Refuse To Back People
377 words
Its sad to see how the town is falling apart
because of these trials. Cows are wandering loose,
crops are rotting in the fields, and orphans are
wandering without supervision. People are either
in jail or attending the trials or are just much
too busy worrying about being accused of
witchcraft to do much else. It seems that the only
reason the Judge is even continuing on the trials
is in fairness to those have already hung. But the
problem with that is I dont think the people who
have already hu...

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...

Works Of Literature Hester Prynne
489 words
Often in exceptional works of literature,
identities, personalities, and surroundings can be
quite similar or distinct with characters in other
works. Two works of literature that display both
aspects are The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel
Hawthorne, and The Crucible, by Arthur Miller.
Abigail Williams and Hester Prynne are two women
with many similarities while they also can be
illuminated with many differences. The two works
of literature have very similar qualities,
including setting, conflict,...

The Crucible And Birthmark Good Evil
339 words
Very often in literature all conflict is, in its
simplest form, is a struggle between good and
evil. In other words, all discord in literature
eventually breaks down to a clashing between good
and evil. This concept of good and evil being the
root of all literature is clearly exhibited in
Millers The Crucible and Hawthorne's The
Birthmark. In The Crucible Miller uses
characterization and conflict to demonstrate that
all conflict in literature is that of good and
evil. Miller characterizes Abigai...

The Crucible And Birthmark Human Failures

John Steinbeck once said that It was the
responsibility of the writer to expose our many
grievous faults and failures and to hold up to the
light our dark and dangerous dreams, for the
purpose of improvement. In other words when an
author writes a story it is there mission to write
it in such a way that it demonstrates mans
pitfalls so that upon reflection of the work the
reader will be able to better himself through the
reading of the story. Arthur Millers The Crucible

Mccarthy Vs Salem Witch Trials
1,530 words
Often times it has been stated that history
repeats itself, I have found an example of a
situation where it did. Lots of people think that
the McCarthy hearings of the 1950 s are a repeat
of history from the Salem witch-hunts of 1692. In
both cases, all of the accusations were false, and
also fictitious. Also in both cases, the main
reason people were blamed was so that ones who
were condemning would receive their own personal
gain. In both parties, McCarthy and the girls,
they accused people to...

John Proctor Bad Person

The Crucible The most interesting character in the
play The Crucible by Arthur Miller is Abigail
Williams. In the play she is a mysterious girl
that believes in witchcraft. She blames others
about witchcraft even though she is the one
believing it. She is the "leader" of the girls,
she tells them what to do and when to do it. For
example when they were in the court room and she
was brought in to testify against Mary Warren the
girls kept repeating what Abigail said and they
did everything she di...

Historical Overview and Brief Analysis Amidst
millenniums of debate, argument, and conflict
concerning racial prejudges and those issues which
surround their implementation, there has
consistently existed a certain historical
prejudice regarding various stereotypical ideas
for those things which people can not understand
or explain logically. While more contemporary

Mccarthy Hearings Witch Trials
379 words
The witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts in the
early sixteen hundreds was a time of uneasiness
and suspicion. Anyone could easily turn in his or
her neighbor on the ground of witchcraft. Someone
could merely say their neighbors spirit had
attacked them during the night, which no man can
prove. Nevertheless, as a God-fearing community,
they could not think of denying the evidence,
because to deny the existence of Evil is to deny
the existence of Goodness, which is God. The most
important scene i...

Trials of Her Sins Hester Prynne, Nathaniel
Hawthorne's character from his novel, The Scarlet
Letter, and Abigail Williams, from The Crucible by
Arthur Miller, have both committed a crime and
they are both hated by their societies. However,
there are also differences between the two
characters. Hester Prynne is the more respectable
Puritan woman of the two because she did not
commit as many sins as Abigail did, she was not as
secretive about it, and her actions only affected
herself and her chil...

John Proctor Play People
377 words
In the play, The Crucible, both scapegoats and
vengeance play prominent roles. Abigail Williams
exhibits both these characteristics. She committed
the greatest of crimes. She destroyed the
reputations of many and killed much of her
surrounding society. Her power lied in the fact
that judges believed her, making all those women
who fell victim to her scapegoats. She is the one
who triggers off a sense of hate in the play. She
tempts John Proctor into lechery, and to escape
punishment for dancing,...

Scarlet Letter Prime Example
631 words
How would you like to live in a time where you
were to be as perfect as possible, with as little
sin as possible? That is the way it was in the
Puritan times. Puritans were supposedly the more
pure and righteous religious group. In the Scarlet
Letter and The Crucible there are many examples to
show how they misrepresent the Puritan times. In
the Scarlet Letter, the use of irony shows how the
author thought of Puritans. Though he did not live
in the Puritan time, he still had an idea that
they we...

Cause and Effects on Todays Rising Gas Prices
Natural gas is not a renewable resource, since
there is a fixed amount of it trapped in the
Earth. However, many people carry the
misconception that there is a very limited amount
of natural gas, and that we may use all of it up.
This isn t true. The gas shortages of the 1970 s
were prompted by the government s lack of faith in
the industry s ability to discover and develop new
reserves, not by lack of gas supply. The
unfortunate impression left by t...

precipitated the murders of many innocent people.
Arthur Miller? s depiction of the Salem witch
trials, The Crucible, deals with a community that
