Similarities Between The Crucible And John Proctor

The poem "To My Dear and Loving Husband" has a lot of similarities to a section of "The Crucible," but it also has some differences. They are similar because the woman in the poem will do anything for her husband's love, and John Proctor will do anything to get Elizabeth to forgive him. For example, the woman says "I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold," or in other words her love is more valuable than gold. This shows that she will put her love above everything else. In contrast, they are also different from each other because the relationship in the poem seems to be perfect, but there are some problems in John Proctor and Elizabeth's relationship. Specifically, John Proctor says "I would have your forgiveness, Elizabeth." He wants

The traditional story begins with a groups of girls performing rituals and drinking blood in the forest, under the instruction from a slave named Tituba, and getting caught by Abigail’s uncle at the end. In real life the group of girls performed this voodoo in front of Abigail’s house. In the book, Betty, Parris’s daughter and Ann, Putnam’s daughter were throwing fits, but in reality, all the girls from the group were suffering fits. Another issue, is the relationship between John Proctor and Abigail Williams. The Crucible tells us that Abigail was once a servant for Elizabeth Proctor, John’s wife. Elizabeth fired Abigail after finding out that her husband had had an affair with Abigail. This event causes for reverend Parris to question why she was fired and also causes for Abigail to still want John Proctor because she says she loves him and he loves her but on his

Arthur Miller’s play, The Crucible portrays the historical events of the Salem Witch trials. Insanity and fear drive these Puritans to reveal their true colors while facing their accusers in the prejudice courts. Of all the madness in Salem, two women stand out above the rest. Although they both create suspense and tension in the play the difference between the two is also evident. Hatred and revenge live in the heart of the teenage adulteress Abigail Williams while truth and kindness resides in the soul of Elizabeth Proctor faithful wife of John Proctor.

Heroism among individuals often has to endue a test, which will help in determining who they are. To full decide who is a hero and who is not a hero, it shows on when individuals face a problem or hard situation or barrier along their life where the characters did not give in until their death. This situation helps in characterizing a coward person and a hero one. A coward person will quit the fight and seek other easy ways or even give up while a hero will fight will all means and courage to ensure that he/she wins. Those who are heroic are always brave, and at all time, they stand still no matter how the situation is stressing or painful. When people encounter a problem along their way of life, either they fight back, or they either give in or allow others to fight and solve the problem. Those who without any fear are the real and real heroes. In The Crucible by Miller, amount all the characters, John Proctor and Giles Corey are heroes. This study compares the bravery between these two character, both John Proctor and Giles Corey shows heroism as ethical characters, John Proctor and Giles Corey plays their role as heroes in The Crucible as they show integrity in their actions, and both and mostly Proctor is even- tempered, respected, not easily controlled and feared.

Arthur Miller's verifiable play, The Crucible, depicts the recorded occasions of the Salem witch trials through a swarm of life-changing characters. Trepidation drives these Puritans to uncover their actual feelings while confronting their informers in the predisposition courts before coldblooded judges. While in the long run all the individuals of Salem get subject to this frenzy, two ladies emerge above the rest. Retribution and disgrace live in the heart of the young adulteress, Abigail Williams, while truth and exemplary nature dwell in the soul of Elizabeth Proctor, John Proctor's dedicated wife. Although they both elevate the strain and tension of the play, Abigail William's and Elizabeth Proctor's disparities lead to turmoil because

The protagonist of the Crucible, John Proctor, is to blame for the Salem Witch Trials that occurred in 1692 because he took advantage of Abigail Williams, was a failure as a leader, and gave a delayed confession to lechery. The origins of the Salem Witch trials arises from Abigail’s desire for John Proctor. Prior to the trials, it is revealed that Proctor and Abigail had an affair that had caused Abigail to fall in love with him, leading to her insane actions later on. Proctor, who should have known what is right or wrong, lusted and took advantage of Abigail and continues to do so even after he “rejects” her.

Purist Salem, Massachusetts in 1692 suffered from a rapidly increasing phenomenon: witchcraft accusations and trials. The Crucible is a play that recounts the times of this incident.

“Everyone loves a witch hunt as long as it's someone else's witch being hunted.” this is a quote by Walter Kirn. I feel this quote really describes the book and real life event during the witch trials very well. I believe that the book and it’s connection to real events are fairly inaccurate in the way of characters, and certain events. People such as John Proctor and somewhat similar in text to their real life self. I feel the Characters are kind of a inaccurate part of the play as I found in a few articles and sources saying this. The events that take place and the things of this sort are also very similar to what happened during the times of the trials. Miller most likely kept them the same or nearly the same to be accurate and show events in America's harsh past and similar things happening at the time of him writing it. These are the similarities and differences I found from real events and the play.

In The Crucible, people’s words, actions, and minds change with the attributions from the devil. During this time, individuals, such as John Proctor and Abigail Williams, could be prosecuted for witchcraft. John Proctor, a tragic hero, spoke his mind with honor, integrity, and truthfulness. John is well-respected in the community, but soon gets ruined by a 17-year old, Abigail Williams. She ruins

In Arthur Miller’s short play The Crucible, one is swept on a world pool of adventures through the rampant society of the Puritans. As the plot begins to unfold, the reader is able to detect a shift in the society as the fear of witches living amongst the community compounds tensions already formed. Tension occurs in various occasions throughout the play such as neighbors arguing over one another for land, Abigail’s group of followers foreshadowing her every move and following through with her surplus demands, or even Abigail sparking the commonality of lying about seeing people with the devil. On numerous accounts one can see characters such as Abigail, Proctor, and Putnam disregard the outcomes that stem from their actions and the punishments endured by others as a result. It is evident that the effect of one’s actions on another is irrelevant and discarded when attempting to escape a problem prevalent within one’s life.

People believe that actions happen for many different reasons and tend to blame others before themselves. Some believe that the devil is doing the work in the body of someone else, and some believe that the devil does not, and some even believe in witchcraft.

A group of young girls go out into the woods which is forbidden in Salem. They are sent into a frenzy when the town’s reverend, Parris, spots them dancing in the woods. The girls are led by Abigail Williams, a young teenage girl who lives with her uncle, reverend Parris. Abigail is not the most truthful girl, which ends up causing 19 innocent people their lives. Previous to these events, Abigail was a servant in the Proctor household, but was sent off after Elizabeth Proctor found out about the affair between Abigail and her husband, John Proctor. In Abigail’s case the more lies she told, the more lives she ended.
