I’m a proper girl!” (Miller 40) in this statement, Abigail is defending herself that she never sold herself to the devil. If Hale were to find out about her affair with Procter, he might be more apt to assume she did sell herself. So that is dangerous to her life because if they assume that she did in fact sell herself to the devil, she will be hung for
He was so quick to blow off the idea that witchcraft caused her sickness because he was too worried his reputation would get shot with that possibility. In the court while Mary was being questioned about fainting Paris was looking for the first chance to accuse her of witchcraft and he eagerly said, "Then you will confess, will you not?" Mary Warren had no relation to Paris therefore he would not hesitate to point his finger at her. Paris was like Danforth in that he also could not realize his hypocritical ways because of his
“Katherine has admitted it, confessed.” Katherine’s fear of losing her life motivated her to confess that her and a few others were telepathic. First she had a fear about her abilities being found out but then she had to fear her life if she did not tell the norms what was so different about her and why she was running away. “I’ve killed him Michael. He’s quite dead.” Rosalind’s fears lead her to kill a man, yet she felt so guilty about it, although they tortured many of her kind. She may have felt guilty as she thought the norms would find out that she killed the man and then they would kill her.
Granted, she plays no part in the political activism, but she does so much to ensure the quality of life of her sisters’ families. On the verge of insanity, she pulls herself together and says aloud to herself, “Courage! It was the first time she had used that word to herself and understood exactly what it meant” (Pg 199). At this moment, she finally realizes that her courage consisted of staying strong for herself and her family instead of selfishly running away. She no longer puts herself down for what she thought was cowardice in not joining her more active sisters in a fight for a greater cause.
She goes into a description of how love has let her down and she will not be strung along, this builds pathos and ethos because she gets herself out of the situation by leaving him. I think this is a strong argument because people’s emotions of someone being hurt tells them that cheating is an unacceptable behavior. These text
Even though Ismene didn’t help out with the crime she still wanted to risk her life for Antigone, but she wouldn’t let her because she didn’t do the work. Antigone wants to die for the right reason, that she did something right for someone else. But since Ismene didn’t do any of the crime she didn’t want her to die because she did something wrong. Antigone wanted Ismene to live and she descried to live she didn’t do anything wrong. I think Ismene changed her mid because Antigone is her sister and you always stand up for family.
Also it shows that the other girls as well as Marry Warren are scared of Abigail as they know that she is able to put the blame on anybody. Miller uses the power of fear to present Abigail as a powerful character as she uses it to control the other girls as they are frightened of her as she can get them killed. Miller uses the scene of the court room to emphasise this fear. The court room is a very powerful place and it is where people are judged to see if they are innocent or not. If they were innocent they would live and if they were found to be guilty they would be killed.
Her reasoning is because; women are reaching out to stop all the pain of being alone, and why they soon find out that was a mistake. This article has shown me what advertising does to women. It is very upsetting to see that kind of abuse happening every day. I would never want that to happen to me or anybody in my family. Works Cited Kilbourne, Jean.
That was the reason why Celia killed her master because she does not want to have a forced sexual intercourse with him. But Newsom does not want to let Celia go and she ended up killing her master. At this time period women are considered powerless, as for Celia, she basically does not have any rights or power to refuse her master because she is a chattel slave or a property of Newsom. “Then she bent down to examine him, “to see whether he was dead”. Her examination revealed that she had killed Newsom, and momentarily she panicked.
Instead of acting in a mature manner like an adult, she becomes hysterical and exaggerates, “...now here’s Mr. Bennet gone away, and I know he will fight Wickham, wherever he meets him, and then he will be killed, and what is to become of us all?” (192). The fact that she questions the fate of her family if anything should happen to her husband implies that even she is aware of her insufficient mothering. Additionally, her ability to ignore the real issues and magnify the trivial ones, as aforementioned, further glorifies her foolish character and ability to make
