The Crucible Summary Chapter 1-6

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.

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

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.”

The main characters in the scene during this part of the trial is Rachel, Brady, Drummond and Cates. Brady should be played by an old grandfather looking man with a stern and strict demeanor. This is because in this scene he is very interrogative of Rachel and doesn’t break his demeanor even when she is distressed while taking the stand. Drummond should be played by a more middle aged man, short and quiet. I see him as this in the scene because though he is trying to stand up for his client, he keeps being knocked down- either by the judge overruling or Brady counteracting Drummond’s statements. You can tell by the way it describes him slouching that he is feeling defeated in the courtroom. Cates should be played by a young but tired looking man. Young because he is described in the beginning of the book as young, yet he is tired because being berated by the public is going to get to you. Especially because he

2. Ever since the terrorist attacks of 9/11, American sentiment towards Muslims has taken a drastic turn for the worse. Once lauded for its openness and acceptance of people of diverse backgrounds, America initiated a series of harsh security and immigration reforms to ensure another terrorist calamity such as 9/11 would never occur again. As time went on however, the boiling blood began to simmer down and America began to seem once more like a shining beacon of hope to immigrants from all over the world. Just as things seemed to reach

One of the main struggles in The Crucible in the battle of morals in oneself. We can always say that our morals are important to us but when faced with a mob of people who go against those morals that changes quite quickly. The story starts when a group of girls start to dance in the woods the morning after two girls in the village lie unconscious and whispers of unnatural causes. To save their reputation the girls start to accuse people of witchcraft; Abigail Williams decides to seize this opportunity, so she accuses John Proctor’s wife, Elizabeth Proctor, of witchcraft in order to get her out of the picture so John Proctor might love her. Little did Abigail know John Proctor would gladly follow his wife to the ends of the earth and back.

There are multiple definitions for a “crucible”, some include a place or occasion of severe testing or trial, and or a ceramic container in which substances may be purified or melted in extremely high temperatures. The book, The Crucible, personifies these two definitions of a crucible. The title of the book gives a generalized idea of what is going to happen in the book. The Crucible is one of the most renowned books in American history. It gives an insight into what happened during the Salem Witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts in the late 1600s. Although the specific details might be fabricated, the book captured the overall essence of what the Salem Witch trials were all about.

Act III is the climax of the play, with various accusations and pieces of evidence coming to light, both to the characters and to the audience. It begins with the audience listening in to the court proceedings that are occurring off stage; Martha Corey is on trial for witchcraft. Giles Corey is brought on stage for disrupting the court.

Five minutes later, Fayard was surrounded by the sound of gunfire, trying to save the slaves in a wooden house. British soldiers were outnumbering the slaves until a musket ball bounced off a metal box and to a crate of gunpowder. The fire killed most of the British soldiers, but the slaves were still in the building! Fayard ran into the blazing house of fire to free the slaves. “GO!” He said as he broke the shackles with his machete, freeing the seven slaves. The slaves made it out of the house alive but harmed. The burns on the slaves were severe and they needed a doctor fast.Other slaves carried them to Fort Haldane. Fayard opened the entrance to a shock, to see his wife at gunpoint by a British

The lopsided battle raged for over two hours, the Army and Marines, also cleared the housing area. They captured seventy-five of the enemy combatants to include one make believe General, who told them they had no right to hold him as the United States of America no longer existed as far as he was concerned. Finally, out of exasperation at hearing the man rant and rant, Captain Gaston, who was now in Tomakow headquarters, had him tied and gaged then set into a corner so they didn’t have to listen to him anymore.
