The Salem with trials have always been interesting to me. Loved studying them at school. So I'm thinking I will do my "rewrite" on 'the Crucible'. I'm thinking that I'll write about how John Proctor and Abigail Williams have an affair, which takes place before both the movie and the play. Kind of like Wide Sargasso Sea. However, I plan on having Tituba, the black maid, tell the story, as if Abigail has told her all about her exploits with John and her plans and such. It will end with Abigail's actions making Tituba think that she is declaring her revenge on the Proctors' finally when the witch accusations turn into a full-blown hunt. Probably diary entry format.
Let me know if you think this is gonna fail because I'm not sure if it has enough body to make 3000 words out of it. Should make a good tragedy if I can pull it off though!
(I put rewrite in speech marks because that's what the title of the assignment is called but it isn't really what we're doing considering this is more of a parallel short story than a complete rewrite of the original play/movie)
