Just what is it that creates so much suspense in literature? Irony is used numerous times throughout The Crucible by Arthur Miller. Irony is when a character's words or actions contrast with what happens or what is expected to happen, and is often what makes a story so riveting. Verbal, situational, and dramatic are the three types of irony used during this play. Irony is included in The Crucible many times to enhance the reader's experience. Verbal irony is when a character conveys a meaning…

Mad people make more sense than sane people, according to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Lewis Carroll tells a story about a little girl named Alice falling through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. “Well, I’d hardly finished the first verse, when the Queen jumped up and bawled out, ‘He’s murdering the time! off with his head!’” said the Mad Hatter. The Mad Hatter, the March Hare, and the Dormouse are all mad in the imaginary world in which…

In the crucible by Arthur Miller there are many themes that cause conflict within many characters. One theme that strongly influences John, Elizabeth, and Reverend Hale is pride. Pride is defined as a feeling or deep pleasure or satisfaction deprived from one’s own achievements.(citation) A big part of these characters decisions were all shaped or influenced by pride and self-worth. John's pride was rooted in his status and virtue. Elizabeth's pride put a strain on forgiving John for his…

work by C.S Lewis can expect just that. Lewis was a poet, scholar, and above all, one of the most renowned authors of fantasy literature during the 20th century. He was best known for The Chronicles of Narnia series, and specifically, The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. He was a devout Christian and was a defender and teacher of the faith. His faith and life experiences had a massive impact on his works of literature that can be seen clearly by readers. Clive Staples (C.S.) Lewis was born…

Mrs Grose on the way to see the Master while in the Cart with Flora, recalling the terrible things the Governess has done. Mrs Grose intends to expose the Governess to the Master: I too should share the blame, my incompetence was extreme. In way I indeed was an accomplice, I spurred on her treacherous thoughts and even worse in fact, I intensified them. However, she [the governess] was insane. The belief she held that my dear and innocent Miles and Flora held evil nature was preposterous. I have…

Exploration of the region began with the Lewis and Clark Expedition; upon returning from the Pacific Northwest, Lieutenant William Clark led a group down the Yellowstone River. John Colter is recorded as the first European to explore the Yellowstone region and the river. He and fur trader Manuel…

The physical setting of The Crucible is in a small town with about 100 or so people. The temporal setting takes place in the early 1600’s with a heavy religious background. The author advances the storyline by breaking the story in acts. The setting is very critical; I don’t think a Crucible type of story could take place in the sunny hills of California in the 21 century. The tone is dark and religious, and the theme is lying, trust, and deceit. The main protagonist of The Crucible…

In Arthur Miller’s play “The Crucible,” John Proctor, husband of Elizabeth Proctor, and a middle-aged farming man struggles with his sense of goodness. Many events test his goodness and sense of kindness towards friends. This play proves he does regain his sense of goodness at the end of the play leading to his iconic character’s death. Proctor, gains his sense of goodness towards the end of the play. Different quotes from this play do in fact show he does in quite a few ways, regain the…

There are quite a few characters in “The Crucible” and all with different situations and personality, but a man named John Procter is the character is the character that peeks my interests most. John Procter was a farmer/outcast of Salem who has a wife (Elizabeth), 2 kids, and usually never attended the church. John is a good honest man who is able to see all perspectives of a situation and always sought for a solution that would benefit the people most, he was really looked up to by the…
