  • Courage, Weakness, And Truth In Arthur Miller's The Crucible

    The statement,“The Crucible is essentially about courage, weakness, and truth,” is proven true numerous times, throughout the play. The Crucible was written by Arthur Miller, about the true events that happened in Salem, Massachusetts, between the years 1692 and 1693. The Salem witch trials consisted of many hangings, lies, and complete mass hysteria. The citizens of Salem followed the religion of Puritanism, and the ideas of predestination. The root of the mass hysteria comes from their belief in the sense that in something happens then it must have been planned by God. In Miller’s portrayal of the story, Abigail Williams was the ringleader of the witch trials, and she used the idea of predestination to cover up her own sins. Abigail was a very manipulative girl and ruined many lives. John Proctor, Mary Warren, and Elizabeth Proctor were just a few of the victims in Abby’s game.

  • Fear In The Crucible

    As American satirist Henry Louis Mencken once wrote, “The one permanent emotion of the inferior man is fear--fear of the unknown, the complex, the inexplicable. What he wants above everything else is safety.” Mencken’s skeptical view on fear can be influenced by the fact that individuals lose a sense of logic when fear is present. Fear, an unpleasant feeling, is caused in order to avoid the consequences of a situation because one is afraid; therefore, fear often takes control of one’s mind as individuals choose to be fearful rather than realizing logical knowledge can change the outcome of a situation. This ideology is illustrated throughout the events in The Crucible as playwright Arthur Miller suggests through contrasting characters that
