Order the Kindle version of "The Crucible" online. Because Miller's play is still copyrighted, this the only legal way to read it online.
Use SparkNotes as a guide for interpreting the play. They provide insight on the main characters, such as the villain Abigail Williams or the sad hero John Proctor. Study the analysis as the notes interpret each act and each character's demise.
Compare SparkNotes with BookRags summaries, which highlights how each character was involved in witchcraft, and which ones redeemed themselves. Analyze which characters represent authority and order, and which ones bring destruction and chaos to those around them.
