What Are The Similarities Between The Girl Dying That No One Helped And The Crucible

'The Crucible' is a play written by Arthur Miller in which he demonstrates the familiarities of the life he lived in the nineteen-fifties. He communicates through his work to the way people are in his society and what people were like in the seventeenth century. However, 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is a prose, written by Harper Lee in the nineteen-sixties in which she illustrates, how racism was acceptable, and injustice was a problem in which everyone faced in the nineteen-thirties. Both of these literally acclaimed works are based on real life events, whether that is the Salem which trials in The Crucible or childhood events in 'To Kill a Mockingbird'.

The Crucible by Arthur Miller and The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne are both set at Salem, Massachusetts. The Crucible is about the Salem witch trials and The Scarlet Letter is about a woman called Hester Prynne and how she is excluded from the community because she committed a sin, adultery. Both of these works have many similarities; their themes: revenge, adultery, the setting. A difference is how people deal with the situations. When a person hurts you normally your natural instincts is to get revenge. In The Crucible Abigail wants to get rid of John’s wife, Elizabeth so she can have John. In The Scarlet Letter Hester’s husband, Chillingworth wants revenge on Dimmesdale because of what happened between him and Hester.

In 1692, in Salem Massachusetts a small group of girls joined together to go in the woods at night to meet a slave woman name Tituba. Tituba is a slave of Reverend Parris. During their meeting all the girls are dancing

Hitler and Abby both share the ability to brainwash many people. Hitler influenced the minds of a huge audience. Meanwhile, Abigail brainwashed a few people, but they both share the action of brainwashing people. People from both events brought their areas into chaos. Discrimination occurred in both the Holocaust and The Crucible as well. Both events can relate to many real world problems. Even though they took place throughout the 1930-50s they still have many human characteristics that connects to the daily struggles that our society faces

Both The Crucible and “The Monsters are Due on Maple Street” are connected regarding similar themes of how fear and peer pressure can tear apart a community. For instance, in The Crucible, there is mass hysteria which leads to people like Abigail and her clique to use witchcraft to their advantage in getting revenge and in being superior to others. The girls are all playing the blame game without any proof but spectral evidence under their leader Abigail. However, this hysteria can lead to people not thinking and not being reasonable before they accuse their neighbors. This goes to show that fear can take over everyone and bring out the worst in people. People start to turn against and lose trust in each other which leads to a divided town. Also, peer pressure can negatively affect a person’s thinking which leads them to destroy and hurt others.

Arthur Miller's play, The Crucible, and the movie with the same name have many differences and similarities, all of which contribute to the individual effectiveness of each in conveying their central message.

In 1952 a play was written by Arthur Miller, about events that happened in Salem in 1692. The play was about affairs, accusations, and innocent people being accused of witches. In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, Abigail and Mary Warren are introduced as two separate people. Although people might see Abigail and Mary Warren as two separate people and nothing alike, they are more alike than meet's the eye. Abigail and Mary Warren have three things in common; they are both are deceitful, they both dishonest, and they are both apprehensive.

The Crucible is arguably the greatest pieces of American literature ever written by playwright Arthur Miller. But, in 1996 a film was created to put the words of Miller onto the big silver screen for many people across the nation to see. Although both works were received very well, the two of them have many different elements. These differences from the book to the movie include the setting, the execution of all the victims, the kiss of John and Abigail, where the girls run, and the discussion of John and Goody Proctor. These differences from the book to the movie have affected both in many different ways.

The themes of justice, community and sacrifice in The Crucible are universal and can be identified in many modern events in history, including the Rwanda Genocide. The genocide in Rwanda and The Salem Witch Hunts in The Crucible have many striking similarities, primarily these are: the hunting down and killing of a group of people identified as being different, the mass killing of people for no valid reason and the taking of revenge on a whole group of people for the acts of one or more individuals of that group.

The Crucible and Half Hanged Mary were written and based off of the Salem Witch trials. The Salem witch trials occurred in colonial Massachusetts between 1692 and 1693. More than 200 people were accused of practicing witchcraft and 20 were executed. Eventually, the colony admitted the trials were a mistake and compensated the families of those convicted. This is similar to today, because people are being accused of things they haven’t done just because they look a certain way or are similar to the people who actually did something bad. Being falsely accused of something can send people into hysterics and send them into a downward spiral. While both Atwood and Miller both seek to reveal the injustices incurred by the victims of the Salem witch trials, Miller focuses on the effects of hysteria and religious zealotry on society, while Atwood aims to commemorate the excruciating experience of a single victim.

Both literary works were written about the same time period, the Puritan era, hence their strong views on women and their roles in Puritan society, though one is a larger extreme than the other. Arthur Miller and Anne Bradstreet both have God as a main theme in their works. Though the writers have Puritan life as a major theme they also have many differences in their writing styles. The Crucible was not written in the Puritan era, the story was written as an allegory to Communism (The Communist Witch Hunt); because in the 1950’s Arthur was accused as a Communist spy. Rather than Anne Bradstreet who lived in this time period. Also in Bradstreet’s writings she largely focuses, with her Puritan-related works, on more of the familial side of the Puritan lifestyle. When Arthur Miller writes more closely relate to the Puritan woman's relationship with her husband and the corruptness of Puritan society. In Bradstreet’s portrayal of the Puritan woman in her poem Upon the Burning of Our House, is an attached woman, to her memories in her possession and with reason she figures out that God is the only that is constant and everlasting in her life. Arthur Miller portrayal of the Puritan are at opposite spectrums of the Puritan, the loyal Elizabeth’s; which her husband knows when he says, “ That woman will never lie, Mr. Danforth.”(Miller 85), or

The Scarlet Letter and The Crucible are two stories both set in the early days of the Massachusetts colony. Both of these stories have many similarities between them, including setting, situations, and conflict. The two stories were also very different. The effects of sin on the characters, how they deal with their sin, and the consequences of their actions are different in each story. The Crucible and The Scarlet Letter are different works and although they deal with similar conflicts the consequences and end results are very different.

n the time of being treated like nothing, there were multiple things that made people feel that way and were brought to light. McCarthyism and The Crucible were examples of horrifying events in history that gave a whole new meaning to unfair trials. For witches, if they were found guilty, their life would be spared. If they chose to stay with God, they were killed for choosing the right choice. The Crucible and McCarthyism are very alike and different because of the way Arthur Miller made people feel based on assumptions.

The Crucible was about a group of girls who lied about seeing witches and the devil. The whole community sat back and watched different townspeople get hanged because they didn't want to tell a lie. The girls faked being cursed and having the devil come to them at night while they were sleeping. The story is so silly it's hard to believe but these things were actually inspired by a true story. Innocent people were hanged or stoned to death all based upon lies.

Thomas Brooke says the following, “Pride grows in the heart with the decrease of other sins and thrives on their decay. Satan is subtle. He will make us proud of our very graces. He will make us proud that we are not proud.” Today, there are many religions all over the world, spanning to Christianity to Buddhism to Judaism, all of those mentioned and all of those not mentioned have evolved over the course of hundreds to thousands of years as everything began here on Earth. A handful of them are different, while a few of them are so alike that the two religions might as well be the same from then on out, but everybody tends to separate themselves from others because, well, the sects believe in different bits of information than from the other one. However, in saying this, what was religion like a long time ago when the people were expected to follow a church because those were the rules, which cannot be broken. Puritans were the main focus when the British originally arrived in the Americas, Puritans were a group of English Reformed Protestants, so not exactly Christian, more of a Catholic type of people. For the purposes of analysis, Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Scarlet Letter and Arthur Miller’s “Crucible” will be compared and contrasted in the ways that are, adultery, witchcraft, and finally the symbolism of the forest.
