I would try to guess the diagnoses of the patients, and I came to care for them as well. I aspire to become a doctor one day, so I found this book exceedingly interesting!

The Millers and Reeve’s tale are a lot like a typical sports rivalry. A real life example of the strife between the two men, is the Prep vs. La Salle tug-of-war.

Just like how the resentment between the Miller and the Reeve is not just some normal disagreement. Although the Miller and the Reeve have contrasting, distinct looks about them, they are not much different. They are both working class men on the same pilgrimage with the same view of each other.

The main point of the essay is to show that there are not many written tragedies in our time, mainly because there is not enough heroes around us. Arthur Miller's thesis statement is, "the tragic mode is archaic, fit only for the very highly place, the kings or the kingly, and where this admission is not made in so many words it is most often implied.” What he is saying is that tragedies are outdated because they are only fit for kings.

"The American Dream is the largely unacknowledged screen in front of which all American writing plays itself out," Arthur Miller has said (Galvin).

The houses of people and families was destroyed. 507 houses were destroyed, in addition to forty-four mobile homes and 30 businesses. The disaster left a trail of bad memories that people in the community will never forget. Some of the bodies were washed 40 miles downstream and some of them were never found.

The Crucible by Arthur Miller is a famous play which was written in the early 1950’s. The Crucible is a play based upon the events in 1692, which led to the ‘Salem Witch Trials’, a series of hearings before local magistrates to prosecute over 150 people accused of witchcraft. This was due to the hysteria caused by a group of girls accusing innocent people of witch craft. The play was set in Salem, Massachusetts between February 1692 and May 1693. Salem was a very isolated and puritanical community, so their biggest fear was the devil and witchcraft. A person being accused of witchcraft was the worst thing possible in this society.

For centuries people have used the power of suggestion to cause mass hysteria. Author Miller poses this theory in his realistic play “The Crucible.” Set in Salem 1962, the play begins when young puritan girls were caught dancing in the woods and got caught by Reverend Parris. The girls become scared that they may be accused of witchcraft so they make false accusations that damage the lives of others. John Proctor is a farmer who gets caught in their web of deceptions by trying to save the lives of others. Through his experience in the courtroom and in prison, and especially under bombardment by the villagers. Author Miller realistically shows how an individual such as johns proctor can be ostracized by the community.

“I believe that the common man is as apt a subject for tragedy in its highest sense as kings were” ( Tragedy and the Common Man). Arthur Miller follows his Millerian conventions of tragedy in the writing of The Crucible. Often literature uses tragedy to display a depressing theme represented by the tragic hero.
