In the beginning of the scene, the town is preparing for Reverend Brown’s sermon with eager anticipation. The religious fervour that Brady has been carefully nurturing and cultivating in the people of Hillsboro was to make a dramatic plateau at this sermon.

    In chapter 11 page 202 Miller explains how people rarely talk about their actual jobs or job duties when they are asked about work. They talk about how they feel when they are at work and how they feel about the people they work with. Many will also explain the culture of the place they work. People’s emotional connection with the place they work has everything to do with how they approach their job and how they deal with those duties. So in a sense I would consider everyone’s job consisting of ‘emotional labor’. Now how bearable the emotional labor is will have to do with the individual. For example, if a co-worker comes to work in a foul mood I try my best to make the work day less stressful for them so that their bad mood doesn’t get…

    In the late 1700s, the case of Silas Deane’s death was as good as solved and put to rest. His depression weakened his body enough, to lead him to illness and an inevitable death. Despite the lack of evidence that led to this conclusion, people were at ease with it so there were no reasons to further officially investigate his case. There were, of course, speculations from the skeptics of the age. Perhaps his death were self-inflicted or it were sabotage? The rumors, however, died down over time along with the memory of the unfortunate Silas Deane. Maybe, one can’t help but think, if those same doubtful individuals reopened his case and looked into the facts, along with his life at the time, they would discover that the conclusion in the papers doesn’t add up quite right.…
