Analysis Of Harry Potter 's ' The Crucible '

A theme in The Crucible is that a society ruled by theocracy and status based on religion is bound to fall apart. Salem 's strict adherence to the Christian shurch is evident in everything the citizens do. They use measures of a person 's knowledge and adherence to the religion as a means of judging their character and also their status in society. They believe "God [was] provoked so grandly by such a petty cause" (121), which is why the "jails are packed" (121). If the citizen did anything to make God angry, they were punished. This is why the judges were so relentless and naïve in putting the accused women to trial and convicting them. They believed "the law, based upon the Bible, and the Bible, writ by the Almighty God,

How many people have you met in your life that is stronger because of a difficult experience they went through? Most people are because we take these difficult experiences and grow from them and become better people. This is the exact case is expressed in the play, The Crucible, by Arthur Miller. The story begins in Salem, Massachusetts 1692 right in the middle of a period of witchcraft hysteria. During this time many people were accused of being witches and wrongly convicted by judges Danforth and Hathorne.

The title, The Crucible, refers to a test, trial, ordeal, formation by fire, and vessel baked to resist heat, and the entire story is an allegory meaning it has a hidden meaning. John Proctor symbolizes a crucible by embodying the definition of one, as he went through a test and was formed by fire.

The Crucible and Fahrenheit 451 both center around the same theme and despite being set in completely opposite time frames, show the same problem. The Crucible by Arthur Miller is set in the late 1600’s and focuses on the events of the Salem Witch Trials. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury has an ambiguous time frame, but is clearly set in the future with advanced technology. Both of these books show strong understandings of psychology, and how people will often manipulate to the point of it getting out of control and causing a proverbial witch hunt. Humans by nature will fear what they don’t understand, and hate what they fear.

While on the scaffold, she has a strong face on, attempting to look as if having a baby out of wedlock and then living in prison has held no effect on her. However, Hawthorne states on page 55 that Hester “felt at moments, as if she must needs shriek out with the power of her lungs, and cast herself from the scaffold down upon the ground, or else go mad at once.” She is still trying to figure out what is best for her daughter, and she obviously still has feelings for the father that she has yet to acknowledge and deal with in an emotionally healthy manner. After Hester is released from the prison, she seems to become more charitable, more pious, and accepts her punishment. The narrator states that walking out of the prison was much more torturous for Hester than the scaffold was at its peak. Here, she accepts that the public scrutiny of her and her child will become an ever-present part of their life. While she still feels deep shame for her actions and having the Scarlet Letter branded in her clothing makes her miserable, it allows her to think clearly. She has chosen to stay in Boston, since it is the birthplace of her daughter, Pearl. The narrator reveals on page 77 that she has accepted it as the place where she will live out her punishment and purge her soul. She has also become more perceptive of the society. She feels as if the Scarlet Letter allows her to look past her own sins and into the sins of others. In conclusion, she is still the same woman she was before

One’s words have many meaning and can change shape by different people. Reputation is the beliefs or opinions that are generally held about someone or something. Thomas Paine a famous English-American political activist, the philosopher born in 1774 best describes Reputation as, “what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us.” Applying that one true identity lies beyond human vision but only truly seen by the god. This message is repeated in ‘The Crucible’ as many characters are challenged between telling the truth to risk their lives to keep their reputations rather than do the right thing. Whether it be, by lying about one’s action,

The desire to be seen as perfect is seen among every human. It has been taken up by the puritan community as the way of life. Puritan belief has made it tremendously hard to not throw shame and regret on people. It causes children to act up due to them being able to get recognized. Everyone would constantly be blamed for things that weren 't bad to the community but due to human nature, they were blamed for benefiting them. Which in itself is not the act of a true puritanism. Women ( specifically young girls) all had a huge impact on Salem that caused lies and new beliefs. 3 women were the main cause of all the sales madness and mayhem these women were Abigail

Corruption can mean so many things and can be interpreted in countless ways but in the most simplistic way of explaining what it is, it is the misuse of judgment, the struggle between what is right and what is wrong. No one really knows what led to corruption, but some say it was religious reasons that led to this malfeasance, meaning the devil, while others believe different. People in today’s society tend to relate this topic to politics because it is most commonly occurs within that faction of society. Corruption is a reoccurring theme throughout The Crucible, it shows through the political, McCarthyism, religious and personal reasons of the Colonial Era.
