Love In The Crucible

I believe that the poem “To My Dear and Loving Husband” and the play The Crucible have nothing in common when it comes to the love between the two. For example, “I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold.” Anne Bradstreet says this because the love for her husband is so strong she wouldn't trade it for all the money in the world. “I have confessed it” John Proctor confesses to elizabeth for committing adultery. Bradstreet clearly loves her husband you whether or not Proctor loves Elizabeth is very questionable. “I would have your forgiveness” John Proctor asks for forgiveness from Elizabeth maybe because he loves her, or maybe he feels bad. I wouldn't say he loves her because if he did, do you think he would cheat on her? He clearly

In The Crucible Arthur Miller uses the setting, the plot, and characterization to propel the play. In this play The Crucible one of the major events was the adultery that was committed. The adultery was committed by John Proctor and Abigail Williams, adultery is voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a person who is not their spouse. Adultery is, a god awful sin.

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

Innocent people are accused for things they may not have done-this brings fear to everyone around them, and no one will feel safe to do anything. In the play The Crucible by Arthur Miller, there are many people being accused of wrongdoing for actions they may have not done. The Crucible tells a story of a group of young girls dancing in the woods. They are accused of calling for the devil-they chose people who they feel may be attached to the devil and wrongfully accuse them. In a more recent event many people in the city of Jordan, Minnesota are accused of being involved with sexual assault. When heavy events occur in a town, the people are quick to come to conclusions, which will take forth many people

Arthur Miller is considered one of the greatest American playwrights of the 20th century. He has written many acclaimed plays, including The Crucible. Written in 1953, The Crucible uses the historical perspective of the Salem Witch Trials which took place between 1962 and 1963. A lot of the inspiration for the events that take place in the play were from the McCarthyism era that was taking place at the time. It is evident that The Crucible is a critical look at the way the Communist hunt was handled, and used the hysteria and madness of the witch trials to show how history repeats itself. The relationship between men and women and the way the woman in the society is treated is also a prominent theme throughout the play.

A tragic hero is a character who makes a judgment error that inevitably leads to his/her own destruction. Many characters in The Crucible have personal flaws that lead to tragedy. In the play there are two characters, John Proctor and Reverend Hale. We are going to talk about which one is more of a tragic hero than the other. They both have big roles in the play, but they start fighting for different things in the beginning.

Throughout The Crucible, John Proctor is a main character that changes from beginning to end. These changes can be compared to the song “Forgiveness” by Chris Young. In the beginning, John lacks the ability to forgive himself and sees himself as a sinner. He wants nothing more than for Elizabeth to forgive him because he feels like he needs her forgiveness for him to be able to forgive himself. John emphasizes, “Spite only keeps me silent. It is hard to give a lie to dogs. I would have your forgiveness, Elizabeth” (Miller 1161). This is an example of how John longs for his wife’s forgiveness for his terrible sin he has committed. Guilt is weighed heavy on John’s shoulders and this is something he struggles with. Likewise, John’s character

Jealousy lies within every human, but sometimes it strikes out in violent costly time periods, such as eliminating your enemies by declaring them a witch. Arthur Miller in The Crucible displays how jealousy can control a person to enter a horrible conflict with another, that will have deadly consequences. Miller displays jealousy through his characters Abigail, Thomas Putnam, and Goody Putnam.

Influence does not equal social or political position, in fact, some of the most common people are the most influential. Rather than being determined by external factors, such as rank, influence is determined by intrinsic characteristics. Elizabeth Proctor in Arthur Miller’s The Crucible is a clear example of this, since Miller sets her as a common, powerless wife in a hostile town full of people with rank and power, but her character sets her apart from this setting. From a superficial point of view, she might appear as another example of powerless women in Puritan society, and it seems that her purpose is to pass through the play surreptitiously. However, she has a much greater purpose than this. The way that women are portrayed in Miller’s play gives the reader no reason to believe that Elizabeth Proctor would deviate

The Importance of Individuality Many people throughout the world have different definitions of individualism. According to Merriam-Webster, an online dictionary, “the belief that the needs of each person are more important than the needs of the whole society or group” is the definition of individualism. This definition seems to view individualism as a bad thing for society, but if each individual is not able to rely on themselves, then there would be no society because no one would be able to get anything done.

The Crucible by Arthur Miller is a dramatic play telling us about the witch craft activity that happened in Massachusetts during 1692. Nineteen men and women and two dogs were hung due to witchcraft (Miller vii). This drama displays three themes: jealousy, reputation, and religion. The first theme I discovered was jealousy. Jealousy was displayed by Abigail when John Proctor denies her love.

The first relationship struggle is, the obvious, between John and Elizabeth Proctor. The problems that occurred between them was the affair between John and Abigail Williams. The affair happened and afterwards John felt guilty and cut off ties with Abigail; this would have been difficult because she watched the Proctor children and cleaned their home. Elizabeth forgave John and she said, “John, I counted myself so plain, so poorly made, no honest love could come to me!,” (p 127). When she had said this she was blaming herself for his affair with Abigail because she was not pretty enough. In the end, John and Elizabeth’s love was true and she stood by him when he was killed.

Society commonly tells us to be ourselves or to just be unique, but if we do that and it's not the way we are “supposed” to look or feel then we are pushed to the side with everyone else that decided to step out of the box. In all three of the stories we read, they all have that one common theme, that the people and environment around us greatly determines the way we dress, think, and act. The women and men in The Crucible were all expected to be very pure and to follow the bible, although that was not the case. In The Scarlet Letter, Hester's’ daughter Pearl is shunned from the rest of the townspeople because of the clothes Hester dresses her in. Lenny in Of Mice and Men was taken advantage of because he could not fully grasp the concept of what everyone else

In the play “The Crucible” many people are harmed, accused, and taken from their loved ones as a group of young women rake their nails through the town. The play centers itself around a young couple and what they have to endure. It focuses on their weaknesses and strengths which makes the story interesting and plays into an important dynamic. The struggles they endure their relationship makes them strong. Throughout this play the challenges that John and Elizabeth face put them into danger, rumors, and even death.
