The Crucible Act 1 Summary

Hook: Crucible is a book filled with mistakes and the outcomes of those mistakes. Every single action that a person commits leads to either a positive or a negative consequence, and this piece of literature provides readers with an opportunity to analyze some causes and effects.

In chapter 8 just as we thought Ethan had given up on the idea of running away with Mattie, because he had no money he came up with a plan to deceive the hales in order to get an advance on the lumber money to fulfill his plan. His plan included taking advantage of Andrew Hale’s kindness and using his sick wife’s illness as a lie “suddenly it occurred to him that Andrew Hale ,who was a kind-hearted man , might be induced to reconsider his refusal and advance a small sum on the lumber if he were told Zeena’s ill-health made it necessary to hire a servant” (Wharton chapter 8). As he was making his way to the Hale’s home he saw Andrew’s wife and their son driving the sleigh. They stopped to talk and Mrs. Hale began to explain her sympathy for

In Act II, we see quite a bit going on, and it seems to be the climax of the story. We see Torvald belittle women once again when he says " is it to get about now that the new manager has changed his mind at his wife's bidding." We learn that Torvald expedited Krogstad's dismissal, and thus we see Nora acting really out of sorts as she tries harder and harder to maker sure Torvald never learns her secret- even going as far as to pretend she has no clue how to do the Tarantella to stop Torvald from reading the letter that Krogstad left. Finally, the Act leaves us with Nora stating "Thirty-One" hours to live- so us as readers are left wanting to know- is she going to commit suicide? Will Krogstad kill her? Or is it hypothetical- that she believes

These

To start off I felt this was a good movie overall. One scene I felt that had stood out was when the black man was showed the pattern on the cloth showing that there was a house he can escape to with his daughter. This scene kind of gave us a hint that many people probably knew about the house but was too scared to escape in fear of being caught. I felt that the black man was very determined to get his daughter away safely no matter what so much that he went in to unknown water just to hide from the slave masters. I was a little confused at the begging because I thought slave work consisted of picking cotton or some other hardship. There was a scene that stood out to me on a personal note. The scene were the black man was hanged and his daughter was watching as this occurred.

During his trial, the Yankee makes a false claim that the man he assaulted struck him first, and that he was only trying to defend himself. When he returned to his quarters, he found his master's body dead on the floor. He soon found out that the king had escaped, and so his master began beating the other slaves and they revolted against him. All the slaves were sentenced to death, and in an effort to save himself and the king, the Yankee contacted Clarence. Clarence then sent a rescue team to London.

Act 3 takes place in the church, which had been turned into a courtroom for the witch trials. Mary testified that they were only pretending to be afflicted by the witchcraft. Proctor was questioned about his religious beliefs. Judge Danforth arrested Giles for not giving him the name of the man who gave him information on the witchcraft, because he didn’t want to give away Putnam. Abigail was then sent on trial, and denied Mary’s testimony. The girls accused Mary of bewitching them with a cold wind and that she was responsible of the witchcraft. When Abigail accused Mary, Proctor called Abigail a whore and confessed his affair with her. He explained that Elizabeth fired her when she discovered it. He claimed that Abigail wanted Elizabeth to

For the first shot of this scene I would like to begin with an interior establishing shot to show where the interaction between Margaret and Glenn will take place. The shot will be in the perspective of Glenn, and will be a long shot that shows the entire room. This shot will show that Margaret is the character in power throughout the situation. Margaret will be placed in front of a large window with her back turned toward the camera and Glenn. The street lights outside of the window cause her to be back lit, and her back being turned shows that she will start the meeting when she wants to.

The image that was given was about a man covering or protecting the girl, there was three man who looks like a judge or a counselor, and it looks like an accusation or confession. This image is about the play that was written by Arthur Miller, The Crucible. The play was about witchcraft that was observing in the village, and because they were Christians who has strong faith.in God they prohibited witchcraft. They don’t like witchcraft not because this can ruin their religion but it is also a threat to their society. It the image connects to the theme because since the witchcraft has happened in their village, they were investigating people and killing innocent people.

I feel that extremism is dangerous because it can lead to intolerance, lying and hurting others.

Scene 1 Narrator: Once upon a future, in the year a brother and sister were watching TV and was enjoying a snack. During the middle of the show, an art show aired. “Why do they still have these?”

The beginning of the religion side of the novel starts in Chapter Four: “Doubts and Difficulties” in this chapter Mr. Hale tells Margaret why they are relocating their family to Milton: It is all myself. Margaret, I will tell you about it. I will answer any questions this once, but after to-night let us never speak of it again. I can meet the consequences of my painful, miserable doubts; but it is an effort beyond me to speak of what has caused me so much suffering.'

From deciding whether or not to eat the last pudding, to stopping at a stop sign when no policemen are around, people face moral choices every day. However, sometimes a challenging decision finds its way to the forefront of someone’s life. A decision that does not only affect that person then and there but lingers and affects other people as well. Lawyers defend people they know are guilty, witnesses of crimes may not speak out in fear of their lives, and politicians lie about their opinions in order to save their public image until they get into power. A historical example a major moral test took place in Salem, 1692. When accusations of witchcraft were thrown left and right, innocent citizens were faced with the decision of saving their lives while potentially damning their souls, or saving their souls in exchange for their worldly lives. Arthur Miller’s play The Crucible highlights the difficult test of maintaining moral integrity during these times, primarily through the characters of Proctor, Elizabeth, and Mary Warren-- some pass their crucibles while others fail.

Elizabeth sits by the window. Her chair is turned away from the rising sun. She sits still.

During Act 2, many occurrences happened. One in particular took my attention with a bit more force than some of the other content. According to the text, “… But not Sarah Good. For Sarah Good confessed, y’see. I hear a voice, a screamin’ voice, and it were my voice-and at all at once I remembered everything she done to me” (Miller 60)! This quote shows that this woman, Sarah Good, did something to Mary Warren that made her traumatized and afraid. According to the text, “… ‘Sarah Good,’ says he, ‘what curse did you mumble that this girl must fall sick after turning you away’” (Miller 61)? This quote demonstrates the acts Sarah did to Mary. I connected to this scene by remembering an old show that recently aired called Merlin.
