The Crucible Connection
The worst words to hear when friends are fighting are “who said it” or “name names”. I was in a problematic situation a couple of weeks ago and I was asked that question and instead of naming names I lied and took the blame. The whole fight started because when I was hanging out with my two friends while waiting for my other two friends to come and meet us. My one friend said that one of the girls had a “big mouth and that you couldn’t trust her with any personal details”. When she found out she went on this long rant about how we were all fake and that we were terrible friends but that wasn’t the case she did not know all the details. She came and tried to ask me who had said it and why they said it; at this point none of us were talking to each other but we were all supposed to be best friends. So I told her that it was me because I thought it would stop all the fighting if someone finally admitted to it. I was wrong the fighting got worse and once the two guys found out that I took the blame for one of them they started talking to me but the other two girls refused to talk to me. A couple of days went by and finally the person who had actually said it felt bad for me and told the truth. Eventually everybody came around and we were all cool again but even now it is almost awkward when we are all together. I think these are the worst kind of fights that friends can

    One allusion Miller used is New Jerusalem, meaning the holy city of heaven in the Bible. I believe Miller used this allusion in order to show us how his characters viewed their land in America. They believed that they were the ones who were selected by God to find this New Jerusalem. But I also think Miller had intentions to make this allusion ironic because when they Puritans came to America to pursue religious freedom because they were persecuted for their beliefs in England. However, they also persecuted others for having different religious views because they thought that other religions would corrupt and bring deceitful ideas to their New Jerusalem. I also believe Miller used this allusion to show the vengeance of the Puritans, since they felt the need to persecute because they themselves were persecuted (Miller 1237).…

    The Crucible Rewrite

    In the rewrite, I was responsible for Elizabeth’s character. My partner, John, and chose to create the scene where Abigail is fired from her position as subservient because we both felt there was a lot of room for interpretation. I chose Elizabeth because it seemed like there was a lot that she was holding back throughout the two acts that I felt like I could express for her. “It is as though she would speak but cannot” (166), Elizabeth holds her tongue far more than she should given her situation. This is just one of the many examples that show why I wished to express Elizabeth more than she ever would herself. “quietly, fearing to anger him by prodding” (166) Elizabeth stops herself from angering John by pushing any further. Elizabeth is the kind of person who is so warm-hearted that they can hurt themselves by being as they are. She should’ve pushed John to go to Salem and diverge his information immediately for it would help her in the long run. “hurt and very coldly… she starts to walk out” (167) Again instead of jumping into an argument, Elizabeth avoids any confrontation with John. This irks me because she should be expressing her feelings instead of keeping them to herself, something that doesn’t help anyone.…

    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…

    Throughout the Crucible, there were many brave men and women who sacrificed their lives for a greater cause. When being accused of witchcraft, many of them denied these accusations because they were not true causing them to be put to death. They all tried to bring light to the fact that they were innocent, with no avail. Therefore, it is admirable to sacrifice oneself and spare the innocent, rather than sacrifice others in order to save yourself.…

    In Arthur Miller's, The Crucible, not much was received, except for the revenge of a heart broken girl. I didn't find this play intriguing like most plays I have read before. If you want to watch a girl throw a tantrum over a guy and get rid of her rivals, then I recommend watching Mean Girls or befriend a high school queen bee, instead of reading The Crucible. Not much is offered to you other than blame and the act of revenge, which was lacked as well. In fact, the witch hysteria played a minor role and very little action were taking place.…

    In 1692 nineteen men and women and two dogs were convicted and hanged for witchcraft in a small village in eastern Massachusetts. By the standards of our own time, if not of that, it was a minor event, a spasm of judicial violence that was concluded within a matter of months. The bodies were buried in shallow graves or not at all, as a further indication that the convicted had not only forfeited participation in the community of man in this life, but in the community of saints in the next. Just how shallow those graves were, however, is evident from the fact that the people buried there were not eradicated from history: their names remain with us to this day, not least because of Arthur Miller, for whom past events and present realities have always been pressed together by a moral logic. In his hands the ghosts of those who died have proved real enough even if the witches they were presumed to be were little more than fantasies conjured by a mixture of fear, ambition, frustration, jealousy, and perverted pride.…

    All individuals unmistakably experience a sense of belonging in a multifaceted and convoluted process. Arthur Miller's play “The Crucible” and George Clooney's film “Good Night and Good Luck” are both texts where acceptance into society is explored in characters through various and complex measures. While the play and film both illustrate the complexities of assimilation into society to an individual's identity the Crucible further presents this as an ironic situation as people are pressured into conforming to societal desires, where choosing to detach from community values leads to a detrimental fate.…

    Another reason why some friendships cannot be saved is misunderstandings. Sometimes a little mistake or a little misunderstanding can lead to huge arguments and conflicts. In some cases, friends avoid discussing their problems which is even worse.

    Though many people fear someone more superior than them, fear is just the devil's way of devouring negative emotion and manipulating them back to frighten the weak. Mary Warren displays these actions when Abby frightens her into not mentioning the truth of what really took place in the courtroom, and becomes intimidated with terror. When Mary is arguing with John on whether to tell the truth Mary's fear starts to take over "in terror: I cannot, they'll turn on me"(Miller,Arthur 80). Marry Warren is Battling with herself as well as John to either go to the court and tell the truth or let Abby be her puppet master and back off and keep quite and not get on Abby's watch list. Fed up with everything Marry still has no courage to confess and tries to escape "struggling to escape him: I cannot do it, I cannot(80)!
