposed to be Tituba which is just great🙂

the guy says Tituba wrong. The emphasis is on TIT not the TYOO part. Tit-tyoo-bah.

I have a test tomorrow and this helped a lot. I think I will do good on it now.
