Effects Of The Crucible Act 2 Scene 2

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

This chapter is about more of the funeral. It starts by Henrik leaving for an unknown reason. Kirsti went to bed and the other two girls didn’t want to go to bed yet they were exhausted. The peacefulness of the room was disturbed by Nazi soldiers. They were suspicious why the lights were on. Mma describes that they were having a pre funeral gathering. They were asking why the coffin was closed. Mama said that it was because she was very sick when she died so there were a lot of germs, of course she was lying though.Mama got slapped as they said to open it when they leave. Everyone was stunned but had to act normal. Peter started to read something from the bible which was usual at funerals. The part was called number the stars like the title. This went on for a long time until the casket was opened.

To start off I felt this was a good movie overall. One scene I felt that had stood out was when the black man was showed the pattern on the cloth showing that there was a house he can escape to with his daughter. This scene kind of gave us a hint that many people probably knew about the house but was too scared to escape in fear of being caught. I felt that the black man was very determined to get his daughter away safely no matter what so much that he went in to unknown water just to hide from the slave masters. I was a little confused at the begging because I thought slave work consisted of picking cotton or some other hardship. There was a scene that stood out to me on a personal note. The scene were the black man was hanged and his daughter was watching as this occurred.

In Act Ⅱ Scene 2 of The Crucible, a 1953 play by the Arthur Miller, Abigail Williams, the antagonist, meets John Proctor, the protagonist, in the forest at night, where John asks Abigail to free his wife in court the next day, or otherwise he will expose their affair in public to ruin her. This fast-paced short scene portrays Abigail as pious and possessed, which contradicts the impression given by previous scenes. Most importantly, the scene reveals the crucial plan of Proctor which he is planning to use to take down Abigail. By excluding the scene, Miller eliminates the unfavourable danger of jeopardizing the credibility of the characters due to the inconsistency of descriptions, heightens the dramatic effect when Proctor confesses in

In the crucible there has been a character and or characters that were afraid to admit they were wrong. In certain situations I have gone through the same situation before, so I can relate to that. First, with the crucible, Rev. John Hale would be afraid to admit that he was wrong. John Hale is a witch expert from Beverly, he comes to Salem to check out what is going on as far as witchcraft. He thinks he knows everything and is very arrogant about it. He has not seen anything like this before. Things are happening in Salem such as people going into a coma, and people going against each other.

Act I of The Crucible begins after the excitement of the girls dancing in the forest. We also see that the excitement of Abigail and Proctor’s affair has passed as well, and perhaps Arthur Miller’s reason for starting the play at this point in time is a way of showing the effects of the girls’ actions rather than the actions themselves. The play opens on Parris praying over Betty, in her unusual state, to emphasize the consequences that come with sinning. This would make sense because the play is set in a Puritan society, where the threat of consequences governed every aspect of the Puritans’ life. Miller’s choice of opening scene not only reflects the Puritan thought process, but also establishes tone.

throughout the play. For example the theme, the truth will set you free and lies have no end

“You can’t change anyone else, but people do change in relationship to your change” -Jack Canfield tells the reader that people can change in relationships in emotion or physical, and the relationship can always be fixed. In the play, “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller, Elizabeth Proctor does change from frustration to reconciliation with her husband which, develops the theme a person feelings can change when someone is in danger in a bad situation.

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

The strength of a dying man can be found in the words, “Give them no tear! Tears pleasure them! Show honor now, show a stony heart and sink them with it!” (The Crucible, 4. 751-753). This quote is spoken directly from Elizabeth Proctor after her husband was condemning himself to hanging. This married couple faced major conflicts during this historical event in which The Crucible took place. The setting took place during the Salem Witch Trials, which was a period of chaos led by children and caused multiple people to be murdered.The foundations of the community were built upon strict Puritan beliefs. Due to an opportunity for accepted accusations and grudges, the village fueled the chaos and fear of the witchcraft outbreak. Human nature proves to be weak in willpower to remain “good natured” and will falter when given the opportunity to do so. John Proctor was a religious man, but carried his personal burdens of his sins against his wife. Elizabeth Proctor was a solemn mother and wife who kept faith in every action she carried out. Arthur Miller used his play as a commentary on the weaknesses of human nature through the characters John and Elizabeth Proctor.

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.

Well the crucible is like Mccarthyism where everyone is blaming everybody for being a communist. Then the fingers start pointing at everyone calling people a communist like in the crucible except everybody is being blamed for a witch every thing they do .

In chapter 5 the tone is an important part of the chapter and the whole story overall, it’s something that makes the story interesting and something that should be focused on throughout the story.

Act III of The Crucible should be underlined marks the main issues developed that lead to the character’s demise. The people are gathered in court, disputing innocence or guiltiness. The accused are to suffer unjust fates although they are innocent and virtuous. Many factors affect the outcome of Salem’s future, but struggles for power and ego shown by Deputy Governor Danforth and Parris cause injustice to prevail.

Act one, scene one: Troy and his best friend Bono, are drinking on a friday after work. In this scene the audience can get an idea of how close they are and gather information between their conversation. Throughout their conversation, Bono eventually ask about Troy’s affair with Alberta who he has buying drinks and walking near her house. Troy eventually reveals his secret which causes one of the plot elements in the play. Another significance of the opening scene is when Troy forbids Cory from playing football and going to college. Their relationship falls furthermore where Cory ends up making a huge decision in his life.
