The crucible essay
The various causes of irony presented in the crucible revels that those who are in power create the truth in Salem and those who are powerless lived in fear. The young girls of Salem had the most power to whom was being put to death over actuations of doing witchcraft. Abigail Williams would end up taking 19 people live off of actuations, more importantly all of these innocent people was killed without any evidence that they was doing anything of any short
In the crucible Danforth is a figure of justice, however he is very judgmental although when you’re a judge you see everyone as innocent until proven guilty, moreover without any evidence your no to have your mind made up about whom you’re prosecuting. Danforth dose not “Fences: ninety-one your Excellency, Danforth: then I am they may have nothing to fear” (pg. 1297). With this exert from the ply do you think that judge Danforth is living up to his requirements to be to be the best judge he can be? I feel that without any real evidence how can you not want to know why you sending these people to death? As one of the most important people of Salem you would think that he would look actually see if whom was being blamed for practicing witchcraft you should want to look deeper to know if they are practicing it . In the crucible Abigail and the young girls was look to as the authority. They would basically blame anyone if they need to , however Abigail did not intend for all of the people she blamed to be killed. Anyone who was in her way would be killed as will “he comes to me at night he make me sign his book”. Abigail was a master mind she had most of the young girls in Salem to back he every word up she would also make people believe what she was saying with an act In conclusion I believe that it is very ironic that Danforth was not a a good judge and that young girls of Salem shouldn’t be able who is sent to death or who lives, although I

    During this time, the city was governed by the church and a massive witch hunt took where people were condemned for being pawns of the Devil. Officials in Salem authorized many of the witch trials and sent dozens of accused witches to die. Deputy Governor Danforth was one of them. He showed no signs of backing down from his cause. “[D]o you know that near to four hundred are in jails . . . upon my signature? . . . And seventy-two condemned to hang by that signature” (Miller, 91)? This was not because he was evil, but because he believed he was righteous. His intentions were good because he truly believed he was saving Salem, but his actions, as seen today, were evil. Another authority figure who believes they are doing good and perpetuates the Salem Witch Trials is Judge Hathorne. “Why at every execution I have seen naught but high satisfaction in the town” (Miller, 133). Hathorne, like Danforth, believes he is on a Holy Crusade that will move Salem out of the Devil’s hands, and into God’s grace. These authority figures in The Crucible illustrate how values change over time. The society they lived in had different values than society does today. Because of this, they acted accordingly with their ideas of good and evil and cannot be judged by people…

    In the book “The Crucible”, by Arthur Miller, Deputy Danforth is more to blame for the trials continuation than Abigail Williams because he always believed whoever had been accused a witch, refused any evidence showing that the accused were innocent, and was more concerned with the court’s image than justice being served.…

    Proctor, we know is not the greatest puritan , and Cheer in the courtroom mentions this up. Cheever tells Danforth, “He plow on Sunday sir” Proctor misses church to plow, which obviously is a sin to miss church, and just for plowing. This is one of many other sins Proctors sins. Proctor has no justice, not getting what he deserves isn't fair to others. Cheever also says, “ Excellency, does it not strike upon you that so many of these women have lived so long with such upright reputation.” Danforth is guilty and not realizing that the girls have been faking it this whole time. He is not getting his justice he deserves for the innocent lives.…

    Danforth is concerned whether Proctor has told anyone else about the girls’ lies because he is concerned for his position. Miller shows Danforth's panic when Danforth says, “Tell me, Mr. Proctor, have you given out this story in the village?” (88). Instead of showing immediate concern for the people who may have been falsely accused, he looks out for himself and requests to know of how many people know about the girls’ lies. Dansforth views these allegations as a threat to his position because it may remove him from his position of power. If the people of Salem realize that Danforth's judgement is wrong and he allowed himself to be lied to, he would lose popularity among the people of Salem. This also makes him responsible for hanging and jailing…

    In the play, Danforth had already made the decision that 12 people were witches that did not admit it and they were killed. Later on Danforth saw and knew it wasn’t a good idea to be killing all those people for being witches when they were not. He was afraid to admit that he was wrong…

    As he, among others, believed “the bewitched” and convicted many individuals in a strikingly similar yet different manner that they did. However, Danforth is not a fabulist, he may be portrayed in The crucible as a wicked or cruel man but he is a daresay a honest one who believed that he was acting as if he was guided by God. He brought all of the people who declared the good charachter of Martha, Elizabeth, and Rebecca before the church even after Francis had promised that no harm would come to the people associated with the declaration. Yet, Danforth did listen to the evidence that Proctor presented in court, the evidence being that Abigail and the rest were fabricating the whole situation about being possessed. Proctor openly admits about his infedility to the court, back then since it was a puritan village; this would’ve been considered a crime and critically damaged Proctor’s reputation. But, Danforth realizes that this might become a problem and wonders if its a lie to save goody Proctor, he then calls her into the room and tries to debunk the underlying matter.Danforth questioned her” Did your husband commit the act of lechery? Goody Proctor responded with a definitive but quiet ” no”; Since, Goody Proctor did not confess to save her husband’s reputation, she along…

    A few imperative traits that describe a responsible and mature judge are devotion, integrity, and accuracy. Some say that Danforth is a seemingly intelligent and experienced judge, but does he contain the traits that are desired in every judge? Others may believe that his pride leads him to making irrational decisions in “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller. Danforth likes to think of himself as a fair-minded man, which is not clearly represented throughout the play. He is unwilling to believe the truth and has no integrity.…

    In addition, Danforth did not allow people to have their own opinions about the court of Salem. He suppressed the individual freedom of a person to have their own attitude about the court and express that opinion. Danforth believed that “a person is either with this court or he must be counted against it, there is no road in between” (Miller 94). He did not anyone to go against his opinion and if they did, he saw it as a rebellion against the court. As a result of this, he even went on to say that “if retaliation is your fear, know this- I should hang ten thousand that dared to rise against the law” (Miller 129). He was not afraid to make his opinion known and to threaten the people of Salem. Danforth did not want to be proven wrong by anyone.…

    While the Salem witch trials are occurring, the girls talk complete blasphemy about invisible doings. Judge Danforth throws all reason out of the window and believes these girls over anyone else. “Horrified: Mary Warren! Draw your spirit back out of them!” Danforth was swayed more about young girls screaming of an invisible bird in the room that no one in the room saw over a petition that proves the wives of the men were indeed innocent. These girls framed everyone in town on account of witchcraft. Judge Danforth shows a bias towards witchcraft since this is the puritan era. The puritans consist of religious extremists and witches were seen as the help of the devil. Danforth then, without hesitation proceeds to believe the girl’s accusations and goes through with hanging half of the town. Danforth is unfair on account of his extremist ways. An effective judge would not show bias to religious affairs and would need hard, cold facts; Not any superstition or “invisible bird spreading its wings on the rafters.” Danforth is also going through with these hangings and trials because the success rate will be extremely high. The bias qualities of the puritan society to punish every evil overpowers the law. Danforth will have a great reputation for being the man who saved Salem from witchcraft. He is backed up religiously as well, so his career will be full of success and to him that is more important than the fate of an accused human in…

    Danforth’s stubborn demeanor controls most of his accusations and influences his decisions. He truly believes that the only way to prove there is witchcraft is if the victim accuses the assailant. However, there is a serious flaw in this method. Anyone can make an accusation and no one will be the wiser as to if they are lying. When Proctor comes into the court to give evidence of the girls lies, he accuses Danforth of not using evidence. Danforth tells Proctor if people are accused of being witches then it’s “Ipso facto” and they are guilty (103). Francis Nurse then gives a petition to Danforth. Instead of looking at it as evidence he tells Hathorne to “arrest for examination” the 91 names on the petition (97). Danforth cannot think of the girls as a lie because his behavior prevents him.…

    In the Crucible, Arthur Miller writes of the hysteria during Salem Witch Trials, hoping that the world will never do anything stupid again because of hysteria. During the Salem Witch Trials there were many people that chose to act as individuals, rather than a community. Judge Danforth, Reverend Parris , and Abigail Williams had the power to stop, and even prevent the trials, but chose not to because they did not care for anyone except themselves. Judge Danforth could have stopped the trials when he found out that he was wrong about the whole thing. Also, Parris is the reason the trails took place, and Abigail Williams fed the flame of hysteria throughout the trails. These three individual contribute to callous attitudes that exist in Salem, and cause the ultimate deaths of the innocent.…

    Don't lie to hail she comes to me while I sleep she's always making me dream corruptions."page 1091" The crucible is in the astonishing play about the history of Salem and witchcraft. This play is a story from past time, Abigail Williams is a huge part of this play because of her scheming ways to put people to death as you can see from the previous quote I listed, this was one of her many lies. Many different people play a role in the Salem deaths but Abigail started all and kept playing it off until she killed in abundant amount. Abigail is responsible for numerous deaths that occurred during this time. Due to her falsely accusing goody Proctor, threatening the girls to take part in her lies, and her admission to guilt by leaving Salem.

    The land of the free and land of equality was not what America was displaying in the McCarthy era. This shows irony because the rights of the accused were violated, they were not treated fairly. In the Salem witch trials if the accused confessed to being a witch they lived, if they were brave enough to stand for them selves and not lie, they were put to death. This is irony in itself. A supposed pure, virtuous, young Abigail Williams was a hypercritical and ironic character throughout the play. Abigail was a conniving, revengeful, harlot. She, along with many other young girls, accused many innocent people of witchery to cover not only her faults and lies but also many of the girls that followed her. Mary Warren, a young girl that worked in the Proctor household, made a poppet while at the trials in the presence of Abigail; it was later pinned on Elizabeth Proctor that she made a voodoo doll in attempt to kill Abigail. The adulterer, John Proctor, was accused of being the devils advocate when trying to reveal the lies of the girls whom had started all the witch trials. When fighting to…

    It’s hard to say the reason, but it can be assumed that Danforth is accusing someone of practicing witchcraft. Danforth is using his status as a judge to fuel people's revenge and fear by sending anyone accused of a witch to death. Danforth can only be a religious figure or a judge he can't be both because that manipulates his logic of what is right and what is wrong. In source C the author, who discusses the entirety of the play, has an interesting point of of mentioning “..[Puritans are] prone to a certain amount of intolerance towards any form of opposition or dissent… any form of individuality will be considered subversive and dangerous.” People in puritan society could not be different they had to be like everyone else drab and basic. There was a fear of anything that was original, or could, in there mind, be associated with the devil. This shaped how they acted in the presence of whom they thought was a witch. If someone was thought to be a witch they would be outcasted immediately, friends and family would abandon them because they were thought to be associating with devil, performing heinous acts against God. Source D is a good example of how persons should act vs how most people acted. The first line, “If ever two were one, then surely we” is example of how someone married should act, this woman's love for her husband is everlasting and she puts there love before anything else in her…

    (Turns to the front) I can’t fathom the senselessness of Danforth and Pariss to believe that the people of Salem are witch’s when their only choice is to admit to witchery, to sign to a lie, as God’s law looks down upon the deaths of so many innocents and makes excuses and lies…
