Reflection On The Crucible

“The Crucible” was a play, which demonstrated the order of human mentality when falling into fear. This comes from the extreme behavior found in response to the Salem witch trials. The Salem witch trials in this play have demonstrated the hidden desires or true thought coming from people. The limitations to prospective actions slowly become narrower as time progresses throughout the storyline and can relate to how the author was facing as well with the fear of neo-Nazis and the affiliation with people which terrorized America. This is connected to how Americans treat the current country and how the people in the town treated each other. The relation is uncanny to present day

In The Crucible by Arthur Miller there are many power hungry character. Even Though The Crucible is loosely based from historical event in 1692 the Salem Witch Trials Arthur Miller used the real McCarthyism trials to show and represents how people became so power hungry. In The Crucible the message given about power hungry people is that no matter what walk of life you come from there always a part of you that will crave power like with Putnam, Parris, and Mary.

A crucible is a container which is heated to separate impurities mainly from metals and sometimes other substances. Arthur Miller’s play, The Crucible, takes place in a quiet Massachusetts town known as Salem. Rumors of witchcraft, however have unfortunately left the townspeople susceptible to blame one another. A quiet town virtually turned in a mad haven for blame, revenge, and dark satisfaction overnight. The reader witnesses all of these events unfold as they delve into the story of The Crucible and reveal how revenge reveals the motives of many characters.

The Crucible by Arthur Miller is a one of a kind, outstanding play that remains relevant from the 1950’s through today. The Crucible depicts life in the 1600s during the Salem witch trials. Arthur Miller crafts an intricately layered story with many points of view from a variety of characters. Although the story takes place in 1692 the lessons and values taught have importance in our society today. One of the lessons highlighted in The Crucible is how ignorance can affect communities and even have catastrophic results that may last many years or completely change the dynamic of an era.

Thesis Statement: Arthur Miller conveys of the theme of jealousy by how it can ruin lives by abigail was jealous of elizabeth proctor Also John Putnam is moved by jealousy by he is jealous of others people's property.

The Crucible is a complex and intriguing novel with events, characters and themes comparable to almost every period of human history. It is common for humans to fear change and what is unknown, in the play The Crucible this is witchcraft and the devil, in more recent times it can be seen in post World War Two and Cold War United States, through McCarthyism. The themes in the crucible are as important to people in the 21st century as in Salem in 1692. These include justice, reputation, hysteria, intolerance and empowerment. All of these are common themes throughout human history. The characters in The Crucible are also important to people of the 21st century as they can teach us a little bit about people around us and their reactions when

In the play "The Crucible" written by Arthur Miller, the author displays how easily people can make judgments based on their personal beliefs rather than rational and logical reasoning. Miller elucidates throughout the play that truth has no meaning when men believe only what they want to believe. A situation is created where there are factors capable of forcing characters into making assessments based on what they think is right while disregarding the truth. Three characters in Miller's play who abandon the truth because they choose to believe only what they want to believe are Reverend Parris, Reverend John Hale and Judge Danforth.

The definition of judgment according to Encarta Encyclopedia, is the formation of an opinion. It is a simple definition,clear and direct. Although, there is more to the word judgment than meets the eye. What about the last word in the definition? What is an opinion? An opinion is described as a belief or conclusion that is held without any substantial proof. That word might not seem to have too much significance at this very moment, but it did back in 1692, in Salem, Massachusetts, during the witch scare. Making a judgment on somebody may seem harmless, but it can be very destructive.

‘The Crucible’ written by Arthur Miller and my related material ‘Happy Feet’ by George Miller is true to this statement “Understanding nourishes belonging…a lack of understanding prevents it” that represents the interpretation of belonging. To define belong is to have the correct personal and social assets to be a member of a particular group or it could be to fit a particular environment.

Corruption and gullibility drove Salem into panic and fear. The Salem Witch Trials were written in the book The Crucible by Arthur Miller. The Crucible is a story about the trials in town called Salem; in this town a group of girls led by Abigail goes to the woods and dances. Abigail’s uncle, Samuel Parris, found them dancing in the woods, which causes the whole town to go into hysteria. The town starts accusing each other of witchcraft. Samuel Parris is a minister that is terrified that the town will throw him out for being associated with witch craft. He uses his power as minister to gain respect from the town. Abigail is the unofficial leader of the group of girls that were victims of witchcraft, which gave her remarkable power. She

It was nightfall before we reached the deceptively quiet town of Beacon Hills. The highway was shrouded thick with trees on each side and I was briefly reminded of home, an unsettling feeling forming in the pit of my stomach. ‘It’s safe here,’ Chris had assured us, ‘things will be easier.’ I wanted desperately to put faith in those words, repeating it to myself as a sort of mantra on the drive down, but the doubt had only grown with every mile we traveled.

One lesson I learned from The Crucible by Arthur Miller is that lying will get me no where. In the play lying from many characters contributed to destruction in their lives and the town. Lies can cause a continuous mistrust from a person/or people. Just like John Proctor’s case. The Proctors’ had a girl named Abigail Williams work for them and John began to have an affair with her. John lied about the ongoing affair many times to Elizabeth (his wife). When the affair came out to be true, Abigail was fired and Elizabeth lost her trust for John. “Proctor, stubbornly: For a moment alone, aye. Elizabeth: Why, then, it is not as you told me. Proctor, his anger rising: For a moment, I say. The others come in soon after. Elizabeth, quietly - she has suddenly lost all faith in him: Do as

Proctor. For the first and only time in the play we see Abigail as her

1. I identify most with Mary Warren because she wanted to tell the truth and do what was right, however, she did not because she was afraid of Abigail. Miller identified most with John Proctor because Miller’s marriage of twelve years was similar to John and Elizabeth’s relationship. Miller says that John was able to fight against madness around him was a reassurance and inspiration to Miller.
