The Crucible Act 2 Scene 2 Analysis

In the crucible there has been a character and or characters that were afraid to admit they were wrong. In certain situations I have gone through the same situation before, so I can relate to that. First, with the crucible, Rev. John Hale would be afraid to admit that he was wrong. John Hale is a witch expert from Beverly, he comes to Salem to check out what is going on as far as witchcraft. He thinks he knows everything and is very arrogant about it. He has not seen anything like this before. Things are happening in Salem such as people going into a coma, and people going against each other.

Elizabeth sits by the window. Her chair is turned away from the rising sun. She sits still.

During Act 2, many occurrences happened. One in particular took my attention with a bit more force than some of the other content. According to the text, “… But not Sarah Good. For Sarah Good confessed, y’see. I hear a voice, a screamin’ voice, and it were my voice-and at all at once I remembered everything she done to me” (Miller 60)! This quote shows that this woman, Sarah Good, did something to Mary Warren that made her traumatized and afraid. According to the text, “… ‘Sarah Good,’ says he, ‘what curse did you mumble that this girl must fall sick after turning you away’” (Miller 61)? This quote demonstrates the acts Sarah did to Mary. I connected to this scene by remembering an old show that recently aired called Merlin.

In Act II, we see quite a bit going on, and it seems to be the climax of the story. We see Torvald belittle women once again when he says " is it to get about now that the new manager has changed his mind at his wife's bidding." We learn that Torvald expedited Krogstad's dismissal, and thus we see Nora acting really out of sorts as she tries harder and harder to maker sure Torvald never learns her secret- even going as far as to pretend she has no clue how to do the Tarantella to stop Torvald from reading the letter that Krogstad left. Finally, the Act leaves us with Nora stating "Thirty-One" hours to live- so us as readers are left wanting to know- is she going to commit suicide? Will Krogstad kill her? Or is it hypothetical- that she believes

Act 3 takes place in the church, which had been turned into a courtroom for the witch trials. Mary testified that they were only pretending to be afflicted by the witchcraft. Proctor was questioned about his religious beliefs. Judge Danforth arrested Giles for not giving him the name of the man who gave him information on the witchcraft, because he didn’t want to give away Putnam. Abigail was then sent on trial, and denied Mary’s testimony. The girls accused Mary of bewitching them with a cold wind and that she was responsible of the witchcraft. When Abigail accused Mary, Proctor called Abigail a whore and confessed his affair with her. He explained that Elizabeth fired her when she discovered it. He claimed that Abigail wanted Elizabeth to

The school day finished without a further peep from Gideon, to Judy’s surprise. She bid Angie a good-bye as the ocelot was picked up by her parents. Judy smiled, as her best friend climbed into the back seat, waving to her all the way to the end of the lot. Judy was about to make her way to the car until a large paw grabbed her mouth and made is so she couldn’t scream, another went around her waist picking her up. She was thrown again a metal pole, what she presumed to be the tetherball pole that was for gym class.

Sunday after church, James tossed the car key to Henry and told him to drive Mother and me home. Henry’s eyes beamed. He’d been able to drive for a while, but Daddy had never let him use the car, and James had done all the driving since Daddy passed. Henry had complained often, but James would shake his head and tell him he wasn’t ready. I wondered what had suddenly changed.

During his trial, the Yankee makes a false claim that the man he assaulted struck him first, and that he was only trying to defend himself. When he returned to his quarters, he found his master's body dead on the floor. He soon found out that the king had escaped, and so his master began beating the other slaves and they revolted against him. All the slaves were sentenced to death, and in an effort to save himself and the king, the Yankee contacted Clarence. Clarence then sent a rescue team to London.

Chapters 13-18 Lenina’s crush for John is increasing and it is slowly becoming uncontrollable for her. Her crush on John comes to the point that she feels obligated to go ask John out (Huxley 189) After the date is over Lenina tries to force John to have a sexual relationship with her. She does not succeed at getting his attention. John then lashes out at Lenina for trying to do something he did not want to do (Huxley 194). Shortly after John receives a phone call from the hospital. It is about his mother declining health. So, John rushes to the hospital to visit with his mother (Huxley 195-201) When he first arrives the nurses are shocked to see that someone wants to visit a person dying, but they allow it anyway. Then he tries to wake his mother up by shaking her, but was unsuccessful at it, because his mother died shortly after (Huxley 207).

George: O.K….O.K., whatever you say... (They both sit on the couch. He tries to kiss her. She moves away) Look, we’ve had a nice evening: let’s not spoil it, huh?...

In the Crucible, Act 2, Scene 2 was deleted from the play because it went against what Arthur Miller wanted Abigail and Proctor to Portray, Abigail a villain and Proctor a likable character. Even Though, this scene was important because it showed the character development of Abigail Williams. The Scene shows Abigail as her true self, a crazy, lunatic that has a bad mental problem. Also, Scene 2 makes proctor look like a horrendous person who did not just have an affair with a girl much younger than him, but an affair with a girl who has mental issues. In addition, the act hints too many things about what is going to happen next like how she is going to “save” proctor and how proctor is going to make Abigail “famous for the whore” she is and

When Act II Scene III first started, it was all good vibes. Everyone was laughing and extremely happy. Ruth was excited to move into the new house so she can run herself a nice, warm bath. Then, Walter and Ruth went out on a date to the movies for the first time in awhile. After that, Walter and Travis got Mama a gift each to show their appreciation towards her, “It is the first present in her life without its being Christmas” (Hansberry 123) so it meant a lot to Mama. Walter also came home with a large package. But towards the end of the scene, everyone’s mood switches up to become intensely upsetting. First Linder came over basically telling them to get out and that they are not wanted, although it did not greatly affect them, this is what

Act III of The Crucible should be underlined marks the main issues developed that lead to the character’s demise. The people are gathered in court, disputing innocence or guiltiness. The accused are to suffer unjust fates although they are innocent and virtuous. Many factors affect the outcome of Salem’s future, but struggles for power and ego shown by Deputy Governor Danforth and Parris cause injustice to prevail.

In act 4 John finds out that Giles has been pressed to death because he didn’t confess of being a witch. Elizabeth asks John to confess so he doesn’t get hanged or pressed to death. After a while John agrees to confess, the people in the court comes in and starts to ask him questions once he confessed they asked him to out his sign the paper so they have proof that he did, but John didn’t want to sign it. The main reason John doesn’t want to sign the paper is because he knew they would hang the paper in front of the church and everyone would see.

Act one, scene one: Troy and his best friend Bono, are drinking on a friday after work. In this scene the audience can get an idea of how close they are and gather information between their conversation. Throughout their conversation, Bono eventually ask about Troy’s affair with Alberta who he has buying drinks and walking near her house. Troy eventually reveals his secret which causes one of the plot elements in the play. Another significance of the opening scene is when Troy forbids Cory from playing football and going to college. Their relationship falls furthermore where Cory ends up making a huge decision in his life.
