Miller’s purpose for setting this scene in a jail cell is to set the mood of Act Four. Miller describes the cell as. “The place is in darkness but for the moonlight seeping through the bars. It appears empty.” (121), to convey the sense of gloominess that rolls into the town.
Breeze desperately wants to solve this murder case and he will do anything to place the blame on someone. One night, Breeze and his partner, Spangler, decide to give Marlowe a visit. Although Marlowe does not invite them into his apartment, they come in anyways and start snooping around. They have no warrant and could get in a lot of trouble if they get caught.

From the story The Crucible there were a few characters that lied to get out of trouble. They lied because they did not want to get whipped or hung. Tituba, Abigail and Betty were the 3 main characters that lied to get out of trouble they were in. Tituba was the first, she was questioned after she was caught swaying in front of a fire singing her Barbados songs in the woods at night. That was a form of witchcraft so she was sentenced to be whipped or hung.
Reverend Parris is the father of Betty Parris and the Uncle to Abigail Williams. In the opening scene, he catches both girls, including some others dancing in the woods. This was very forbidden during this time because of the threat of witchcraft. The next day Betty starts acting very strange and they start to assume it’s witchcraft. Especially once they question Tituba and she admits to being a witch.
Since the beginning of time people have gone through trials in court to either be proven innocent or guilty. In the Crucible by Arthur Miller a massive number of people were being convicted in Salem, Massachusetts because of the witch trials. The law of the land states that everyone is above suspicion until they are demonstrated to be guilty by legitimate evidence; in the play the Crucible if a person was accused of an unlawful act they were summons for being a witch and working for the devil without proper confirmation. Citizens in Salem were imposed to establish their innocent or be put to death, which caused conflicting issues in the village.
The three stories I will be using are, “The Crucible”, “Animal Farm”, and “The Devil and Tom Walker” because they have really good, clear villains in them. “The Crucible” has too many villains to pick from but the main and most important villain is depicted as a small body, pale, young girl named Abigail Williams. She pretends to be poisoned by witch craft but is really a fake that brings at least a dozen more people into the unfortunate events called “The Salem witch trials”. She continually tells lies throwing people more dirt on innocent people that caused them to be hanged. She first deceives with her lips and then with her actions.
“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt. This inspirational quote by Franklin D. Roosevelt can be related to the power of fear, which can be seen within the play, The Crucible by Arthur Miller. The intensity of the feeling of fear is very much based on personal opinions towards certain things.
All over the world fear is controlled by many different factors. Whether it is social media, literature, or power. In The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, fear is used to control others as it is today. Social Media is a great example of controlling others using their fear. Embarrassment and exposure can come from social media.
Fullmer 1 Undoubtedly children in The Crucible have a very defining aspect of one of the major themes in the novel, innocence vs guilt. In Salem, everything and anything either belongs to God or the Devil and who is more innocent in the eyes of God than a child? Childlike behavior is associated with innocence and this apparent innocence is what kept many of the children in Salem protected during the witch trials. The symbolism of innocence relating to the children, the voice that children are given in The Crucible compared to the other people who lack the ability to defend themselves because they are considered to be less credible, and why children are represented the way they are and how their representation contrasts other characters in the novel are all important elements to the novel as a whole.
What if you were falsely accused for doing something you never did? Worse yet, the judge ends up believing the “victim” because you cannot present evidence that would prove your innocence. You would most likely end up in jail for a while, but at least you still have a chance to prove the accusation false. However, in The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, characters that were accused of witchcraft did not receive that same opportunity. They faced a worse fate than spending months in jail; they got death.
In the Crucible, we see the presence of the crime of witchcraft. Arthur Miller based his play on the events of the Red Scare, which happened in the 1950s.

In Salem, residents were blamed for an invisible crime.

In the story, “The Merchant of Venice,” there is a character named Shylock. Shylock is a Jewish citizen who lives in Venice, a place where Jewish people are one of the lowest class of citizens. This piece by Shakespeare creates this controversial character that can be viewed as a villain or victim. In this play, through the archetypal lense, we can see that Shylock is a villain because of his hatred and his desire for revenge. Some people may see Shylock as a victim because during the time period in which the story is wrote, jewish people were treated like animals and given nearly no rights or role in society.
