What Does Greed Mean In The Crucible
From literature we learn that people are deceiving and opportunist seeking personal desires and wealth. In The Crucible Betty says “you did, you did! you drank a charm to kill John Proctor’s wife! You drank a charm to kill goody Proctor” (Miller 148). In this quote Miller demonstrates how much a person is willing to endure to reach their goal. Miller also displays the evil embodied amoung us that is willing to destroy anything in its way for desire. He also shows us the truth of how cruel the world and how it changes people for the worst. In the The Devil and Tom Walker” Irvnig lecture the sad truth about how destroying gread is “All her avarice was awakened at the mention of hidden gold, and she urged her husband to comply with the black
man’s term, and secure what would make them wealthy for life…..determined to drive a bargain on her own” (Irving 327). Irving is showing how greed can lead a person to burgan a deal with the devil. The truth behind this quote is that greed leads directly to Hell in this context.
