    The Crucible: Study Questions

    1. There are many factors that contribute to the initiation and the escalation of the witch hunts in Salem. Partisans truly believed in the existence of witches, as it was recognize as a sin against God in the bible. This caused their society to accredit any unnatural happenings to the Devil. When Ruth and Betty cannot wake, Ann Putnam blames her daughters unconscious state and the deaths of her unbaptized babies on witchery. Witchcraft in Salem is only a rumor until Reverend Hale comes to cleanse the town of evil. Soon after Paris tells Hale of his discovery of the girls dancing in the forest, Abby cries witch on Tituba to avoid being prosecution herself. This marks the beginning of the witch…

    The Crucible Chapter 11 Analysis

    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…

    The Crucible: Similarity To Today's Society

    America is praised to be a place that is fair and just. However, no country is perfect and one of the more unfavorable aspects of America is a problem that has been a problem that goes back to the 1600s. The issue Americans face are within the legal systems and are caused by the biases of judges and jurors across American courts. America is not alone in this problem, but for a first world country this issue is more common than it should be. In America’s modern day society there are many cases of discrimination based on physical appearances in court, as there were in Arthur Miller’s play The Crucible, which needs to be stopped, because it is in violation of Civil Rights Act of 1964.…

    The Crucible Dbq

    In this story, the quote “ normally the actions and deeds of a man were all that society felt comfortable judging” was included in Reverend Hale’s introduction. This quote is important and significant because it lays the foundation of what the puritans really thought during this time. This quote could be saying different things, one being that during the time of the witch trials no one wanted to judge or get on a womans bad side for they may feel they will be harmed by a woman who has been falsely accused of being a “witch”. Therefore they only feel comfortable with judging the men instead of the women of Salem. Reason two being that maybe they only questioned the external reason behind the men's actions because they were more important than…

    Crucible Questions

    1. The tragic hero in the Crucible would be John Proctor since he was able to stand for who we was. He stood for an honorable cause, even though he had some minor flaws – not forgiving himself and his affair with Abigail. Proctor was able to lead the book with his heroic characteristics and traits by standing up to what he believed in and choosing the righteous decisions in the appropriate situations. Through the many downfalls Proctor faced, he was able to regain himself by trying the resolute his own problems. An example would be through the committing of adultery with Abigail and how he attempted to still show respect and affection to his wife by protecting her from being thrown in jail. On page 76, Proctor said “My wife will not die for me! I will bring your guts to your mouth but that goodness will not die for me!” He is expressing to the audience that there is a presence of humanity and righteousness in himself and nothing will ever amend his ways of living his life. When he knew about the devious scandals behind the witchcraft accusations, he strived to release all the innocent people. In addition, he refused to die as a martyr because he knew that he wasn’t a perfect model for others to follow – even though Judge Danforth insisted (page 132).…

    Trials In The Crucible

    The Crucible Opinion Paper

    When you think of children, what was the first thing that comes to mind? Reckless? Young? Naïve? Gullible? Into the Wild, by Jon Krakauer, is a book written about an extraordinary but childlike man who set out on a quest, looking for an adventure of being surrounded by nature. Chris McCandless, who the book is based off of, was a man of wonder. No one was ever certain about what he thought, how he felt, or why he went on this suicide journey. Was it because of his childlike recklessness? Or was it something deeper? Chris McCandless was reckless and along with that came passion, loneliness, and despair. So, can we really judge him when he made the decision to live in the most wild parts of the Alaskan state?…
