The Crucible Chapter 2 Summary

The Crucible starts off with Paris at Betty’s side. Betty is sick in bed, she won't eat, move, or respond, and she fell sick after Paris found them dancing in the woods. There have been rumors going around town saying that there is witchcraft in the town and that young girls have been “witched”. They've also said that the girls can fly and that the devil has stolen there soul.

A theme in The Crucible is that a society ruled by theocracy and status based on religion is bound to fall apart. Salem 's strict adherence to the Christian shurch is evident in everything the citizens do. They use measures of a person 's knowledge and adherence to the religion as a means of judging their character and also their status in society. They believe "God [was] provoked so grandly by such a petty cause" (121), which is why the "jails are packed" (121). If the citizen did anything to make God angry, they were punished. This is why the judges were so relentless and naïve in putting the accused women to trial and convicting them. They believed "the law, based upon the Bible, and the Bible, writ by the Almighty God,

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

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

I was woken by the beautiful sounds of nature. I look around wondering where I am. Nothing is familiar to me except for the circle of stones. The last things I can remember are hiking through the woods, and running into the circle full of stones. I was curious and walked into the circle while touching the biggest rock. I felt a huge burst of power tear through me. I saw an explosion of light before I blacked out. I now noticed two girls walking up to me. They looked me over head to toe and got this nervous look on their face. I kindly asked them, “Can you please tell me where I am?” The girls responded, “Salem, Massachusetts.” I start to panic and wonder to myself, “how did I get here, why am I here, and what is the date?” I question the girls,

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.

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

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

During his trial, the Yankee makes a false claim that the man he assaulted struck him first, and that he was only trying to defend himself. When he returned to his quarters, he found his master's body dead on the floor. He soon found out that the king had escaped, and so his master began beating the other slaves and they revolted against him. All the slaves were sentenced to death, and in an effort to save himself and the king, the Yankee contacted Clarence. Clarence then sent a rescue team to London.

1. “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.” (James 1:5-6, ESV) James calls upon the people of God to pray for wisdom. But not to just pray for wisdom, but to do so in faith. James calls the unfaithful man “double-minded” as he is still has not fully trusted in Christ. James also condemns the Jews for praying only for their passions. The world James is fighting against is that of superiority-complexes and careless living. “Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise.” (James 5:13, ESV) Christ is the solution to the problem. It is our duty to ask him in time of need and praise him in times of joy.
