We danced. And Tituba conjured Ruth Putnam’s dead sisters. And that Is all. And mark this. Let either of you breathe a word, or the edge of a word, about the other things, and I will come to you in the black of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you…”(20).
I’m sure of one thing, that anger of hers won’t die down until someone’s felt the force of her thunderbolt. I pray her victims are enemies, not those who love her!” Medea is infamous for her acts of deceit within her
She is aware of the fact that many people are uncomfortable with the word “cripple”, but “wants them to wince”. Only she knows all the ways having MS has affected her and believes that “cripple” is the best word to describe her because it is “straightforward and precise”. She believes other words such as “disabled” and “handicapped” “move away from [her] condition”. Though she is not exactly lucky to have the condition she has she wants to be seen as someone “who can face the brutal truth of her existence squarely”. She has lost full use of her limbs and “refuses to…deny that [she has] lost anything” while having her disease.
She often exprienced "periods of unhappiness and questioning the loyalty of her friends" witch became her motivation to really begin writing. She talks about death and anti-love in many of her stories. That became her niche, and she used that to her advantage. Both authors seem to write about diffrent topics but try to reach the same audience
As early as Scene one, we learn of the motives behind Abigail’s actions as she tries to get the girls to agree on a story to protect herself. She uses the threat of violence and their belief that she might know some real witchcraft, to keep them in line, “Let either of you breath a word, or the edge of a word, about the other things, and I will come to you in the black of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you... i can make you wish you had never seen the sun come
She despoils him not only of two children, but also of a wife, a father-in-law, and a kingdom. For all her stoicalness, though, she has one weakness, and it happens to be the focus of all her malice: Jason. Other persons matter not to her; any emotions she may feel for them are fleeting. Despite this, Jason, of all the individuals in the world, has managed to cultivate in Medea an enmity so overwhelming that she spends every waking moment devising new means with which to enact her sick justice. Nora Helmer is the very epitome of a reprobate in Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House.
This is evident in the story, because Zeus is afraid of the mortals, who could potentially overthrow Zeus. Campbell’s theory of archetypes being present in all stories is especially true, to a certain extent, as shown with fire, and intellect. It portrays an archetype evident it almost any story that has to do with intellect. This is also true with the woman, in almost every story, women seem to represent evil, as an archetype, not only in this creation story but the story of Jason, Perseus, and even evident in the Bible-Samson & Delilah. They are seen to evil by representing curiosity, in this case or for self-centered causes.
Now from those brief descriptions we can already see the difference in the characterization of all three characters. Although Abigail’s character appears to be one that is instantly dislikeable because of her selfish ways, she is by no means stupid. She knows how to manipulate other people into acting the way that she wants them to act and her control over them is what makes her an effective antagonist. Mrs. Putnam on the other hand appears not to have been as well educated as Abigail. She instantly jumps to the conclusion that witchcraft is afoot, which is apparent when she states “Mark it for a sign, mark it!” when Betty thrashes in her “trance.” She is also paranoid by the fact that there must be some paranormal reason as to why her babies have perished.
The other teachers think little of them and little of her because she's trying to help them. The students are very rude and disrespectful towards her , she doesn't give up . She finds a way to see through all the negativity and keep trying. Wether it was her husbands filing for a divorce or the students not caring about school whatever the case was it didn't stop her. Mrs.Gruwell was a very determined teacher.
Abigail has made bad choice’s in her life such as when she said “I will come to you in the black of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you... I can make you wish you never seen the sun go down!” While working with John Proctor she became attracted to him, he was an older man and with her being at such a young age she
