Chester A. Arthur

Throughout Arthur Miller’s play, The Crucible, multiple themes are employed such as the effect of delirium on society, the importance of reputation, and the belief that everyone indulges in the vices of hypocrisy. Miller describes the nonsense of witchcraft destroying the town of Salem. By the end of the play, three months after the accusation incidents, the village is left as a corrupt wasteland. The vengeance of the people allows their trust to falter and friendships to break. For example,…

Greed and Revenge The Crucible by Arthur Miller is about people in Salem being accused of witchcraft. Abigail works for Elizabeth and John Proctor. Then, Elizabeth fires Abigail because of Abigail displeasing her and her husband. Later on, Abigail, accuses Elizabeth Proctor, John Proctor’s wife, of being a witch so she can be with John Proctor.

In A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, Sydney Carton starts off as lazy alcoholic attorney who doesn’t have an interest in his own life and ends as a man who sacrifices his own life for a friend that married the girl of his dreams. He even calls himself a worthless and good for nothing man and then he makes a 180 degree turn to become a man who sacrifices himself for his friends.

running which was pretty funny. One theme they messed with was when the green knight was fighting the black knight and in the story the green knight won but in the movie the black night won and king Arthur came they fought and when king Arthur cut the black knights arm off he didn’t surrender and king Arthur cut aff the rest of his limbs so he couldn’t fight, the black knight…

Salem Witchcraft The Crucible is set around the 1600’s and written by Arthur Miller. The Puritans lived a very harsh but simple life. The puritans had certainly few values at the time, but they treated them as it was there whole life. The majority of their material values were wants not need, unlike today. Puritans were practically all about religion and a bit of drama thrown in here and there. The Puritans were living a tough yet simple life. They had practically no wants and all the…

The Crucible In the play The Crucible by Arthur Miller, people lie to save their lives, to save the lives of others, and to maintain their reputation, and these lies negatively impact the characters in the play. For example, after being discovered in the woods and with the realization they will be punished, Abigail and her friends accuse Tituba and other townspeople of witchcraft. When Tituba senses that the blame is on her shoulders, she proceeds to accuse Sarah Good. Once the witch hunt is…

civilizations, it demonstrated an attempt for people to separate themselves from nature. In the poem, the imagery of the green knight is used to suggest a connection to nature as he can be described as “completely emerald green” (Gawain, 150), while Arthur and his court represent civilization “the king with his knights entered the hall/ When the service in the chapel came to an end” (Gawain, 62,63). The representation of civilization demonstrates and opposition nature with a controlled hierarchy…

Power-hungry Finger-pointers. These two historical events have much in common, particularly their leaders. Abigail Williams and Joeseph McCarthy are both “power-hungry finger pointers.” They both are fantastic at blaming innocent people for crimes, and they are professional power and attention hogs.The process of the two events are also similar, even though the events happened in different time periods, and were about different topics. In the Crucible, there are about 8, or so steps. The…

Both The Crucible and Good Night and Good Luck are stories about how fear controled people. Even though to some it seemed that they were doing the right thing. Fear is a useful tool to control people;Abigail used the existing power of the church, to frame people, McCarthy used the fear of communists to control people and the government they both used fear. In New England, of Colonial America, the Puritan Church held lots of power over their citizens. Puritans decided cases only on biblical…

In the crucible there is a big dilemma, there are lies about everything and you can’t trust anybody if you were in the story. We as people reading the book have a very good idea of what’s going on in the beginning, towards the end we know exactly what is going on. We see who is good and bad and who is telling the truth and who is lying and the people who are telling the truth are getting punished and there is nothing we can do about it so we just watch the good people who grew onto us as we were…
