There are two different interpretations of “The Crucible,” the play in the literature book and the film directed by Nicholas Hytner. These two versions of of the play are both about the same general idea, but they have differences. The movie has some details that aren't in the book. For example, when the girls were dancing in the woods. They mentioned it in the book, but in the movie they actually showed them dancing. Giles Corey also says “more weight” when they are placing rocks on him in the movie, but not in the book. In the book, Parris was explaining to everyone that he saw the girls dancing in the forest, but some people didn't believe him. Parris states “My daughter and my niece I discovered dancing like heathen in the forest.”
