Although Abigail Williams does not physically appear in Act II of The Crucible, her presence casts a long shadow over the act. She has a powerful influence over Salem. The town dynamics change and the social order is altered as Abigail Williams assumes more and more prestige. For instance, Elizabeth learns of Abigail’s newfound power and control in the town: “Abigail brings the other girls into the court, and where she walks the crowd will part like the sea for Israel. And folks are brought…

By Elizabeth lying to Danforth about the affair, it is shown that Elizabeth loves John. She lies to protect him. Even when one does not believe in the…

Wilderness in the Eyes of a Contemporary and Thoreau. (A comparison of the view of nature between Thoreau in his text, Walden and a person in today’s society.) People today seem to have many different views on nature and the purpose it serves us currently. Nature can be a place of horror and monsters, or a place of retreat, or simply something that exists.

abandon Faith in the beginning of the story in order to visit the devil in the woods represents how all people experiment with evil at some point in their life. Goodman Brown’s dealings with Faith represent the theme of hypocrisy. In the beginning, he states to the devil that “Faith kept me back awhile”, which makes one infer that Goodman Brown wants to take the journey into the woods (Hawthorne 285). In contrast, at the end of the story, he tries to rely on Faith to take him away from the…

Transcendentalists are philosophers who believe in order to live a successful life one must live by challenging experience and not conforming to society.…
