Crucible Chapter 14-16

The play The Crucible, was written by Arthur Miller in 1953. It is a story he wrote after his own experience being accused of communism. This affected a lot of well-known people in the United States during this time, and was considered a witch hunt similar to the Salem witch hunts. Arthur Miller wrote The Crucible about a man, John Proctor, who has an affair with Abigail Williams. She catches feelings for him and tries to cast a spell on John Proctor’s wife to kill her; this gets out of hand when Abigail’s uncle catches her and some other girls dancing during the spell in the woods. Suddenly, the whole town is living in fear of who is practicing witchcraft, who could be a witch, and innocent people are killed if they don’t confess to being witches. Overall, mass fear and panic, and false accusations are seen over and over throughout the play.

In Act II, we see quite a bit going on, and it seems to be the climax of the story. We see Torvald belittle women once again when he says " is it to get about now that the new manager has changed his mind at his wife's bidding." We learn that Torvald expedited Krogstad's dismissal, and thus we see Nora acting really out of sorts as she tries harder and harder to maker sure Torvald never learns her secret- even going as far as to pretend she has no clue how to do the Tarantella to stop Torvald from reading the letter that Krogstad left. Finally, the Act leaves us with Nora stating "Thirty-One" hours to live- so us as readers are left wanting to know- is she going to commit suicide? Will Krogstad kill her? Or is it hypothetical- that she believes

Act 3 takes place in the church, which had been turned into a courtroom for the witch trials. Mary testified that they were only pretending to be afflicted by the witchcraft. Proctor was questioned about his religious beliefs. Judge Danforth arrested Giles for not giving him the name of the man who gave him information on the witchcraft, because he didn’t want to give away Putnam. Abigail was then sent on trial, and denied Mary’s testimony. The girls accused Mary of bewitching them with a cold wind and that she was responsible of the witchcraft. When Abigail accused Mary, Proctor called Abigail a whore and confessed his affair with her. He explained that Elizabeth fired her when she discovered it. He claimed that Abigail wanted Elizabeth to

For the first shot of this scene I would like to begin with an interior establishing shot to show where the interaction between Margaret and Glenn will take place. The shot will be in the perspective of Glenn, and will be a long shot that shows the entire room. This shot will show that Margaret is the character in power throughout the situation. Margaret will be placed in front of a large window with her back turned toward the camera and Glenn. The street lights outside of the window cause her to be back lit, and her back being turned shows that she will start the meeting when she wants to.

During this unit, Pontius Pilate questions Jesus as the final decision-maker in this trial. In verse 11 he asks “Are you the king of the Jews?” in which Jesus replied “You have said so.” Pilate continues the interrogation after the elders and the high priest have concluded their testimonies against Jesus. An element of irony is introduced as Pilate is amazed that Jesus made no rebuttal against such claims.

It sets the beginning scene of the story containing a crowd of people in front of a heavy wooden oak door. The building is a prison and outside the wall is a rosebush that represents a symbol of nature's kindness to the condemned, or relief in unrelenting sorrow and gloom.

Langston was confident about his faith when the revival began. The reader can see he is confident in the text when Langston says, “I had heard a great many old people say the same thing and it seemed to me they ought to know.” This shows that he believed that the older people who have been saved for years know how amazing it is. He was a frequent attendee at his auntie Reed’s church. To be precise he has been to this church every night for weeks for this large revival.

I feel that extremism is dangerous because it can lead to intolerance, lying and hurting others.

Scapegoating. According to Urban Dictionary, “a scapegoat is defined as, ‘A person or person or object that is used to lay the blame on for all that goes wrong, regardless of the contributions of others. This will usually carry on until the scapegoat has gone, or has managed to successfully defend itself against the arguments presented to it’".The pointing out of a person as an accused or a sinner happens because of the intolerance to any deviation from the society beliefs. This is seen in the play,The Crucible; articles Death Penalty Disgrace and A True Confession. In these articles, the main thing that stands out is that people can be

The Crucible: Act II (Questions (A-U) A: Proctor compliments the dish after adding seasoning because he thinks that it was not very good before he added salt to it. B: Proctor is disappointed because there is tension between him and Elizabeth. C: Proctor chose Sunday for the walk with Elizabeth because it would get him out of attending church.

On the first Sunday after Easter it is usual that the editors of the Revised Common Lectionary set just the one First Testament reading, Psalm 133, and the Gospel reading, John 20:19ff. The Psalm oozes hopefulness within the household. “How very good and pleasant it is when kindred live together in unity!” How good and pleasant it is when our homes, our schools, our churches and our communities are places of peace and harmony. Given that these ancient writings belong to all the peoples of The Book the unity to which the Psalm calls is directed toward Jew, Christian and Moslem.

Scene 7 What does the audience expect? Why do you need to be a member? The audience expects Robert to confront Jerry about the affair that he is having with his wife. He ruined their vacation in Italy when Robert learned about it at Venice.

Elizabeth sits by the window. Her chair is turned away from the rising sun. She sits still.

During Act 2, many occurrences happened. One in particular took my attention with a bit more force than some of the other content. According to the text, “… But not Sarah Good. For Sarah Good confessed, y’see. I hear a voice, a screamin’ voice, and it were my voice-and at all at once I remembered everything she done to me” (Miller 60)! This quote shows that this woman, Sarah Good, did something to Mary Warren that made her traumatized and afraid. According to the text, “… ‘Sarah Good,’ says he, ‘what curse did you mumble that this girl must fall sick after turning you away’” (Miller 61)? This quote demonstrates the acts Sarah did to Mary. I connected to this scene by remembering an old show that recently aired called Merlin.
