The first scene of act three of The Crucible by Arthur Miller begins with the courthouse questioning an accused Martha Corey of witchcraft. In attempts to save his wife from imprisonment, Giles Corey claims that accusing Martha of witchcraft was just one way Thomas Putnam was getting back at them for personal resentment concerning land disputes.

He goes as far as to say that Hale, who came to Salem to investigate further, never once accused her of…

In the pot there was young ladies who were whimsical and would make outlandish claims about the presence of witches in Salem, they wouldn't have any evidence of it.…

English proves to be a difficult language because numerous words have more than one meaning to them. Some of those include run, call, and even quail. The context of the story or sentence helps the audience figure out which meaning best fits that situation. A title such as The Crucible can give the reader an insight to what the play will be about. Miller gives The Crucible this title because of the parallelism with its meaning to what happens in the story.…
