Will Behan Critical lens for The Crucible Edmund Burke once stated “No passion so effectively robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear”.

All My Sons 3/18/13 Critical Lens - Benjamin Aereli Benjamin Aereli once said that “Circumstances are beyond the control of the man‚ but his conduct is in his power.” I agree with this quote.
