Arthur Miller's Rhetoric Of Blindness

Decent Essays
On the topic of blindness, Miller's argument that one knows who he is before even opening his eyes in the morning is very interesting. It refutes Weirob's idea that seeing something is needed to realize its existence. The person who has his eyes shut in the morning, still knows that it is him, even without seeing his body. A blind person, never sees his body yet, still knows of his existence and consciousness. So it makes sense then, to say that even without seeing something, one can be consciousness of its existence. Which is what Weirob mentions in his second night in defending the existence of a soul.

    Hysteria is a state in which a person's emotions, specially fear, are so strong that a person may behave in an uncontrolled way. In this image, it clearly portrays the meaning of hysteria. Based on my understanding about the image, the woman is being accused of something she didn't do. In the play "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller, the people in the small town of Salem abruptly accused their own neighbors of practicing witchcraft and devil-worship. As this was happening, this once small town falls into mass hysteria.…

    The Crucible’s Blind Truth Arthur Miller’s portrayal of mass hysteria accurately depicts the enormity of unjudicial falsehoods from a communal perspective. The Crucible’s setting is in the small town of Salem, Massachusetts in 1692 when the controversial witch trials occurred. Parallel similarities arise to the way in which the Red Scare affected the people of the 1950s. Many of which became fully blind to truth of who was at fault for this mass hysteria. In Arthur Miller’s play, The Crucible, Elizabeth Proctor, Judge Danforth, and Abigail Williams are largely blind to the truth that holds them back from achieving true justice.…

    There are countless factors that shape individuals’ views of the world. One critical factor is a significant event in one’s life, which can have profound effects on that person’s outlook and viewpoint.

    American Playwright, Arthur Miller, in his allegorical play, The Crucible, recounts a story of the Salem witch trials which took place between 1692 and 1693 in Salem, Massachusetts. Miller’s purpose is to narrate a fictional account of a story of the Salem witch trials in third-person omniscient as a metaphorical statement against the spread of McCarthyism during the 1950s in America. In order to appeal to similar feelings and experience in his audience, a critical tone is adopted. Miller begins his allegorical play by acknowledging that John Proctor tries to obtain an understanding among parties in a discussion by pointing out simple facts. In Act 1 with Reverend Parris and further in the text with Putnam Miller displays this.…

    The main point of The Crucible, which was written by Arthur Miller, was to show the irony of the time period it was written during, which was the red scare. The origin of the story leads to it containing an abundance of unreasonable ignorance and hysteria. At the middle of all of this societal chaos is a character who is willing to sacrifice not only his reputation, but his life, in an attempt to show the truth and save the innocent, bringing the justice in the eyes of the ignorant. This character is John Proctor, and because of his sins in the past he is able to learn from them and redeem himself. John Proctor’s actions at the end of the play are believable because of this previously-mentioned redemption, and his actions further prove how…

    The Power of Integrity If you were given a choice: your integrity or your life, which would you chose? In the play, The Crucible, the author, Arthur Miller, reveals that most people chose their life over their integrity. The Crucible illustrates that this decision leads greater chaos and distrust through the hysteria that occurred in Salem in 1692. In this time people start to lie and accuse their neighbor of witchcraft to save themselves from the punishment, while their neighbors either hang for their false accusations or they too lie and put their neighbor in the same situation.…

    In John Perry’s “A Dialogue on Personal Identity and Immortality,” there are many arguments that discuss the criterion of personal identity. Within The First Night, Gretchen Weirob and Sam Miller begin to discuss the idea of an immaterial soul and its reasonability of existence, which is the main idea. Miller discusses the various reasons why an immaterial soul exists while Weirob argues its existence and eventually, its relevance. Throughout the dialogue, Miller introduces various theories to support the idea of an immaterial soul and its use of allowing the survival of a person after death. His main theory represents the principle of “Same body, same self” (Perry, 325) otherwise discussed as “same body, same soul.”…

    The Crucible: Ignorance vs. Wisdom Religions have a hand, in that, of completely blinding that of communities. In fact, some communities have completely changed that of their morals, to better accommodate to that of their chosen religious beliefs. As such, these communities have trouble in differentiating between that of being reasonable, and of, being unreasonable. Bringing this farther into a confrontation is that of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. Through that of his characters, Miller expresses ignorance, and of how, it can make a group go against that of rational thinking.…

    The following statement, “The crucible is essentially about courage, weakness, and truth,” is correct. In the crucible the attributes that the characters show/have aren't necessarily the best, yet some show the attribute of courage, Mary Warren and John Proctor show this attribute. Other times some characters show the trait of weakness, those characters are John Proctor, Mary Warren, and Ann Putnam. There is a lot of both those characteristics, but what mostly lacks in this play is one simple thing, the truth. Abigail Williams is a perfect example of this.…

    The Crucible is a story about faith, truth, morality and power. The characters in this play are battling with each of those in their own ways, some better than others. One definition of “crucible” is ‘the light placed in front of a crucifix’, if you apply this definition to The Crucible by Arthur Miller, my best interpretation is that the light represents the truth being shed onto the wrongdoings of those with power, represented by the crucifix. In the Bible, Jesus dies for the sins of mankind, and more specifically, he died because out Pontius Pilate’s refusal to accept the “truth” that Jesus was who he said he was.…
