    The Crucible Book 4 Analysis

    Satan’s soliloquy in Book 4 develops his character through self-reflection, elucidating his many complex characteristics and emotions. While Satan is portrayed as a rather humane protagonist thus far, his motives, beliefs, and fears are not explained and thus, only allowed for a one-dimensional interpretation. During Satan’s soliloquy in Book 4, however, he finally reflects upon himself, revealing his motives, fears, and doubts and thus, enriching his character.…

    The Crucible-Theme- 5-Paragraph

    “Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” ( Dr. Seuss) “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.” (Psalm 23:4) “God has given you one face, and you make yourself another.” (William Shakespeare) These quotes, found throughout many different time periods of history, all say the same: “Be who you are and don’t let anything change that.” These are great words to live by, but, in time of weakness, does one stay true? Can even the good be twisted? This is a theme that is represented throughout The Crucible many times. Characters such as Elizabeth Proctor, John Proctor, and Reverend Hale had good intentions or morals in the beginning but were soon marred by protecting a lover, temptation, or the questioning of all that one stood on.…

    Changes In The Crucible

    Joseph Smith Jr. once said “Although I do wrong, I do not the wrongs that I am charged with doing; the wrong that I do is through the frailty of human nature, like other men, no man lives without fault.” John Proctor and The Crucible are great examples of what Joseph Smith Jr. said. “I do not wrongs that I am charged with doing… No man lives without faults,” these words are the essence of The Crucible. He has done wrong, just like all the others. They are not being charged with what they’ve done wrong though. They’re being charged with witchcraft. Though, Proctor can be arrogant, and tempered at times he tries his best to do what’s right. In The Crucible, John Proctor has done his share of wrongs, but throughout the play he makes an attempt…
