Witch Hunt Scarlet Letter
670 words
American literature often examines people and
motives. In Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel, The
Scarlet Letter, and in Aruthur Millers modern
dramatic masterpiece, The Crucible, people and
motives often depict patters of Puritans
struggling for life during a shaky time. Two main
characters from both pieces of works share the
traits of a struggling Puritan as adulators. Even
tough Hester and Abigail have similar traits,
their sins differ dramatically and were punished
differently. Hester Prynne is a w...

Goody Proctor Abigail Williams

Whats the difference between Abigail Williams and
Satin? Very little! Abigail turns life around for
many innocent citizens of Salem. She took away

Crucible. She certainly rejects God and does what
she wants to do regardless of whom it may hurt.

she destroyed the calm community of Salem through
her destructive, sinful acts. Abigail tries to

The Crucible And Inherit Wind Injustice
538 words
Both Cates, in Inherit the Wind by Lee and
Lawrence, and Procter, in The Crucible, by Arthur
Miller, are both subjected to unjust laws. Both
demonstrated that, "if the law is of such a nature
that it requires one to be an agent of injustice
toward another, then I say break the law, " as
stated by Henry David Thoreau. When a law is put
into effect that will convict a person who is a
free thinker then it is a unjust law. One might as
well break it because if no one stands up for the
principle then...

End Of The Scene Goody Proctor

The Crucible is a play written by Arthur Miller,
which is based on the true story of the Salem
witch trails. Miller wanted theatre to heighten
the awareness of what living in our time involves.
Therefore, his play has many links with the modern
world, McCarthyism for instance. Breaking it down
into many smaller scenes, I will analyse Act 1 of
The Crucible. I am doing this to explore the
dramatic effect of character and action. The
Crucible is a powerful drama and is strongly built
to bring out t...

Integrity, a firm adherence to a code of
especially moral or artistic values. Merriam
Webster dictionary. A character with integrity is
willing to sacrifice anything of substantial
value, even their life or reputation, to uphold
the moral code they live by. It takes someone of
strong character to possess integrity, for the
temptation to give in is every so often

Reverend Parris Reverend Hale

Ever since Hollywood begun to make movies,
Hollywood has attempted to movies that are based
on celebrated literature. More often than not, the
directors are so concerned with making the film
entertaining that they stray from what makes those
original literatures themselves popular, the
ability to arouse strong emotions within its
readers. This practice usually turns a masterpiece
into a piece of farce. Fortunately, such mistakes
are not made in the film adaptation of Arthur
Millers play the Cruc...

Mccarthy Era Rebecca Nurse

An idea that I saw circulate throughout the play
entitled The Crucible was acting and lying. There
are also many levels to the acting and lying some
of the levels could be as basic as sleeping while
others people their life. The lying starts with
the little girls sleeping. A quote within the time
is by Rebecca Nurse she says I have seen them all
through their silly reasons, and when it come on
them they will run the Devil bowlegged keeping up
with their mischief. In this quote Rebecca Nurse

End Of The Drama Rebecca Nurse
365 words
In literature as in life people often suffer
severe tests of character. Sometimes they must
defend their beliefs in the face of great
opposition. In the drama The Crucible, by Arthur
Miller, two characters showed this quality. John
Proctor and Rebecca Nurse both suffered severe
tests of character. In my opinion these characters
are perfect examples of these type of people.
Rebecca Nurse is a good example of a character
that got tested. She sacrificed her life for her
morals. When asked by Revere...

John Proctor Innocent People
952 words
The title of Author Miller s play the Crucible
fits the story in many ways. There are many
definitions for a crucible but mainly two of them
fit the story most. The first definition of a
crucible is a melting pot that chemist and
alchemists used to mix metals, but in order to
melt the metals down they had to heat the metals
up to a certain point for them to turn to liquids.
So in fact a crucible is a container that can
withstand high temperatures. In this way the
characters of the play have to w...

vengeance play prominent roles. Abigail Williams

the greatest of crimes. She destroyed the
reputations of many and killed much of her
surrounding society. Her power lied in the fact

Proctor And Abigail Sin Of Adultery
1,595 words
Comparing The Scarlet Letter to The Crucible
Adultery, betrayal, promiscuity, subterfuge, and
intrigue, all of which would make an excellent
coming attraction on the Hollywood scene and
probably a pretty good book. Add narration,
mass-hysteria and witch trials and the end result
would be The Crucible, but if you added Puritan
ideals and writing styles, making it long, drawn
out, tedious, wearisome, sleep inducing, insipidly
asinine, and the end result is The Scarlet Letter.
They are both conside...
