Arthur Miller reveals that power can corrupt and turn people cruel. This alters judgement and perception and destroys justice, and it can lead to people picking poor decisions and hurting people around them. Power can show peoples true colors showing that they are manipulative, deceitful, and dark; it could even should that they’re selfish for themselves or only the people they love.

Quotes:

Abigail uses her power to keep the girls from saying anything else happened in that forest by saying she’s going to hurt/kill them.

“I will come to you in the black if some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you.”

Elizabeth uses her power to convince Danforth that her husband is a good man even though she knows he cheated on her. “My husband— is a goodly man, sir.”

Abigail uses her to power to tell Betty to stop this because she knows Betty is faking it and she’s of afraid to use force to make sure her name is clean. “She goes to Betty and roughly sits here up. “Now, you— sit up and stop this!”

Analysis:

In “The Crucible”by Arthur Miller, Abigail Williams perceives as the most powerful character. In Act I, Abigail begins to convince Parris that her and the girl’s were dancing not doing witchcraft in the woods. Abigail lies to cover herself and the affair she had with John Proctor. In court she denies the accusations. In Act III, Abigail states, “ Oh, Mary, this is a black art to change your shape. No, I cannot, I cannot stop my mouth; It’s Gods work I do” She expresses that Mary Warren is Lucifer and wants to hurt her. Mary Warren however, is confused and is desperate for Danford to see that she is not trying to hurt her. Towards the end of Act III, Abigail takes Parris’ money in his safe. Abigail, the girl’s, and Mercy Lewis, leave Salem, after Abigail is being accused of the affair. Abigail throughout “The Crucible”  lies and manipulates the people in Salem in order to save herself and her reputation.

In “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller, Betty Whites is shown to be the most powerful character. In Act I,  all the girls get caught dancing in the forest and since Betty doesn’t want to get in trouble, she fakes being unconscious. This takes the blame off of her and onto other people. Therefore, a lot of accusations are made up and a rumor of witchcraft arises by Betty starting it all. Everyone believes she’s cursed and she has the power accuse anyone since she’s “cursed.” Hence the scene when Betty wakes up and starts naming innocent people. “She does to Betty and roughly sits her up. Now, you—sit up and stop this!” Abigail knows that Betty is faking it all and is telling her to wake up and stop this since problems are arising.

In “The Crucible”by Arthur Miller, Governor Danforth is perceived as the most powerful character. He is clearly intelligent, successful, and highly respected. He comes to Salem to judge the witch trials fairly and justly he states “ follow the law. The law is the Bible.” Giving the statement only improved his status in such a religious town. Despite being an amazing judge he is to egotistical to see the truth. Even when presented with tons of evidence he will not admit the trials were fake. He is to wrapped up in his ego and instead of being humiliated he sends people to there death by convicting them and by doing so preserving his image as the honorable judge. Danforth is known for being just, honorable, and righteous.... so why would anyone question such a powerful man even knowing that these people are innocent.

Arthur Miller’s ‘The Crucible’ reveals the significance of morality and integrity through the play. The play reveals this by highlighting devastation and corruption as a consequence of abandoning one’s integrity in the pursuit of personal vendettas. Reverend Parris and John Proctor, Miller are motivated by integrity. Blinded by a desire for authority, Parris reveals his hypocrisy. Which he is motivated by integrity using the witch-trials as a moral platform to persecute his neighbors, despite his Puritan proclamations. Conversely, John Proctor makes the ultimate sacrifice in the name of self-redemption; he dies as a symbol of integrity. The depiction of Salem as a severely Puritan culture allows audiences to understand that the accusatory atmosphere of witchcraft represents the upsurge of a long-restricted society, a rebellion in which citizens abandoned their Puritan morality to express. This is embodied by Parris- a pillar of Puritanism within Salem- yet a character whose fear of being brought down and whose fixation with reputation dictate his actions throughout the play. This is evident when he knows the girls have been engaging in witchcraft, yet his first concern is not the endangerment of their souls or the wellbeing of his daughter but the repercussions the scandal will have on his reputation.  In direct contradiction, John Proctor demonstrates utmost loyalty to his Puritan morality through overcoming sentiments of personal anguish, guilt and a temptation to refuse his moral obligations altogether. As opposed to Parris, Proctor overcomes internal conflict to accept the responsibility he has to his neighbors and to his own conscience to respect his Puritan morality, even in death. Both his affair with Abigail and his initial reservations to confess to it out of concern for damaging his reputation even if his confession would save innocent lives. Proctor faces an identity crisis throughout the play in having abandoned his Christian values and in perceiving himself as a fraud. Proctor’s final decision to tear up his confession characterizes the fact that his largest motivator is to show integrity. Overcoming temptations to confess to witchcraft, he finds the goodness within himself. Proctor had the option to incriminate others as did Parris, he instead dies as a display of goodness and integrity. He has been tortured by his own guilt brought about by his original sin but is ultimately motivated by the preservation of his soul.

Reverend Parris integrity/morality shows in the first act the first lines that come out of his mouth. Parris only cares about himself he doesn’t care if he does wrong to others he just cares about himself and his reputation. He shows it when Betty isn’t waking up and people are starting rumors that  witch craft is involved or is the reason for it. Towards the end of the book reverend Parris gets very nervous and scared when enough evidence to show that the group of girls were lying and weren’t bewitched. He try’s hard to show that the people saying the truth are lying, so that his spot as reverend won’t get taken or so that people won’t say anything bad about him. He shows that his integrity is very bad and he’s very self centered.

John proctor integrity analysis: The author amazes integrity and moral a strong standard for the people of Salem. Those who lied would be caught in court and maybe killed but those who stayed truthful would most likely find themselves to live another day. John proctor had the strongest integrity as he went against he girls in court to try and save his wife and the good persons in the town. Proctor said “Do that which is good, and no harm shall come to the” (page 88) , as we can see proctor believes in doing the right things and that doing what is right will lead god to protect you. Proctor never meant harm to anyone and loved his family even with his life regrets. When John did mess up he also knew it and regretted it in its complete form. Later in the crucible when proctor had already confessed to the court but his wife lied to protect him he had said before she was removed, crying “Elizabeth I have confessed it” (page 105).This strengthens the idea of doing what is good and being truthful will protect you because Elizabeth has lied in court and now she will be punished for her unlawful actions. John doing what he thinks is rig hen and trying to save her cane form his actions and his saying improves johns storing sense of integrity.
