John Proctor tried to keep his affair with Abigail from the court as long as possible until he pretty much had to break down and confess it. But instead of Abigail and the witch trials being exposed as a lie, Proctor is called a liar and then accused of witchcraft by the court. His sins being exposed destroyed him. THE CRUCIBLE is an excellent play that combines three basic ingredients for chaos. There wouldn't be any chaos without ideological insecurity, economic self-interest, and personal indiscretion throughout the characters.
This quote proves that he is really a Christian because he confesses his sins to God. It shows that he has strong convictions of his religion and he really believes. “Mary, God dams all liars" (Miller 263)! This quote shows that Proctor tries to get Mary to confess her sins because of his beliefs in God. He was trying to scare her to get the truth out of her.
Parris, Abigail causes the hysteria with her lies and accusations by falsely accusing people in the village of practicing witchcraft. She goes along with Tituba and gives names while Tituba is being stressed to reveal names of people who’s been involved with the devil “Tituba, rocking and weeping: Aye, sir, and Goody Osburn.”(Tituba). Abigail admits that she was involved with the devil and want to return to God. She does this because she wants attention and doesn’t want anyone to have suspicions of her. Abigail had an affair with John Proctor so she gives reveal his wifes name Elizabeth as one of the witches so she can be put to death with the other accused and Abigail can have John Proctor all to herself.
If someone decides to follow what The Torah suggests, death penalty would be the best option to follow. I don’t believe death would be the solution. A person might suggest that if a person killed someone, the murderer should be killed, as well because it is written on The Torah especially because the dead wasn’t “By act of God” (639); however, I would say that the death of the murderer would not give us the answer we might need to find peace for ourselves. This is why I would use “Compassion” to “share the characteristics of consciousness itself”(732). This seems to say that “Compassion” would help me to understand why the reasons of the murder to kill.
Shane Claiborne, writer of the Irresistible Revolution, is a man of great moral clarity and bravery. His actions and words speak for an alternative method of thinking. He preaches communal living, pacifism, and protesting against the norm in the world. Shane Claiborne leads a theologian lifestyle that promotes Christians to not live a radical anarchist lifestyle but to live radically in a counter culture way. Shane lives in poverty, chooses to spend his days with the poor, and ultimately serves his enemies.
When Proctor had to go to the court to get his wife out of being accused of upholding witchcraft he eventually confess to his sins he committed. Talking to Danforth, Proctors says “I lusted, and there is a promise in such sweet. But it is a whore’s vengeance, and you must see it; I set myself entirely in your hands” (page 49 act three) confessing to the crime he did. He realizes what he did was wrong which was why he tried to hide it for so long. But the only way for
Martin Luther King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail” attempts to justify the need for nonviolent direct action, and how both King and the Clergymen should work together to find a solution. King wanted to find common ground with the clergymen. King tried to convince the clergymen to see his point of view, and realized and attempt the problem as a problem, not just a disturbance. He found common ground through beliefs in which they all believed and feelings that they all felt. King used a very strong quote that stated, “ An unjust law is no law at all.” This quote was from a great Christian philosopher and king knew the clergymen couldn’t ignore the words of such a wise man.
THE CRUCIBLE. Throughout the crucible the pressures of social conformity cause the characters to make decisions that push them into denying their own personal beliefs, which are not socially accepted in Salem and results in lies and deceit. Perhaps the most prominent theme in the crucible is the importance of a good name, and the people of Salem are more than prepared to go to great lengths to protect their reputations. The Crucible takes place during the times of the Salem witch trials in Massachusetts. The Salem witch trials were a series of hearings before local magistrates that were followed by court trials to prosecute people accused of witchcraft.
Physician assisted suicide should not be legalized for the simple fact many would give up and take the easy way out. There is currently a pervasive assumption that if assisted suicide and/or voluntary euthanasia (AS/VE) were to legalized, then doctors would take responsibility for making the decision that these interventions were indicated, for prescribing the medication, and (in euthanasia) for administering it .Richard Huxable remarks “that homicide law encompasses various crimes, so prosecutors can choose charges to suit the circumstances. Yet one thing is clear: mercy killing is still killing, equally, murder is murder” Physician assisted suicide is nothing more than cold blooded
He was unnamed because he lacks his own identity. Towards the end, he said “the protruding eyes of the biggest, which was still alive, seemed to glare at me--- and then they become the eyes of the witch”. He, himself, got confused whether it was the witch’s power or he was just affected by the stories around him. In this case, the author, Tiempo, was successful in creating a complex character that will make the readers decide whether to believe in such folklore or not. Minggay Awok was portrayed as the main antagonist in the story.
