Quote: “she frightened all my strength away”,”how may that mouse frighten you, Elizabeth?”

Pg# 49

The author tries to show that Elizabeth is not a mentally strong person, and does not deal with confrontation well. I feel this way when my parents confront me on things they are mad about. She will always feel that way about Marry Warren. The visual imagery of a mouse to cast her as a small weak person. Not all humans can stand up for what they believe in or are scared to. Weakness. Worry, scared, and frightening

Quote : "Proctor, I cannot think God be provoked so grandly by such a petty cause...think on your village and what may have drawn from heaven such thundering wrath upon you all "  (Hale 75)

Analysis: This quote represents Hale telling proctor to think about every sin and everything he's done and to think what caused him to do so that god can forgive him and so that the village wouldn't be taken by gods wrath

Quote:  Proctor: Mary tell the Governor what they-
Mary Warren: Don't touch me-Don't touch me!
Proctor: Mary!
Mary Warren: You're the 🤬's man!
Parris: Praise God!
Girls: Praise God!
Proctor: Mary how-?
Mary Warren: I'll not hang with you! I love God, I love God.
Danforth: He bid you do the 🤬's work?
Mary Warren: He come at me by night and every day to sign, to sign, to—
Danforth : Sign what?
Parris: The 🤬's book? He come with a book?
Mary Warren: My name, he want my name. "I'll 🤬 you," he says, "if my wife hangs! We must go and overthrow the court," he says!
Proctor: Mr. Hale!
Mary Warren: He wake me every night, his eyes were like coals and his fingers claw my neck, and I sign, I sign...
Hale: Excellency, this child's gone wild!
Proctor: Mary, Mary!
Mary Warren: No, I love God; I go your way no more. I love God, I bless God. Abby, Abby, I'll never hurt you more!
Danforth: What are you? You are combined with anti-Christ, are you not? I have seen your power; you will not deny it! What say you, Mister?

Though we, the audience, are aware that the categories of “good” and “evil” have gotten terribly mixed up in this play, Mary is faced with a life-or-death situation. If she does what is really “good” she will die by those who hold the power and declare it “not good”; if she does what is wrong—if she lies—she joins those with power who declare that this is, indeed, good.

No wonder many people chose to confess and align with powerful forces. According to the play, young people in particular are susceptible to this weakness.

Gwen Johnston                    Text Proctor:                                    "But if she say she is pregnant, then she must be! That woman will never lie, Mr. Danforth."                      Response          There are many ways in which John Proctor's  personality can be seen when he says the line, "But if she say she is pregnant, then she must be! That woman will never lie, Mr. Danforth." John Proctor had 16 children and loved each one with his whole heart. Hearing his wife say she is pregnant increases his love for her and want to protect her. This evidence can be seen in the line, "That woman will never lie, Mr. Danforth." John may know Elizabeth is telling a lie to save her life and he will follow along with her plan out of love and fear that she could possible be killed if she goes into the witch trials. John loves his family and will do anything he can to protect her and his family from the trials.

Text: "Then go and tell her she's a 🤬. Whatever promise she may sense-break it, John, break it." (Miller, 59)

Response: In this quote on page 59 of, "The Crucible," Arthur Miller uses literary devices to reinforce ideas. Elizabeth says, "Break it, John, Break it" Miller uses repetition to allow the reader to imagine the desperation in Elizabeth voice. Miller also uses diction with the use of the word 🤬. Elizabeth is a Christian woman and Miller uses this to show the severity of the situation through diction.

Quote: Danforth: You are in all respects a Gospel Christian?
Proctor: I am sir.
Parris: Such a Christian that will not come to church but once in a month!
Danforth: Not come to church?
Proctor: I-I have no love for Mr. Parris. It is no secret. But God I surely love.
Cheever: He plow on Sunday, sir.
Danforth: Plow on Sunday!
(Miller 84)
Response: In this debate, clearly we can see that the court system is going against Proctor when all he is trying to do is tell the truth, even though it would expose Abigail. There is hardly any proof that will make anyone innocent. The court is the only power that Salem has and we can feel the power growing within Parris. Anyone that tries to defend themselves against witchcraft, or in Johns case expose the truth, will either be arrested or sentenced to hanging. However, I do believe in God and Sunday is the day God rested when creating this world. We should not really do work but sometimes we have to do what has to be done. The judges should be able to listen what the people have to say and not automatically assume there guilty just because they say they didn't have anything to do with the workings of the 🤬.

Quote: "No man may longer doubt the powers of the dark are gathered in monstrous attack up on this village. There is too much evidence now to deny it."(Hale 61)

Analysis: Hale thinks that there is a great evil in the village that is causing a lot of destruction in the minds of the people in Salem. But what Hale doesn't realize is that the real evil isn't witches and the 🤬, but it is the fear of the people of Salem. Their fear is why everything is turning to chaos. The real " Powers of the dark", are nothing more than people's fear and failure to trust one another, nothing demonic at all.

Quote: Martha Cory's Voice- “ I am innocent to a witch. I know not what a witch is.”

Response:

Martha Corey is the wife of Giles Corey, an old grouchy farmer/land owner. Earlier in the book, Giles told people that his wife read books, and when she is reading these books he is unable to pray and talk do god. In this quote, Martha, Giles, Hathorne, Danforth, Herrick and Parris are in a small room off of the courtroom discussing whether not Martha is a witch or not. The author of the book, Arthur Miller, purposefully told us that we were listening to her and the others talk while we were in the courtroom. Mr. Miller did an awesome job at allowing the reader to picture not only the conversation that was going on but also the room the conversation is in.

Quote: "Cheever embarrassed glancing toward the mantel where sits Mary Warren's poppet," I spy a poppet, Goody Proctor."

Analysis: "Cheever had to find anything witch related in the Proctor's house to get evidence against Elizabeth. Earlier as the quote says Mary gave Elizabeth a poppet. Elizabeth will fall because of the gift Mary gave her. I believe this relates to power as a theme, because Cheever has all the power when he walks into the Proctor's home. Mary and the judge had given it all to him when they said search their house, and Mary gave the poppet to Elizabeth.

Text: "No man may longer doubt the powers of the dark are gathered in monstrous attacks upon this village. There is too much evidence now to deny it." (Miller 92)

Analysis: In this quote, Hale thinks that evil forces will enter the town. This quote is important because the only thing that is bad to come is the townspeople going against each other rather than the 🤬 coming to the town. It also uses indirect characterization to show that Hale is a very religious man. Arthur Miller's uses the words, "monstrous attacks" in the quote which is a great use of diction. It is so because by using this, he shows the fear that Hale and everyone else has for the so called witches. Overall this quote shows that although the people of Salem think that the 🤬 will tear them apart, it will actually be themselves.

Quote: "You will not judge me more, Elizabeth, I have good reason to think before I charge fraud on Abigail, and I will think on it. Let you look to your own improvement before you go to judge your own husband before you go to judge your husband any more. I have forgot Abigail, and-"
Analysis: This part of conversation came from John Proctor. This shows how rocky the terms are in his relationship. We see Arthur Miller use language like, "You will not judge me more." This is in a warning tone by proctor. This shows that he is annoyed by his wife accusing him of being with Abigail. We know that he was, but Elizabeth Proctor does not know. This is a big part of the second act because we see how their relationship is falling apart but later is strengthened when John says he will fight for Elizabeth. (95 words)

Quote:  "Excellency, this child’s gone wild! ... I denounce these proceedings, I quit this court!” Reverend Hale (page 111)

At the end of act 3, Reverend Hale cries this statement before slamming the doors behind him and leaving the courthouse. This is a very important line that highlights a change in Hale's character that can be related to the theme of "The Crucible". When Hale first arrives in Salem, he believes in the witches and wants to hunt them down. After hearing Mary Warren's testimony, Proctor's causes, and Giles proof, he starts to understand what is happening. Hale can be seen as a dynamic character because his entire mindset changes at the end of act 3. Hale now starts to see the greed, hatred, and lust that defines the people of Salem. People in general will do anything to further their personal agenda. Reverend Hale "denounces" the court's credibility and now looks to save the people rather than God's name.

quote - "I will curse her hotter than the oldest cinder in 🤬, but pray, begrudge me not my anger."
Analysis - As most readers of The Crucible already know about Proctors mistake with Abby, this quote further informs us of his regret. Proctor wants to make Abby pay for his wife being accused, which is the equivalent of saying "I will curse her hotter than the oldest cinder in 🤬." He wants his wife, Elizabeth, to trust him and have faith in  him, even though it is hard for her to do so, knowing that her husband cheated on her. This also causes her to doubt Proctor when he says nothing is going on with him and Abby now, which keeps their relationship to be awkward and tense after several months of the affair.

Quote: "No more! I should have roared you down when you told me your suspicion. But I wilted, and like a christian, I confessed, confessed! Some dream I had must have mistaken you for God that day. But you're not, you're  not, and let you remember it! let you look sometimes for the goodness in me and judge me not."  (Miller 52)
Response: In this quote said by proctor to Elizabeth on page 52 of " The Crucible," shows that proctor desperately wanted forgiveness from his wife. Even if he earned it, she has trouble letting go of her hurt. I don't believe that Elizabeth or Proctor do not realize that Abby has the power dor both of them to be killed. Elizabeth still judges Proctor for committing adultry, because when he said " -She told it to me in a room alone- I have no proof of it," she immediately questioned him about it, even though the affair happened earlier that year.

Quote: "I cannot speak but I am doubted, every moment judged for lies. (Proctor 52)

Analysis: When proctor says this we find out there is tension building in their relationship. We get hints of this throughout the book like when Elizabeth says "she has lost all faith in him" page 51. This is a good use of diction because it gives us a clear understanding on how their relationship is. We also get a good use of irony when Hale asked John to recite the 10 commandments he forgets one that being "thou shall not commit adultery. This is very ironic because we find out in the act John cheats on his wife. (94 words)

Text: Elizabeth: “It is her dearest hope, John, I know it. There be a thousand names; why does she call mine? There be a certain danger in calling such a name- I am no Goody Good that sleeps in ditches, nor Osburn, drunk and half-witted. She’d dare not call out such a farmer’s wife, but there be monstrous profit in it. She thinks to take my place, John” (Miller 58)

Response: In this text the character Elizabeth is showing a great sense of fear and confusion. The author uses great diction to help with the tone, fear. For example using the word “ danger” in the quote, when referencing to Elizabeth's name being called. As a reader I feel like Elizabeth is in great danger when Abigail is near. I really liked how the author used comparison with the other characters, Goody Good and Osburn. This really helped me understand the suspicion of Abigail's callings. (79 words)

Text:
Elizabeth Proctor: "Help Mr. Proctor as you were his daughter... When the children wake, speak nothing of witchcraft-- it will frighten them." (Miller 73)
Response:
In this quote from, "The Crucible," Elizabeth Proctor is indirectly characterized through her own words. It shows how upright and truthful (honest) she is. In this quote from page 73 in the novel, "Help Mr. Proctor as you were his daughter--- you owe me that and much more..." (Miller 73), Elizabeth shows just how brave and straight-forward her personality is. It also reveals how caring she is throughout the story. She does not want the kids to be frightened, which infers that she cares for others. Knowing all of this about Elizabeth Proctor, readers may have a better understanding of why she acts the way she does towards certain situations. In peoples' everyday lives, having a personality like Goody Proctor can be both good and bad, depending on what has happened. This is exactly how Elizabeth's attitude is in the novel. (164 Words)

Quote/Excerpt: "I will not give you no name. I mentioned my wife's name once and I'll burn in 🤬 long enough for that. I stand mute."
Page 90
Analysis: Earlier in the play, when Mr. Hale first arrived in Salem, Giles said that his wife had been reading strange books, and that when she read, he couldn't pray. This suggested that his wife may be a witch. However, later in the play his wife is put on trial for this witchcraft, and he realizes that he has made a terrible mistake that could cost his wife her life. Giles now understands that he shouldn't have gotten caught up in the nonsense around witchcraft in Salem, and he acknowledges the mistakes he has made. When asked to accuse another man, he says "I mentioned my wife's name once and I'll burn in 🤬 long enough for that. I stand mute." He has a change of heart, and doesn't dare risk another innocent person's life like he did his wife's. (139 words)

Theme:: Power

Quote/Text:: "That bloody mongrel Walcott charge her. Y'see he buy a pig..." "...claims that from that day he can't keep a pig alive...because Martha bewitch..." (Giles)

~Giles, Pg. 68

Analysis::
~ In this small passage, said by Giles in The Crucible, it is a great example for the theme. Since the town of Salem has gone crazy at the time, many of the people use this chaos to gain an upper hand, or power, over their enemies. In this case, the man Walcott, has a bone to pick with Martha, Giles wife. She is a victim of his small vendetta against her. During this era, and during this time, the people are very close minded and easy to jump to conclusion of any small change in one person. So it is very easy for Walcott to charge Martha of witchcraft and have it possibly go through with the courts.

Quote: “I falter nothing, but I may wonder if my story will be credited in such a court. I do wonder on it, when such a steady-minded minister as you will suspicion such a woman that never lied, and cannot, and the world knows she cannot! I may falter somewhat, Mister; I am no fool.” (Miller, 65)

I think that this quote shows the fear and realization that Proctor had while his wife was being taken for court. Once he realizes that she could be hanged for something she didn’t do, he gets defensive and protective by saying, “I do wonder on it, when such a steady-minded minister as you will suspicion such a woman that never lied, and cannot, and the world knows she cannot!” Proctor wants everyone to see that Abigail is lying and just wants Elizabeth dead. The author, Arthur Miller, uses figurative language to emphasize what Proctor is thinking the moment his wife is being taken. At the beginning of the quote, Proctor says, “I falter nothing.” But at the end of the quote, he says, “I may falter somewhat.” The author uses the repetition and antithesis of “falter” to show that Proctor is nervous and angry and might not know what to say. I think that Proctors’ angry tone will get him and Elizabeth in trouble at court.
