Arthur Miller's 'Weight of Truth' in The Crucible
Marino highlights the importance of Miller's use of the word "weight" at crucial moments of The Crucible, claiming that "the word supports one of the play's crucial themes: how an individual's struggle for truth often conflicts with society."]

I think that this essay would be valuable to the production team because it expresses an importance for particular words. I feel that this article would be a driving force for the team to pick other words of importance that would help determine the themes of the play.Link
The Crucible

 In the following essay, Curtis studies the manner in which Miller creates a "possessed community" in The Crucible, emphasizing his handling of the court scenes and the "compression of language" in the play.]

I think that this essay would be valuable to the production team because it also, like the previous essay expresses the importance of understanding the language in the play. If you do not understand the language how are you supposed to accurately tell the story?
