    The world can twist what it perceives as right and wrong in many people’s eyes leaving those who act in good spirit behind and propel those that act in bad spirit forward. The Crucible by Arthur Miller proves a prime example of this fact. Salem, Massachusetts, a corrupt town ruled by priests mixed in with mass hysteria, sets the stage for this story in which the liars and deceivers triumph over those who tell the truth and try to defend their loved ones. John Proctor, one of the victims of the town’s wrath, starts his journey as a respected farmer, but the deceitful Abigail Williams soon turns on him. The same fate awaits the wife of Proctor, Elizabeth.…

    The story is told through a mixture of memories and flashbacks. This means that the reader is continually moving between present and past and piecing together information in order to understand why the three principle characters think and behave as they do.

Our introduction to Larry in chapter 4 is positive – he is described as being glamorous ‘ a smile that revealed dazzling movie star teeth’; accomplished ‘ he hit home runs’, ‘he was also a dancer’. This inevitably creates intrigue because we cannot find an explanation for why Larry would now be Francis’ enemy.…
