Summary Of The Crucible Act 2 Scene 4

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.

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

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.

“The Crucible” is a play that takes place in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. The play starts in the woods, the characters Abigail, Betty, Tituba, Mary Warren, and Mercy Lewis were casting spells in the forest. Samuel Parris catches them in the woods and Betty passes out. They go to the Proctors house to make sure Betty is okay. Parris is contemplating on what the town will think of him when they find out what has happened. He tells Abigail to tell him what happened in the woods. Abigail tells him they were dancing.

Body 4: In act four Hale is Humble, and he wants to help those who have been convicted come over to god and not be hung, he is trying to convince them to confess instead of dying. Hale’s willingness to help the convicted individuals is exemplified through the quote “You must pardon them. They will not budge” in which he is talking about the people he is trying to get to confess, who will not, and he later says he needs more time, showing his dedication to helping them. Hale spends act four trying to right himself in the eyes of the lord, and he admits that he was wrong in the beginning by saying “Let you not mistake your duty as I mistook my own. I came into this village like a bridegroom to his beloved, bearing gifts of high religion; the

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

I feel that extremism is dangerous because it can lead to intolerance, lying and hurting others.

Act 3 takes place in the church, which had been turned into a courtroom for the witch trials. Mary testified that they were only pretending to be afflicted by the witchcraft. Proctor was questioned about his religious beliefs. Judge Danforth arrested Giles for not giving him the name of the man who gave him information on the witchcraft, because he didn’t want to give away Putnam. Abigail was then sent on trial, and denied Mary’s testimony. The girls accused Mary of bewitching them with a cold wind and that she was responsible of the witchcraft. When Abigail accused Mary, Proctor called Abigail a whore and confessed his affair with her. He explained that Elizabeth fired her when she discovered it. He claimed that Abigail wanted Elizabeth to

A crucible has two diverse meanings: a vessel used for melting substances that require a high degree of heat or a severe test or trial. The play, The Crucible, uses both definitions in unison to show the fiery atmosphere of the Salem Witch Trials and the severity of the trials. Three primary characters involved in the scorching environment of the Salem Witch Trials are Elizabeth Proctor, Reverend Hale, and John Proctor. Since The Crucible entitles that people are going to go through a test and receive knowledge from it, these three characters gain the most insight from the trials and tests that they endure.

The Crucible, a play, by American playwright Arthur Miller, is set in the small New England town of Salem Massachusetts in 1992. The play opens with Reverend Parris praying beside his daughter Betty Parris 's bed. In the bed Betty lies in some sort of paralyzed state. The town 's doctor, Doctor Griggs, does not know of a medicine to cure Betty’s symptoms and advises Reverend Parris to consider unnatural causes. It becomes rumored among the townspeople of Salem that Betty has fallen victim to witchcraft, because of this Parris requests that Reverend John Hale of Beverly, an expert on witchcraft, examines Betty to confirm the rumor that she is bewitched.

Scapegoating. According to Urban Dictionary, “a scapegoat is defined as, ‘A person or person or object that is used to lay the blame on for all that goes wrong, regardless of the contributions of others. This will usually carry on until the scapegoat has gone, or has managed to successfully defend itself against the arguments presented to it’".The pointing out of a person as an accused or a sinner happens because of the intolerance to any deviation from the society beliefs. This is seen in the play,The Crucible; articles Death Penalty Disgrace and A True Confession. In these articles, the main thing that stands out is that people can be

George: O.K….O.K., whatever you say... (They both sit on the couch. He tries to kiss her. She moves away) Look, we’ve had a nice evening: let’s not spoil it, huh?...

When Act II Scene III first started, it was all good vibes. Everyone was laughing and extremely happy. Ruth was excited to move into the new house so she can run herself a nice, warm bath. Then, Walter and Ruth went out on a date to the movies for the first time in awhile. After that, Walter and Travis got Mama a gift each to show their appreciation towards her, “It is the first present in her life without its being Christmas” (Hansberry 123) so it meant a lot to Mama. Walter also came home with a large package. But towards the end of the scene, everyone’s mood switches up to become intensely upsetting. First Linder came over basically telling them to get out and that they are not wanted, although it did not greatly affect them, this is what

During this unit, Pontius Pilate questions Jesus as the final decision-maker in this trial. In verse 11 he asks “Are you the king of the Jews?” in which Jesus replied “You have said so.” Pilate continues the interrogation after the elders and the high priest have concluded their testimonies against Jesus. An element of irony is introduced as Pilate is amazed that Jesus made no rebuttal against such claims.
