About This Novel
"The Witches of Salem" is the masterpiece of Arthur Miller, the famous playwright known as "the conscience of American drama". It won the Tony Award for Best Play in 1953. The famous French writer Jean-Paul Sartre adapted it into a movie in 1957. The story is based on a persecution case that occurred in Salem, Massachusetts, North America in 1692. A "witch" appears in a town shrouded by Puritanism. Pastor Barris invites "exorcists" from neighboring parishes to assist in the investigation. In order to protect themselves, people began to doubt, expose and even frame each other, which then triggered a butterfly effect. The girls' forest dance eventually turned the town into purgatory. The hero Proctor was framed, but he was unwilling to betray his friends and soul in exchange for a humiliating existence. Using history as a metaphor for the present, Miller perfectly presents a fable about the conflict between good and evil and evil in human nature, revealing the cruelty and ruthlessness of powerful forces, the evil of blind obedience of the mob and the collapse of moral beliefs, and people's choices when disaster strikes. There is the deepest abyss in human nature, but also the most dazzling glory of human nature.
