The Crucible Historical Analysis

A Psycho-Historical Analysis Of The Salem Witch Trials

Written By Megan Hanson (2015)

After reading The Crucible by Arthur Miller, and hearing the various approaches to the story by my peers.

This was the best way to show my ideas because our society isn't currently based on how well students learn, but by how we show it through a production of it. Society refuses to change in a lot of ways, writing essays being an example, but in certain ways it does change. My choice example is how we diagnose mental disorders in the now.

The point of this was to show how static they were in the novel, in my opinion, even though they both were a part of the conflict they barely changed. Also it shows how they might've been diagnosed as a mental patient in 2015, however I have no psychology degree so I can't exactly speak from a educational view (in theory) but I can use my own personal experience and knowledge to show you the thought process I used. (Please refer to either both or one of the evaluations included)

Those are some of the examples of how they might've been diagnosed, and how they should've been evaluation now. Except it probably doesn't help with the lack of doctors in the 1600s, but this is all basically
