Rebecca's Monologue From The Crucible '

Rebecca Nurse and I portray similar personality traits because of displaying our kindness, optimism, and religiousness. I would like to believe that if I were Rebecca during the Salem Witchcraft Trials, I would act the same way as she

Rebecca Nurse and I have similar motherly instincts. Rebecca had many children and grandchildren. She spent much time around kids and has raised a family. She proves she is good with children by calming Betty when no one else could. I would like to think that I am also good

The people in the town of Salem will forever never be the same all because of the actions that one girl played out through the whole town. She turn the small town of Salem, Massachusetts into a terrorizing place which ended with the passing of many innocent people. This story will never be forgotten as it is a deranged and unrealistic part of history.

Elizabeth and her sister in law Rebecca Mary Seton nursed the sick and dying among their family, friends, and needy neighbors. Elizabeth was one of the founders and charter member of The Society for the Relief of poor widows. With the death of Williams’s father, the seton family fortunes began to decline. William and Elizabeth took Williams six younger sibling, ages six to sixteen.

Rebecca Nurse would always try to keep a good reputation for many different situations and/or reasons. She was very truthful throughout the whole story, and also stayed true to what she believed in/knew. For example, when Abigail was extending her story so she wouldn’t get hanged, Rebecca Nurse knew that she was just pretending and continued to say that during court trying to protect other people that were being accused. She was also accused of killing the Putnam’s seven babies but knew she didn’t kill them always showed that she’d rather tell the truth and die, then live her whole life

I can relate to Rebecca because of our shared values of faith. Throughout the witch trials, Rebecca's faith is continually tested. Rebecca’s faith is so strong that she died for her faith. She is constantly faithful to god. When given the choice to lie and admit to being a witch to survive, she instead tells the truth and is killed because of it. Rebecca could

Mrs. Ann Putnam: Thomas Putnam’s wife. Her jealousy of Rebecca Nurse leads her to accuse Goody Nurse of witchcraft. She also believes a witch had something to do with the

Rebecca Nurse was a good woman to the people and to the church. She had eleven children and twenty-six grandchildren. Goody Nurse was accused by Ann Putnam a jealous woman. Ann Putnam believes that Goody Nurse was responsible for the deaths of her seven infant children. Ann Putnam said “You think it God’s work you should never lose a child, nor grandchild either, and bury all but one? There are wheels within wheels in this village! And fire within fires!” ( 148 ) Many people accused her even more after that but all Rebecca Nurse wanted to do was stop all the foolishness that the girls and other people were doing in Salem.

Abigail and the girls used the prejudice of ageism to their advantage. When talking to Reverend Parris, Abigail admitted, “we did dance; let you tell them I confessed it-and I'll be whipped if I must be. But they're speakin' of witchcraft. Betty's not witched” (Miller 9). The young age of the girls made a shield of innocence that protects them from any accusation. Another victim of ageism was Rebecca Nurse. When Goody Nurse was introduced, her description said, “"Rebecca Nurse, seventy-two, enters. She is white-haired, leaning upon her walking-stick” (Arthur 23). The people and the judiciaries thought Rebecca had potential of being a witch since she is older. One main solution to the problem of this particular type of prejudice was the petition of ninety-nine people that declared a good name towards Rebecca Nurse. The petition backfired and Judge Danforth brought the people who signed the paper into the court for questioning. In result of the different ages of the people in Salem, the court system became unjust with the accused leaning towards older

Rebecca Akin was born in 1980, and was a teenager during the early and late 1980s.Rebecca’s family included her father, mother, and two younger sisters. A typical day for her involved going to school, coming home to do homework and chores, and hanging out with friends or going outside.After dinner, she would finish up her homework, and then relax before bed.

' The spiteful and envious actions of Goody Putnam, resulted in Rebecca's death. 'I have this morning signed away the soul of Rebecca Nurse'. In Goody Putnam's search for an excuse and reason for her deceased children. The willingness of Mrs Putnam to accuse Rebecca is influenced by the mass accusations from the citizens of Salem as many of them attempt to receive more property. 'Vengeance is walking Salem'. In doing so she allows her truthfulness, judgement and morality to be clouded and disturbed by desire for revenge.

The plot of Rebecca is an interesting and suspenseful story, but it would greatly differ if it were to occur in today’s current time period. Though some aspects of life have remained the same, there have been many changes in history and culture since Rebecca was written. Because of the contrast of roles in society, views on marriage, and technology for crimes, the plot of Rebecca would not make sense in the twenty-first century of America. The roles in the society of Rebecca differ from today’s

At the age of 24, Rebecca married Frances Nurse after relocating to Salem, Massachusetts. Rebecca bore four sons and four daughters adding to the family. “The wife of a respectable farmer,Francis Nurse, and by this time a great-grandmother,she was famed for her piety. No one came closer in character to the ideal of a Puritan saint.” (Hill 1803). Both her and her husband Francis, attended church regularly and were well respected members of the community of Salem. “Rebecca Nurse was an elderly and respected member of the Salem community. Nurse was one of the first "unlikely" witches to be accused. At the time of her trial she was 71 years old, and had "acquired a reputation for exemplary piety that was virtually unchallenged in the community." It was written of Nurse: "This venerable lady, whose conversation and bearing were so truly saint-like, was an invalid of extremely delicate condition and appearance, the mother of a large family, embracing sons, daughters, grandchildren, and one or more great-grandchildren. She was a woman of piety, and simplicity of heart." Her saintly reputation preceded her, so when she was accused of witchcraft in 1692 many members of the community came forward and spoke on her behalf. Thirty nine well respected members of the community came forward and signed a petition on Nurse’s half vouching for her behavior, while several others scared to come forward, wrote individual petitions vouching for her reputation and

It was early Spring when I was called to Salem. I believed that I was merely treating a sick child. But as I spent more time in the dreaded town, I realized that I was gravely mistaken. Two months prior to today, I was standing in front of the gallows. The first woman was being hanged that day, she would not confess in dealing with the devil.

Rebecca Nurse trial was the turning point of the Salem witch trials. Her trail split the state from east to west because she was accused of witchcraft and many colonists didn’t believe she was a witch because she was a good person. Rebecca supporters were
