John Proctor Rest In Peace Analysis

John Proctor’s decision to die for his name was the wrong one because despite his attempt to die an honest man, his name would remain tainted by his sinful affair regardless of whether he decided to live or die. The reality of Proctor’s decision is that he abandoned his wife, their three sons, and their unborn child for an ultimately futile act of self-sacrifice made for the approval of the townspeople. Throughout the course of the book, Proctor’s guilt from his affair with Abigail continuously guides his decisions and the moment it came time to decide whether to confess and live or maintain his innocence and hang was no different. Proctor decided that he would rather die than taint his name, but this decision stems from the guilt which constantly

For this paper, I will critique Wendell Phillip’s speech, “Murder of Lovejoy”, and examine it in relation to its history, audience, speaker, and purpose.

Foil characters are two characters that contrast viewpoints and actions of each other. John Proctor and John Hale are foils of each other by the end of the play because they have contrasting viewpoints. Reverend Hale is a man in his low forties, he is an intelligent man. Additionally, he is very proud of his position because he feels that he has earned it. During the course of the play John Hale goes from a confident and righteous man to preaching deceit rather than truth. John Proctor is a farmer in Salem, who is consumed by the guilt of his adultery. Initially, he is uncertain about his faith, but ultimately finds his goodness at the end of the play. John Proctor and John Hale are similar in the way they are prideful individuals and doubt the court, but they are also different in their views of the importance of religious practices, this causes them to be foils of each other because they disagree on the importance of keeping their integrity.

This story, according to him, is told to show the reader how he feels, because O’Brien feels as though the truth is that by doing nothing, he killed the man, so in his story, he does kill the man. Imagery is the biggest literary device seen in this story, but diction also helps make the story seem more true, it helps the reader to truly believe that O’Brien did in fact throw the grenade that killed the man. This story is told from O’Brien’s point of view, which would be first person, despite the fact that the word “I” is

Dear ladies and gentlemen of the Appeals Court of Boston: I stand here today in representation of Elizabeth and John Proctor. While it is clear to me this trial has been closed. Hear me out, for the Proctors deserve a second trial. As Danforth was not fair in his justifications of the Proctor’s innocence. He was very fallacious in his reasoning. Which leads to the belief that the issue lies in the way Danforth handled this cases in its entirety. From the way he addressed the people in court and the way he accepted the information given by ones in the court.

John Proctor has just witnessed his wife, Elizabeth Proctor, arrested for attempting to murder Abigail. She was arrested after Herrick found a needle impaled in the belly of the poppet, the same region where Abigail claimed she was stabbed. In this scene, Proctor is angrily moving towards Mary Warren and demands her to tell the truth about the poppet and the person responsible for sticking the needle in the stomach.

Additionally, Mary knows the power that girls such as Abigail have now acquired and their uses for it will be towards vengeance. If Mary were to anger these girls, they might turn on her and accuse

When a mentor gives you lemons, you make the lemonade. In the book The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, the person most important in Bod Owens’s life is his mentor, Silas. Bod Owens did not have the average teenage life; he was raised by two dead parents who live in a graveyard, and was not allowed to leave the graveyard unless his parents gave him permission. The lady on the Grey is the symbol of death that mentors Silas, which gives her and Silas a similar “job” in their afterlife.

The Silence of the lambs (1991) is in doubt a film which demonstrates a well-constructed horror film. The film, ranging with scenes, shots, and frames that were well constructed to be identified as horrific. The films cinematography shifts the films narrative and impacts the film, especially the film’s frames. It seems reasonable to suppose that from the film’s frames and of those of the characters expressions, they shape the film’s genre to be horrifying, psychological, and thrilling and they guide viewers towards where the film’s narrative will lead to.
