The Crucible is symbolic of both of these words. In act one Abigail Williams was the most responsible for the chaotic situation that occurred in Salem in the 1600’s. In act one Abigail Williams was most responsible for the riotous situation in Salem. “I look for John Proctor that took me from my sleep and put knowledge in my heart”(pg 1099). Abigail is saying that John gave her hope and love. John Proctor had an affair on his wife Abigail causing her to fall in love with him. Her desire to have John

I think an important event in the novel Red Sky In The Morning by Elizabeth Laird is Ben’s birth. This is an important event because Ben is handicapped‚ which teaches Anna and her family how different life can be and how to cope when you have a disabled child in the family. Ben’s birth triggered a lot of other important events in the novel‚ such as Anna being scared to tell her classmates about her brother and Miranda finding out about Ben. Firstly‚ Ben is a handicapped child. Even though he is

conversations the name Elizabeth Blackwell is very unlikely to be brought up. For most people the name may cause confusion to spread over the attendees face. The name Elizabeth Blackwell has an important meaning to me and quite possibly some other women too. For me‚ Elizabeth is not a conversation ender but a starter. She ignites passion‚ inspiration‚ and hope for the future. For the future of women. For the future of medicine. Elizabeth Blackwell‚ formally Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell‚ was the first

Elizabeth’s Character – Good or Bad? Just like many puritan women‚ Elizabeth Proctor is reserved‚ slow to complain‚ and dutiful. Elizabeth’s moral character proves to be an important factor all through the book. She gives people in the play and people today the example on how to treat others when she said‚ "I have sins of my own to count" (Miller 137). People can’t go around judging others and not check themselves and be rightly so to judge. Before she knew of this she said‚ "I have read my heart"

In Act IV‚ Scene II‚ where Lady Macduff appears‚ it is clear that Shakespeare intended her as a foil for Lady Macbeth. First of all‚ Lady Macduff cares about her son and has maternal instinct. She says‚ “To leave his wife‚ to leave his babes from whence himself does fly? … For the poor wren‚ the most diminutive of birds‚ will fight‚ her young ones in her nest‚ against the owl” (4.2.6-11). She is protective of her son and is a traditional mother figure; she says that even the birds care about their

Elizabeth Bishop The Fish Elizabeth Bishop’s "The Fish" deals with the contact of a fisher with his just caught victim. It’s about the feeling of private triumph and moreover the pity and respect for others. The poem which is told the reader by a first person narrator starts with the fact that the fisher just caught the fish without having to struggle. It wasn’t hard for him to catch the fish because he didn’t make an effort to escape. The fish which he is holding beside the boat

In reading this passage‚ from Arthur Miller’s The Crucible‚ I have come to believe that John’s relationship with Elizabeth and Elizabeth’s relationship with John are two completely different things. Elizabeth’s relationship seems more at ease‚ a little distant‚ untrusting‚ but yet non-judgmental. Now John’s relationship seems to be passionate about arguing‚ trusting‚ a little judgmental (of self)‚ and regret. But similarly they have love in common. First up is Elizabeth’s relationship with John
