The already skimpy amount of crop production, due to the dusty droughts, became even skimpier as the grasshoppers endlessly and thoughtlessly devoured them hungrily, according to Walter (“Dealing with Grasshoppers”). With this investigation, it has been determined that the “dark clouds” of grasshoppers worsened the Dust Bowl conditions and increased discomfort in every way possible during the era of the Great Depression. Summary of Evidence The grasshoppers arrived during the Dust Bowl days, to add “insult to injury”. (“Life in Western Kansas”) If any light was accidentally visible through the dusty clouds,
Guilt "God, as a direct consequence of the sin which man thus punished, had given her a lovely child, whose place was on that same dishonored bosom, to connect her parent for ever with the race and descent of mortals, and to be finally a blessed soul in Heaven! Yet these thoughts affected Hester Prynne less with hope than apprehension. She knew that her deed had been evil; she could have no faith, therefore, that its result would be for good. Day after day, she looked fearfully into the child’s expanding nature; ever dreading to detect some dark arid wild peculiarity, that should correspond with the guiltiness to which she owed her being" (Hawthorne, 86). Hawthorne describes Hester's guilt concerning Pearl's future.
The chief principle to The Poisonwood Bible is the copious amount of plant and animal life utilized to push the characters forward. Particularly evident is the character development redeemed from using flora and fauna in the story, such as when Adah is attempting to escape the rampage of massive ants, she thinks, “Only my mother stood still. There she was, planted before me in the path, rising on thin legs out of the rootless devouring earth. In her arms, crosswise like a load of kindling, Ruth May. I spoke out loud, the only time: help me.”(Adah 305).

The character that was selfish enough to take people’s lives for her desires; the character that ruined that “perfect little ending” not only for others, but for herself as well. On the other hand, feelings of awe developed when coming across the innocent individual that exhorted many admirable virtues. The great foil that was unfolded between these two characters was evidently shown through actions, speech, and background details and helped to distinctively separate the two contrasting feelings that were developed towards both characters. The Crucible is filled with an ongoing battle between the forces of good and evil and how they pertain to two very drastically different characters, Elizabeth Proctor and Abigail Williams. In the analysis of characters and how they complement one another, Elizabeth Proctor happened to be the innocent little farmer’s wife.. She was on an emotional roller coaster throughout the entire play because she was still in the process of healing.
Miller portrays the start of her vengeful needs through an intimate love and hate scene between the two characters, resulting in Proctor disowning their previous relationship: “Abby, I [Proctor] may think of you softly from time to time, but I will cut off my own hand before I’ll ever reach for you again… we never touched, Abby.” Proctor rejects any attempted reconnections with Abigail, implying he is committed to his wife, Elizabeth. This honesty from Proctor, whom she revered and adored, pains her in ways she cannot comprehend, leaving her cold and merciless as she attempts to shield herself from the unbearable scars Proctor left her. Miller’s use of “cut of my own hand” reveals Proctor’s emotions during the scene: exhaustive and slightly guilty. However, he feels frightened by Abigail intense pressure to make him hers, and

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.
These are innocent people who are being hung because they won’t confess to witchcraft, something they really didn’t do. As these innocent people are being pushed off, the look in Abigail’s face is very disturbing. It is almost a look of satisfaction. One can really see how evil Abigail is becoming; it also becomes very obvious at this point that Abigail is the antagonist of the play. She knows that these people are being hung on her part, yet the look on her face shows no remorse or guilt but rather satisfaction.
