contained upon them as these test occur. In “Sinners in the hands of an Angry God” and “The Crucible”, Edwards and Miller use metaphors, imagery, symbolism, and allegory to display how they unveil their message with fear and persuasion. In “Sinners”, Edwards employs metaphors and imagery to show how God can unleash his fury upon the world.
