The Crucible Book 2 Analysis

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.

The school day finished without a further peep from Gideon, to Judy’s surprise. She bid Angie a good-bye as the ocelot was picked up by her parents. Judy smiled, as her best friend climbed into the back seat, waving to her all the way to the end of the lot. Judy was about to make her way to the car until a large paw grabbed her mouth and made is so she couldn’t scream, another went around her waist picking her up. She was thrown again a metal pole, what she presumed to be the tetherball pole that was for gym class.

Miller made the right decision in removing Act 2 Scene 2 as it would have distracted the reader from the larger purpose of power and hysteria in the play and have instead introduced a new conflict of genuine insanity. In the deleted scene, a different side of Abigail is shown, one that is delusional and seems to care for Proctor. In a wishfully disturbing manner, Abigail promises to Proctor that, “I will make you such a wife when the world is white again… From yourself I will save you”, and repeatedly states her belief that her purpose was to “scrub the world clean” of all the hypocrites and eventually be rewarded with Proctor as a husband. This caring and desperate side of Abigail contradicts the selfish and manipulative persona that is seen

In the Drama “The Crucibles” by Arthur Miller, creates an intensifying and motivating situation that keeps readers on their toes eager to find out what happens next. Miller gives a dramatical attitude and emotion in the situation that is scattering in Salem. Miller emphasizes the plot/situation in the text through a few specific characters, their conflicts, and transition of the plot in every act. Miller describes the plot through 3 main characters; John Proctor, Elizabeth Proctor, and Abigail Williams. I liked how throughout the play miller focused on the conflict in between the 3 characters which impacted the overall plot of the play,

Arthur Miller’s diction and allusions in The Crucible displays the character’s opposition to Puritan ideology. Although Puritanism is a strict religion, many of the characters in the play do not follow its ideology to the full extent. Within 10 pages of the play, the audience is introduced to an offense that has occurred. Parris, the greedy reverend in Salem, says he discovered his niece, Abigail and daughter, Betty “dancing like heathen in the forest” (Miller 10). For Puritans, any fun activities, such as dancing, are wrong because it serves the Devil. Miller’s use of “heathen” further connects dancing as an immoral act because of heathen’s definition. Since heathen means a person who does not serve the Christian god, using heathen as a comparison

In chapter 38, Viola reads a letter to Todd written by his mother before she died. Even though Todd’s mom was already dead, I think Viola gave his mom a voice again by reading the letter. As Todd listened, he said he felt as if his whole world transformed into one made up of his mother. This letter taught both Todd and Viola a lot about each other as well as the history of New World (the planet they live on). Back when Todd’s mother was still alive, she wrote about disagreeing with Aaron’s ideas and preaches, implying that he was an extremist from the beginning and that he might have been trying to take power over New World. She wrote, “We’ve been lucky to have him, tho I must admit of late he’s not been saying things I exactly agree with

“Logan, Krisha,” It’s my dad over the house intercom, “would you girls mind opening the bakery and running it for like an hour? I have something I need to do.”

When Logan walked out she saw the familiar face of her best friend. Connor’s shaggy brown hair was drooping over his eyes. He was in serious need of a haircut but Connor hated the idea because his wheat-like mane covered his peculiarly shaped ears. The tips of his ears were perfectly pointy. That wasn't the only thing odd about his appearance. Connor had humongous brown eyes that almost seemed too big for his face. He, also, was extremely tall for his age, almost two heads over everyone else. This made him look extremely lanky. When Connor looked up from his shoes some relief washed over Logan but also some shame,

Mary tries to convince Abigail to tell the town what happened that night, but Abby refuses and even threatens the girls that she’ll give them a “pointy reckoning.”

Watching the football game made Jim anxious, and this was not good for his blood pressure.

The play The Crucible, written by Arthur Miller is a play that takes place in 1962. During this time, the tragically famous witch trials were taking place. This story starts with a very tight knit Puritan community that falls apart when witches and witchcraft begin to “take place”.

My time travel experience to the 1600’s started in Paul Green Theatre as I sat down to watch The Crucible. I was joined by Reverend Samuel Parris, Betty Parris, and audience members taking up all four corners of the Parris’ upper bedroom in 15th century Salem on the center stage during Act 1. The Parris’ house filled up quickly as we saw Betty Parris bed-ridden and dealing with an illness deemed as the devil’s work by members of the Salem community. The hysteria of witchcraft spread immediately throughout the auditorium as I had my eyes glued to Betty and the huge cross on the head of her bed. I kept thinking to myself that I could have easily have been another member of Salem Village accused of being an associate of the devil. This production set forth burgeoning fear of my own faults and how important maintaining reputation and integrity is in the face of mass hysteria.

Throughout American history, no matter what time period, humans have been categorized, discriminated against, and treated according to their class, financial status, and race. Many concrete and obvious examples of this have appeared throughout the years, ranging from the Salem witch trials in the late 1600’s, all the way to the recent civil rights movements in the 1950’s and 60’s. Social history uses personal stories to show how class/status and race played a part in the way people were treated in America.
