How Is Giles Corey Similar

“Aye, and well instructed in arithmetic.” This sarcastic quote is from Giles Corey when he was talking to Reverend Parris about his earnings per year in the story The Crucible. Giles Corey was an 83 year old man. He was married to Martha Corey who was accused of witchcraft and was his third wife. When she got accused he tried to help and was later held in contempt of court, accused of witchcraft and pressed to death. Giles Corey and I are very similar because we are both sarcastic, instigators and we are both loyal. Both Giles and I share the trait of sarcasm. Giles Corey was very sarcastic throughout the play. He was very sarcastic when he made jokes to Parris about him being “very good at arithmetic” because parris could add sixty plus six.
