obvious given that today‚ psychiatrists base their reasoning’s on “classic formulations” (Miller) such as Oedipus complexes for even the lowliest of common clients. This is due to that fact that although royalty played out these problems‚ they apply to everyone in similar situations.

How does Miller present the character Abigail in Act I? We are first introduced to the ‘strikingly beautiful’ Abigail Williams in Act I of one of Arthur Miller’s most acclaimed works The Crucible.

“Dumb @!$ stuff we need to stop saying to Dads”‚ by Ashley Miller demonstrates how toxic rigid gender roles can become‚ forcing men and women into roles which don’t conform with their wishes and expectations. Miller expresses her frustration with the question “Is Daddy on babysitting duty today?” with the response “Nope‚ he’s not a babysitter. He’s a parent.” Assuming that men only “babysit” their children reduces their responsibility as parents‚ and once again places that responsibility on the shoulders

Arthur Miller the author of The Crucible introduces John Proctor in a very interesting way. The first scene with Proctor and Abigail‚ gave the reader a wrong impression about Proctor and Abigail’s relationship. “Proctor: Abby‚ I may think of you softly from time to time…..We never touched‚ Abby. Abigail: Aye‚ but we did. Proctor: Aye‚ but we did not.” (Miller‚ 23). It seems that Proctor does not want to face the truth that him and Abigail had a very strong relationship. Having this type of scene
