Arthur Miller’s intense play, The Crucible, used historical figures and events to mimic the witch trials of Salem, and it touched on religious, justice, and the supernatural which stirred up a mixture of hate, lies, and forgiveness. The Crucible took place in 1692 in the theocracy government of Salem, Massachusetts. (LadyElisabeta. Theocracy in the Crucible. 2008) The play begins with Reverend Parris discussing alleged acts of witchcraft performed by his niece, Abigail, and his assumed possessed

Arthur Miller’s The Crucible focuses on the Salem Witch Trials along with the pointing of fingers that went along with it. Miller wrote this to reflect upon what was occurring during the Red Scare in the 1940’s and 1950’s. The Crucible is written in an ironic and cynical tone mocking the Red Scare. During the Red Scare, many were arrested and prosecuted for allegedly being Communists. Miller took these accusations and made a mockery of them in The Crucible. “The Salem tragedy… developed a paradox
just fade away and nobody will find out, but little do they know the truth always comes out. Lying only makes a situation worse, not better and in this play it shows why lies can put you in a serious or dangerous situation. The Crucible written by Arthur Miller relates to the Salem witch trials and is based in a small village that believes there are witches running around the village using witchcraft to turn people against God and sell themselves to the devil. In the beginning Mr.Parris, the father
Crucible Rough Copy The image that was given was about a man covering or protecting the girl, there was three man who looks like a judge or a counselor, and it looks like an accusation or confession. This image is about the play that was written by Arthur Miller, The Crucible. The play was about witchcraft that was observing in the village, and because they were Christians who has strong faith.in God they prohibited witchcraft. They don’t like witchcraft not because this can ruin their religion but
People are very easily scared. It’s a natural human trait right? Well in the late 1600’s, this trait was dramatically demonstrated with the witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts, when the fear of witchcraft came about. “The crucible” was a play written about these events, in which I strongly believe that a character in the play, named Abigail, was the cause of this mass hysteria because she was a great actor, used witchcraft as an excuse to get her way, and was very manipulative. Abigail Williams
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a very interesting story. Gawain is the popular knight of the town and is known to be “perfect”. But the Green Knight comes in to see if Gawain is really as perfect is everyone says he is. So the Green Knight challenges Gawain to a match. Basically saying that Gawain can try to cut his head off but if he does then he will come back in a year and get to try to cut Gawain’s head off. So Gawain of course living up to his name cuts the Green Knights head off. Thinking
The false Prince Sage, the main character of the book, The False Prince, was a “lost” boy who lived in an orphanage for a period of time. No one knew why he was there or how he got there. One day, Sage and three other boys, from different cities, were chosen by Bevin Conner, a nobleman of Carthya. Conner was trying to find a “false prince”, the king’s long lost son, to unite a broken kingdom. Sage was taken because he was a good liar, “So this one’s made his way through theft and lies” (page 5)
Arthur Miller’s The Crucible is based on actual events led to the Salem Witch Trials. These trials were a group of hearings to prosecute those accused of witchcraft. Pride influenced the characters throughout the play. Pride is a sense of one's dignity. Excessive pride is the driving force behind arrogance. Throughout the play pride influences the actions of three main characters. The three characters that have excessive pride are, Hale, Elizabeth Proctor and John Proctor. Hale’s pride
In The Crucible, there were many important quotes that were said. Author Miller had a lot of highlighted scenes that made the play interesting. The play, in my eyes, is based on three important quotes. In the play, I believe it's mainly based around the thought of witchcraft. Firstly, many died because they were accused of committing witchery, or have falsely been seen with “the Devil.” For example, on page 1134, Putnam states “Don't you understand it, sir.
