In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, a tale of the witchcraft trials in Salem, the theme of forgiveness was a reoccurring subject throughout the characters’ moral hardships. Elizabeth Proctor, John Proctor, and God are all the subjects of giving or receiving forgiveness. Miller portrays this theme by having all the characters be affected by the sins of themselves and others. In the Bible, the Greek word translated “forgiveness” literally means “to let go,” according to JW.org. Throughout the play, each character was uniquely affected by how they chose to forgive others.

“There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love (Bryant H. McGill).” The Crucible, written by Arthur Miller in 1953, is set in Salem, Massachusetts. The play occurs at the time of The Salem Witch Trials, which took place from 1692 until 1693. Nineteen people were sentenced to death for failing to admit to witchcraft, with many more being accused. Two of the main characters in the play accused of witchcraft are John and Elizabeth Proctor. As the play progresses, the reader sees their relationship evolve; from cold in the beginning, to supportive in the middle, to a caring, forgiving relationship in the end.

Finally, the protagonist of the story has the most notable battle within his conscience. Hazel Motes preaches against redemption and the need for atonement, yet cleansing and torturing himself by the end of the novel. The doctrine of the Church of Christ Without Christ, for example, is “there’s only one truth and that is that there’s no truth!” (O’Connor 165). This bold statement from Haze outright denies Christianity and the belief system with which he was taught, yet he seemingly stands firm in it. This rebellion, in turn, results in Haze’s isolation from other humans. In “Penance and Love in Wise Blood: Seeing Redemption,” Susan Srigley describes the alienation of Haze, saying, “…Hazel Motes tries to construct a reality that is not only independent of God, but by consequence, other human beings as well” (96). Through starting his church, Haze is able to voice his inner rebellion to those who choose to hear his message. After years of isolation away from his spiritual side, Haze’s inner angst boils over, and he slanders anything or anyone associated with the faith he once knew.

Ben exemplified compassion in many cases, were he would sacrifice himself or his personal trails for someone else troubles.

Now in the literary story Benjamin has a grandfather who at the start was antagonized, became to enjoy his grandson’s company. It is a brief account of his grandfather but a meaningful one as this was the first one who gave him a sense of acceptance. The film version gave him acceptance through Queenie and we never get to know a grandfather; though one could say the patrons at the old folk’s home could have been grandparent surrogates for Benjamin. The patrons at the old folks home taught him many things but his experience living there taught him not to fear death and what loss was about which, in a sense, desensitized the character so that when Queenie passes he is not visibly upset.

The plot idea pegs back to the beginning of the 1st century where a merchant and a rich Jewish prince, Judah Ben-Hur lives in Jerusalem. His old childhood friend, Messala arrives with the Governor as the Roman Legions serving commander Officer. The old friends are happy and enthusiastic to meet after a long time.

Messala knows the innocence of Ben-Hur to the awful accident but decides to punish him and his family. Messala throws Ben-Hur’s sister and mother to prison whilst he is sent to the galleys. Ben-Hur swears that he was going to revenge and claim freedom for the people from the Roman rule (Wyke 19).
