Arthur Miller? s The Crucible and the scandal
surrounding President Clinton can be compared in
profusion. The old saying of history repeating
itself is certainly proved true in this state of
affairs (no pun intended), proving the
timelessness of The Crucible. Key players utilized
by Miller can be interpreted into many notorious
faces portrayed by the media encircling our
fearless leader. Although all comparisons are not
players at all, but some merely concepts. The most

Elizabeth Proctor Arthur Miller

Human nature feels a sense of acceptance when
conformed to those in its environment. People need
to follow patterns, standards, and a structure of
behavior to feel secure. A pattern to conform to
is a kind of shelter. (Unknown) Whether a strong
faith in religion, failure to decipher the truth,
to follow the majority, or a realization of one s
conformity, Arthur Miller s The Crucible supports
human nature s natural inclination towards
conformity through the plot and characters. During

Power Girls Party

The Girls Power in The Crucible and the Inner
Party s Power in 1984 At face value, the concepts
discussed in Orwell s 1984 are far removed from
those in Miller s play The Crucible. One is a
not-so optimistic view of the future, while the
other demonstrates a rather low point in early
American history. However, upon further
examination, there is evidence that the notion of
delegation of power is somewhat similar between
the two. Compared to that of the girls, the means
by which the crown of power...
