    Feeling sorry for someone, but not agreeing with them. As humans we have all felt this feeling at least once in our lifetime. In the book The Awakening, by “Kate Chopin” Kate Chopin sympathizes with the main character Edna but doesn’t pity her. I agree with Kate, because even though she’s married with Leonce a man that she doesn't love and has children with him, she is still free not attached to him at all. Another reason I agree with Kate is that she doesn’t pity Edna. She spends time and loves Robert rather than loving her own husband.…

Lorraine Hansberry, the praised playwright behind A Raisin in the Sun and The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window, has experienced both the good and bad aspects of humanity and expresses it through her work. Although the majority of the characters and plot of A Raisin in the Sun suggest that humanity is repetitive, Hansberry uses some of her other characters,…

    Giles Corey's Confession

    Throughout the play one of the central themes continues to be John Proctor's, Giles Corey's, and Rebecca Nurse's refusal to degrade their souls with lies of confession only to save themselves from the unjust accusations of witchcraft. In this time and era the people living in and around Salem, Massachusetts were from Puritan faith and lived very strict lives. At this point in history there was still no separation between church and state, so the church had a major role in each individual's life. When Reverend Parris came upon the children of Salem dancing and conducting against their religion, they were accused of being in a pact with the devil by many of the town's people in the beginning. Rumors spread, and innocent people were charged of witchcraft. Some of the accused were, in every aspect, a perfect Puritan. Rebecca Nurse was one of these individuals. She was held in high opinion by almost everyone, except for Ann Putnam, who blamed her for the unexplained deaths of her seven children Rebecca had delivered. Ann Putnam claimed that Rebecca sent her "spirit" out on them. At one point there was even a testament signed and proposed in court declaring many people's good opinion of Goody…

    Summary Of Robert Calef's More Wonders Of The Invisible World?

    In addition, Sarah Good, a social pariah in the small village of Salem, well-known for her eccentric behavior, was also accused of being a witch on the claims from neighbors that the family had stayed with during hard times, that when the Goods’ had left, their livestock would sicken to the point of death. They chalked this up to Good bewitching their livestock, but these weren’t the only claims brought against her. A number of families also claimed that she could make objects disappear into thin air. When questioned on this topic, Good came across as tight-lipped and aggressive in her answers to the villagers and her fellow Puritans, further imbedding the already present belief that Good herself was a witch and resulted in her arrest, alongside…
