Warren Court

In The Crucible, Arthur miller writes, “No one was naked! You mistake yourself, uncle.”(Miller 144) In other words it shows that Abigail is lying about the girl who was naked and dancing with them at night in the middle of the woods. She told Paris that there was no girl dancing in the woods because she knows that they will all get in a lot of trouble so she start lying. This relate to my topic because it is about lying, and how the play started by how a lie drag another lie which lead to people

crimes of witchcraft, is easily persuaded by statements made by Abigail, Mary Warren, John Proctor, and others. He states, "The pure in heart need no lawyers" (Miller 212). This fallacy, specifically non-sequitur, is an example of his power as such a corrupt figure in the courtroom. Danforth is certainly not pure at heart since his ideas and claims are based on what others have said and not his personal information. In a court of law, a convicted person is considered innocent until proven guilty. Except

property...and there is none but Putnam with the coin to buy so great a piece” and a witness that seen Putnam thanking his daughter for her service in helping with Jacobs' arrest( Miller 89). This particular scene shows Miller's annoyance of how the court is corrupted in its duty of justice through him having Giles give evidence after evidence, only for Miller to show his frustration through Giles as Danforth sided with Putnam's

characters battled on to maintain their reputation as reputable their acts caused them to affect a various amount of others along the way. However, some characters that I believe really appraised to preserve their reputation were John Proctor, Mary Warren, and Abigail Williams. With that being said, John Proctor is concerned with his reputation as he lies about committing adultery to not appear as a bad person. Therefore, by saving his reputation it causes him to turn into a dishonest person. John

Proctor says to her, "You're coming to the court with me, Mary. You will tell it in the court." (Miller 80). This is to prove that he is not in volved in witchcraft. He does not want his name to even be associated with the thought. He there fore makes Mary testify to the court about her doll and therefore clears the accusation that he was doing what we consider voo-doo. Furthermore, at the end of the play Proctor

Abigail Williams was ultimately the cause of John Proctor's death. She was a sneaky girl who wanted to get rid of John's wife, Elizabeth. The acts that Abigail committed throughout the play all were leading up to John's death, even though that is not what she intended to happen. Abigail is most responsible for the witchcraft in the drive. She is the person you drives all the other girls to cry witchcraft. She lacks a conscience which makes her an untrustworthy person in the town. She goes through

People often tells lies to evade punishment for their wrong doings, however sometimes these lies get out of control and a person must test their weaknesses and courage. This is exactly the situation the characters in The Crucible dealt with. It takes place in the Puritan village of Salem, Massachusetts during the Salem Witch Trials which happened from 1692-1693. The mayhem of the trials began when Abigail Williams and several other girls are caught dancing in the woods with the Barbados slave, Tituba

Everyone goes through a crucible in their lifetimes, such as accepting Christ into their heart and live in paradise or be condemn and go to hell. In Salem a group of girls were suspected of being possessed by the devil and they accused other women causing an uproar of people being prosecuted of things they haven’t done and being sentenced to death. In the past Jews were being prosecuted, and were discriminated because of their religion. The holocaust was the persecution and the murder of over 6 million

In the Salem Witch Trials suspicion was raised by the simplest of actions, especially in court. Miller uses the court as a way to show how people used one another as pieces in a game. In the court scene Mary Warren goes to clear Goody Proctors name, but is tantalized by Abigail threatening Mary with bewitching her. Abigail states, “Oh, Heavenly Father, take away this shadow!”(Miller.)  Abigail only lies

Abigail did indirectly murder people, which is a horrible transgression even when unaccompanied by the fact that she was in a perfect mental condition while she was doing all of this. Abigail should be tried and punished because she was indeed in a normally functioning mental state. Geoffrey Miller points out a few things that could result from a mental disorder stemming from emotional instability “Low emotional stability predicts depression, anxiety, bipolar, borderline, and histrionic disorders”
