Act 4 Reader’s Response When I began reading act four of The Crucible, I hadn’t developed strong feelings, positive or negative, about any characters. There were certain people I didn’t necessarily like throughout the first three acts, but there was never a point when I became extremely frustrated with any of them. In this act, that wasn’t the case. Deputy Governor Danforth proved to me as act four progressed that he wasn’t concerned for the people of Salem, he was concerned about not allowing himself, the government or his God look weak. I discovered how his reputation became more important to him than standing up to the hysteria and saving innocent lives.
Good afternoon teachers and fellow peers, In order to achieve their own personal and communal ambitions, figures in society manipulate and persuade people through events and situations to conform to their own political agenda. In the 1955 prescribed text, “The Crucible,” playwright Arthur Miller establishes the exploitative behaviour of characters through dramatised staging features. Similarly in the 1964 related text, “The Times They are A-Changin’,” Bob Dylan insights individual ambitions through musical and poetic devices. The shared ideas of the modernist era such as the significance of religion and political hegemony are investigated by both composers in their perspective texts.
The Crucible remains important in society today because the hysteria portrayed in the Salem Witch Trials has potential to corrupt our society/America like it did back then. All it takes is just one lie to create chaos and even the lives of others ripped from their hands. In the Crucible it all started because of Abigail, she was out in the woods dancing, doing witchcraft, and drinking blood. She did all this trying to cast a spell on Proctor 's wife Elizabeth. And she threatens the girls that were there during the dancing that if they go against her story and say more than what they are supposed to she will make them regret everything and say they are lying and no one would believe them.
