source: Arts One Open    2015年4月6日
This is a lecture for Arts One at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC, Canada. In the first part of this lecture, Robert Crawford gives historical background to the play in the form of a discussion of the cold war, the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), and Joseph McCarthy. In the second part of the lecture, Derek Gladwin talks about the play itself, focusing on allegory and tragedy, and discussing how we might view John Proctor as a tragic hero.
