He shows courage in many aspect in Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. One way Giles shows it is by speaking out against Rev. Parris. Also is by showing the court Putnam was only doing it for land. He also shows courage by dying and not giving up the name and keeping his promise.
As a result, the key for the survival of individuality lies in how conformist the people are ready and willing to become. Freedom of imagination and speech is a double edged sword: if an individual freely chooses to believe everything he is told, be it out of conformism, lack of education or both, eventually he no longer possesses individual freedom. If this becomes common norm, it is easy for social organization to become exploited, corrupted and eventually regimented. Thus, an individual must be taught to question everything he sees or reads and never take anything for granted. Despite what captain Beatty says, it is certainly better to be free and melancholic than oppressed and
Although the mass corruption in the town, John Proctor remained true to his self. Proctor stands strong in his beliefs and was not going to let Abigail Williams destroy his wife. It is a shame for someone with great characteristics, such as; honesty, braveness, and loyalty, to be killed, because he wouldn’t confess to witchcraft that he didn’t
In this essay I will explore the ways Shakespeare and Browning portray a range of disturbed characters throughout their literature. It is vital to remember that Shakespeare’s audience (in the 1600s ) and Browning's audience (in the 1800s) would have been highly intrigued by plays that involve the concept of 'witchcraft' and many other notions that raise suspicion. Likewise the modern contemporary audience who would be fascinated and aroused, embracing the characters motions and ambitions. On the other hand Shakespeare's and Browning's audience were more interested but fearful of the 'unknown'. In their day and age these characters would be judged by many factors including social and cultural backgrounds, crimes committed and personal traits.
In Source A, Gatto begins by asking his audience a profound question, “Do we really need school?” Of course, this may sound impractical; however, he does not mean that kids should not get an education. State education and student individuality are what cause much tension in public schools. It is in the schools’ best interest to balance these ideas and not lean towards only one, and not have a school only based on conformity or individuality, but a school that balances both of these. There are mandatory classes that are set as a basic system so as to have standard classes for everyone, since everyone must learn the same things, i.e. math, reading, and science.
When Betty and Mary Warren start to get scared and want to tell the adults about their doing, Abigail threatens them: “Now look you… I will come to you in the black of some terrible night… bring a reckoning that will shudder you… I can make you wish you had never seen the sun go down” (Miller 20). This quote tells us that Abigail is showing who is in charge. She has no power at first, but then becomes empowered over the group of girls and maintains that power over them through fear and threats. Abigail, who was once powerless, now has the power to take control of her peers by threatening them to do her
Okonkwo's one and only weakness was his fear of becoming a failure like his father. This fear drove Okonkwo to embrace the values of manliness and fueled his desire to be strong; which then drove him to rashness and in the end contributed to his death. Accepting the ways of manhood isn’t a sign of weaknesses, the problem is how narrowly he defines it. Okonkwo was part of a patriarchal society and the male gender was already established with great authority. For Okonkwo, however, any kind of softness and tenderness was a sign of weakness.
The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs". This is one thing that kept Bozella going,he knew he was not a coward. Bozella was not only a man with a lot of hope but he also had perseverance.

Conflict Management and Resolution: The Most significant Concept Shellie Roberts CMM510 Sullivan University Sept 01, 2012 Abstract There is nothing more common than Conflict. Generally conflict results from different perspectives on in issue or situation, different beliefs or values based on one’s life experiences or up brining, and different interests or objectives. In order to effectively deal with conflict it is important to hear from all parties involved, both where they are now and where they would like to be. Without this information you will never successfully move forward in resolving a conflict situation. This paper will discuss the various concepts in analyzing conflicts and the concept that I feel is the most important in reaching a resolution a conflict.
The most important conclusion Shakespeare has drawn about the nature of humanity in King Lear is the fact that evil is not something the gods have cursed you with at birth but it is something that you choose for yourselfACt . The contrast he uses shows us that Edmoud had everything he needed to be good, he had the look and he had the attitude , but ultimately he chose to wrong path, he was blinded by power and his need to be treated as an equal. Later in that scene [165] after his brother is wounded Edgar affirms his belief that the gods play no hand in the evilness of the world through his dialogue “The gods are just, and of our pleasant vices make instruments to plague us” he states that the gods are fair and only punish us with our own wrong doings, even Edmoud agrees with him. Edmonds good side does make an appearance, towards the end of act 5 scene 3, “ Despite of mine own nature. Quickly send – be brief in it – to th’castle; for my wit is on the life of Lear and Cordelia” , in this remorseful dialogue Edmond`
