Some forms of belief and faith in the two texts are:
Religion in its various forms
Other people?
Legal system
Superstition]]> 2017-07-31 03:33:32 UTC https://padlet.com/cds3/BeliefAndFaith/wish/179740173 james71722 https://padlet.com/cds3/BeliefAndFaith/wish/179740452 In year of wonders, it is set in 1665 and 1666. Whereas The Crucible is set in 1692. In terms of belief and faith, both societies are placed in a world full of belief to god. In the Crucible in particular, it is a puritan society, and therefore its society seeks a perfect community with no ill-intent. Yet, In Year of Wonders, it is almost the polar opposite. With many of the elements of society being torn apart by the notion of disbelief as a result of the plague. We see this as even Mr Mompellion relates the plague as a 'test from god'.]]> 2017-07-31 03:38:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cds3/BeliefAndFaith/wish/179740452 danielpham1234 https://padlet.com/cds3/BeliefAndFaith/wish/179740692 In both Year of Wonders and The Crucible, the crises put the characters' faith to the test. There are a variety of ways that the characters deal with the challenge to their beliefs, some characters come to realise the flaws in their ways whilst others stubbornly hold on to their beliefs.

Anna - Faith is challenged and she discards it
Mompellion - faith is challenged and is left a broken man

Proctor - Faith in god but not in Parris
Hale - belief in witches initially however comes to realise his errors but is left a broken man
Danforth - unwavering faith in himself/legal 
Parris - only uses faith to gain material wealth

With Hale and Mompellion, they are left as broken men because their faith, which they have imposed onto others, have turned out to be disastrous to their respective societies]]> 2017-07-31 03:43:19 UTC https://padlet.com/cds3/BeliefAndFaith/wish/179740692 james71722 https://padlet.com/cds3/BeliefAndFaith/wish/179740999 The Crucible makes use of stage directions in order to showcase and portrayals of the characters in different lights. For instance there is a scene in Act Three where Abigail reaches out towards Mary Warren, and then looks up to Danforth. [They all watch, as ABIGAIL, our of her INFINITE CHARITY, reaches out and draws the sobbing Mary to her, and then looks up to Danforth]. In essence, this does not only depict that Abigail has successfully tricked the court and Danforth. It declares that Abigail had faith in Mary Warren to not understand the situation that she was in. She had to believe/have faith in Mary Warren and her naive persona in order to get out being accused.

In Year of Wonders, the story is assembled using first person narrative. As a result, we see many things from Anna's point of view, we can see her interest in the natural world at a personal level. In many senses, due to the plague flooding , and with the countless corpses filling the empty streets, Anna has no other place to turn to other than her passions in herbalism and nature. She places her belief and faith in it, partly due to its medical benefits, but mostly due to her believing tht it is really Eyam's only chance of survival. Whats interesting is that, Anna herself does not contract the plague throughout the whole novel, suggesting that maybe she is holy or saint-like]]> 2017-07-31 03:49:13 UTC https://padlet.com/cds3/BeliefAndFaith/wish/179740999
