Elizabeth Proctor utilizes critical rhetorical devices including tone, logos, and pathos throughout Arthur Miller's The Crucible to argue that she is innocent of witchcraft.
After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Americans were fearful of further Japanese attacks on the West Coast and also of Japanese Americans. In response to this fear, President Roosevelt passed an executive order relocating all people of Japanese descent from the West Coast inland. Similar to the fear of the American people, the witch hunts in the novel The Crucible by Arthur Miller led people to believe that girls in the town were being bewitched.

“Character Analysis over The Crucible” Arthur Miller is a commonly-known playwright, most famous for his 1953 play, The Crucible. The basis for The Crucible came from the witch trials which occurred in Salem, Massachusetts during the puritan era. Miller even uses some of the same characters in his dramatized play that were a part of the original witch trials in Salem.

This strong quote relating to the absence of God mirrors the absence of God in the hearts of those killing innocent lives. It begs the question, “Was God not there or did the sovereign One allow it to happen?” The same question is asked today after each unexplainable tragedy when innocent lives are taken at the hand of another. The answer lies
Although, many people that were condemned weren’t actually apart of the Communist Party, (under McCarthyism around 1950-1954) they got blacklisted or lost their jobs. This social injustice is also portrayed in The Crucible as its characters face the Salem Witch Trials. Arthur Miller wrote The Crucible as his own reaction to the injustice of McCarthyism. Miller’s purpose was to show how people accused each other with false denunciations because of their fear, jealousy and solely hatred of one another under McCarthyism.
Self-Preservation Can Lead to Self-Destruction In today’s society, a person’s reputation plays a huge part in how one is viewed and treated.

The Crucible, by Arthur Miller Discuss Proctor’s nihilism or desire for destruction. Where does it come from and how does he escape from it to find his “goodness” in the end? It seems fairly pertinent to argue that the character of John Proctor in Arthur Miller’s The Crucible is characterized by a progressively developing nihilism, which follows a cumulative trajectory, and which he ultimately achieves to escape when he is presented with the opportunity of reinstating his “goodness” of character. John Proctor’s desire for destruction or death drive derives from two components, his own personal affairs, and public, communitarian ones, which at some point converge.
The Crucible depicts social conflict, loyalty, and the complex struggle for personal identity against the culture of fear and accusation.

The Crucible, effectively uses diction to convey intense
Literature is a wonderful thing; it explores the relationships between humans and their nature, historical events, and can be used to express one’s creativity. It can also be used to give moral guidance; this was Arthur Miller’s reasoning behind writing The Crucible. In this dramatic retelling of the Salem trials, Miller ensnares his reader with stories of adultery, betrayal, and material greed. His intention, however, is not to entertain with operatic drama. This play is a cautionary tale about finger pointing and its potentially fatal consequences.
The last theory is Aristotle’s virtue ethics which states that we should move from the concern towards good action and to focus on the concern with good character. This paper argues that Aristotle’s virtue ethics is better than the other ethical theories. The divine command theory says that what is morally right and what is morally wrong is determined by God and God alone.
