  • Salem Witch Trials World War Ii
    1,901 words
    In The Crucible, written by Arthur Miller, the madness of the Salem witch trials is explored in great detail. There is more to the play than the witch trials, though. The Crucible was composed during a time when a similar hysteria was sweeping through America. A virtually unkown senator by the name of Joseph McCarthy was propelled into infamy when while at a speaking engagement at thee Republican Womens Club of Wheeling, West Virginia he charged 205 persons in the U. S. State Department of being...

  • Accused Of Witchcraft Rebecca Nurse
    532 words
    A "hideous screech and noise" poured from the open windows of the meetinghouse. Inside, the young accusers who said they had been bewitched by their neighbors twisted their bodies and cried in pain. Frail and weak, Rebecca Nurse, the most unlikely to be in league with the devil, stood to be questioned. From the moment on that cold January day when the specter of a coffin appeared during a childish game, Salem Village convulsed with fear, finger pointing and suspicion, and the normal hierarchy of...

    It's the spring of 1692. The whole village of Salem is in an uproar. The Reverend Samuel Parris' daughter Betty won't wake up, and the Putnam's' little Ruth is walking around like a zombie. The night before, Reverend Parris had heard a funny noise in the woods outside his house, and stumbled onto a frightening scene: his black slave Tituba was waving her arms over a boiling kettle, muttering wild-sounding gibberish, and around the fire a dozen girls were dancing- dancing, strictly forbidden by P...

  • Abused Their Power Goody Putnam Revenge
    419 words
    In the Play The Crucible nothing was the way it seemed. Ironically the characters who were known as Puritans, religiously good people, do not fit that description. Many Puritans were out for revenge on enemies, abused their power and committed perjury. The Crucible was upsetting and Goody Putnam acted crazy by thinking some supernatural power killed her babies. The fact that the judges believed her accusation is even worse. It seemed easy to prove an innocent person guilty throughout that period...

    Why do you hurt these children? I do not hurt them. I scorn it. Have you made no contract with the devil? No! Mr. John Hawthorn, a Judge involved in the witchcraft case of Sarah Good, then asked all of the afflicted children to look upon her and see if this was the person that had hurt them so. They all gazed at Goody Good and said that this was the person that tormented them presently they were all tormented. Puritanical beliefs had all of Salem truly believing that witches rode on broomsticks ...

  • Affair With Abigail People Of Salem
    1,684 words
    Conscience is the awareness of right and wrong. In the Crucible, the idea of conscience in strongly emphasized. Miller himself said, "No critic seemed to sense what I was after [which was] the conflict between a mans raw deeds and his conception of himself; the question of whether conscience is in fact an organic part of the human being, and what happens when it is handed over not merely to the state or the mores of the time but to ones friend or wife. " The idea of conscience in the play The Cr...

  • Salem Witch Trials Witch Hunt
    1,371 words
    In his article, Why I Wrote The Crucible, Arthur Miller speaks of the 1950 s which nobody seems to remember clearly- a time of fearful insanity and unrest. Anyone could be accused. Showing excessive opposition ensured prosecution. Most shrunk back from disputing the McCarthy hearings for fear of their safety. Now, this period of panic is viewed as absurd. As Miller describes Hitler as being almost comical to his generation, the modern generation sees the Salem witch trials as foolish scuffles be...

John laughs off this moment of tension by saying, Aye. [Trying to grin it away to Hale] You see, sir, between the two of us we do know then all. While they are talking, suddenly Francis Nurse and Giles Corey enter, they relay to them the latest course of events. Hale then says, if Rebecca Nurse be tainted, then nothings left to ...

    The Salem Witch Trials all began on January 20, 1692, with nine-year-old Elizabeth Betty Parris and eleven-year-old Abigail Williams, daughter and niece of the village reverend Samuel Parris, beginning to exhibit strange behavior, such as blasphemous screaming, convulsive seizures, trance-like states and mysterious spells. Within a short period of time, several other Salem girls began to illustrate similar behavior; physicians resolved that the girls were under the control of Satan. Reverend Par...

    ... n trance we are told that Abigail has stood as though on tiptoe, absorbing his presence, wide-eyed. Something to back up the possibility that there have been a romance here is how his actions change when they are alone. When Mary Warren is in the room he is strong and influential. Ill show a great doin on your arse one of these days. This is in contrast to when Warren leaves the stage and it is only occupied by Abigail and John. It is now when he shows a change in his character. Abigail seem...

    730 words
    Hysteria in a Godly Town The term, innocent until proven guilty is synonymous with the justice system. The saying also applies to people while among their peers. In the sleepy little town of Salem, Massachusetts, however, it turns out to be quite the opposite. When lies and rumors run rampant through their community, the townspeople destroy each other s lives. Why does this happen? Simply because the beliefs of a society are led astray. In Salem, people forget about morals and respect for life, ...

    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 is t...

  • 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...

    2,089 words
    McCarthyism: The Real Witch Hunts Some people nowadays may consider the government, or some of its agencies, corrupt. Todays scenario is nothing compared to that of McCarthyism in the 1950 s. During McCarthyism, the nation was being torn apart. Their loyalty to one another was crushed and common human decency went down the drain (Miller, Crucible xiv). These Communist hunts were eerily similar to the witch hunts and trials of Salem Massachusetts in the 1600 s. The Puritans have a strict religion...

  • Salem Witch Trials Giles Corey
    828 words
    Moral Courage In 1952, The Crucible, by Arthur Miller was written. This play is viewed by many as a condemnation of McCarthyism, now seen as a modern-day witch hunt, or the prosecution of people accused without proper cause, who are forced to conform to society to avoid public denunciation. The Crucible is based on one of the strangest and most dreadful events in American history, the Salem witch trials of 1692. During this time many innocent people were put to death. Throughout this play, there...

    The play, ? The Crucible? , illustrates how people react to mass hysteria created by a person or group of people, as people did during the McCarthy hearings of the 1950 s and the Salem witch hunts of 1962. Many Americans were wrongly accused of being Communist sympathizers. The activities of the House of Un-American Activities Committee began to be linked with the witchcraft trials that had taken place in the town of Salem. This provided Miller with the catalyst to write? The Crucible? . Without...
