Oedipus – No Rating This is about the fiftieth time I’ve read this play, and I always enjoy it. It’s one of those plays I read when I was moving from being a reader to being a thinker about reading. I even wrote an essay about it in tenth grade. I have no clue what I wrote, but I started it at 10 pm the night before it was due. I had already gone to bed and then I suddenly remembered it. I think I […]

The Penguin Book of Modern American Short Story – 4/5 Stars Its important to emphasize that this is a collection from about 1970 on, so while it’s “modern” it means contemporary and while it’s contemporary, it’s decidedly more recent than the normal break in American lit at WWII. This is important because it means that a lot of very well-known and established short-fiction writers like John Cheever, Donald Barthelme, John Updike, Flannery O’Connor, and Bernard Malamud are not considered. Otherwise it would seem to me […]

An acclaimed Arthur Miller play with mixed results

The Crucible by Arthur Miller

August 12, 2017 by bonnie Leave a Comment

I never read The Crucible in high school, but The Chancellor’s taught it to his American Literature class before, and he’s talked to me about Arthur Miller and the ideas he wrote about in his plays. Plus, I’d seen the AWFUL adaptation that was quite thick on nakedness and a bit thin on thematic development, so I was curious to see how the play would stack up. And, let’s not forget that we’re living in a weird hybrid McCarthyistic/Nixonian era that I thought only existed […]
