    The Crucible

    The Crucible is play written in 1952 by Arthur Miller that is based off the Salem witch trials that took place in Salem, Massachusetts. More than 150 people were accused of witchcraft during this time period. Nineteen people were hung between 1692 and 1693, and one was pressed to death. The Crucible is known to be one of the hallmarks of American literature and has been produced consistently since the 19th century. It was first recognized as a standard piece of literature and was commonly known as a melodrama. Arthur Miller was an accused victim of the “red scare,” and used this play as an allegory to the accusations that he faced. In order for a play to be successful, the play needs to have a strong beginning with conflict and tension so that the audience does not lose interest within the first few minutes. The play needs to be suspenseful and use dramatic irony effectively with a purpose. Conflict must be apparent, but it cannot overwhelm the audience with too many problems. In the Crucible, Miller uses a three part structure which uses in medias res that is flawed in the middle, a subplot that keeps the audience drawn in and employs dramatic irony that is appealing and humorous.…

    Callous attitudes in the Crucible

    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.…

    Human Relationships In The Crucible '

    The role of human relationships and the other are vital points to the play. The other most likely implies the audience as it is a play. In the play the characters are constantly trying to deceive themselves, but the other two can see right through it. Torture in this form of Hell is the assigned judgement of others and the "other" based on what that person did during their lifetime. This is significant to the central theme, because without these human relationships between each of the three characters would not have been able to admit what their sins. Overtime the three got to no each other no matter how much it upset them, which allowed them to open themselves up. Garcin was able to admit that in a way he was a coward and that the way he treated…

    "The Crucible" Lust For Power

    Thomas Jefferson once said, "Power is not alluring to pure minds". This quote could fit in nicely with the type of minds there are in _The Crucible._ Pure minds do not want power, which leads any reader to believe that Abigail Williams does not have a pure mind. In the play she is constantly telling on people getting them thrown in jail and hanged. However, she just wanted the attention of a certain man that she loved with a burning passion.

    Pride In The Crucible

    In the Christian faith or tradition, there are seven deadly sins that are considered the worst thing one can do, leading to that person’s downfall. Of all the sins, pride is considered the most negative character trait one can have. It is defined as; a deep pleasure derived from esteem in one’s own achievement, a super confidence and high esteem in one’s own abilities and inordinate vanity. Pride fools a person into thinking the source of greatness is only found within themselves. Pride considered to be the most negative attribute for the reason of being the key to all other deadly sins. All in all, pride corrupts the common good.

    The Crucible

    In The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, I found three of the several themes shown throughout the play to be important. In Salem, fear rules the lives of the villagers, causing irrational actions. Also, the Salem Villagers are very manipulative people and will coerce others into doing what they want. Finally, the officials tend to follow either the letter of the law, or the spirit of the law, affecting the choices that are made in court. These themes are shown periodically throughout the play, and play a large part in the interactions between the villagers.…

    The Crucible

    “Fear is simply the consequence of every lie”~Fyodor Dostoyevski. Dostoyevski explains that fear and lying come hand to hand. Telling lies creates a fear of being discovered having told a lie. In addition, one only conjures a lie if there is something to hide. Therefore the discovery of secrets also induces fear. Fear, whether it be fear of life, or reputation, can heavily influence the actions of society. It possess the ability to impair the judgement and actions of people. Similarly, in The Crucible by Arthur Miller, the townspeople are completely ruled by fear. This fear is mainly caused by the strict punishments given to those who violate Puritan morals. It also brings along a sense that one must protect his own life and interests. This need for self-preservation leads to widespread denial and in some cases, even the accusation of others. Governed by the terror of Puritanical law, the townspeople learn to fear its consequences and become quick to deny and accuse others of witchcraft to save themselves, which ultimately leads to the tragic death of innocent citizens…
