In Act One of The Crucible, Arthur Miller uses an omniscient overture to reinforce the secrecy of something “no hint of [which] has yet appeared on the surface” – that John Proctor, “respected and even feared in Salem, has come to regard himself as a fraud.” The next scene reveals the source of this dramatic loss of self-respect – Proctor has committed adultery with Abigail Williams, his former servant girl. This infidelity has resulted in Proctor no longer identifying with the honest reputation of his former self, a man who had a “sharp and biting way with hypocrites”, having effectively become one himself by violating the moral code impressed and instilled in him by his upbringing and surrounding culture. With no judgment coming from the ignorant Salem, and grudging forgiveness from his wife Elizabeth, Proctor is left to judge himself, as described by Elizabeth in Act II – “The magistrate sits in your heart that judges you.” Thus the Proctor first introduced to the audience possesses an extremely limited, if not
Othello and Desdemona’s marriage is sabotaged by Iago’s deceit, which in the end succeeds in deteriorating Othello’s mentality to the point that he murders his own wife Desdemona despite her innocence. Iago’s malignant, misogynistic persona is unveiled in his Soliloquy when he declares “I hate the Moor”. His resentment in Othello and women as well as his inner torment is seen when he envisions to “…make the net that shall enmesh them all” leading to the act of evil, Iago also claims that he had “Never found a man who knew how to love himself,” which further emphasises and suggests his narcissistic and misogynistic personality. Despite being a flawed character himself Iago highlights the flaws in other characters and exploits them for his own desires. Othello, despite his noble characteristics and valiant conduct, is shown to have weaknesses vulnerable to Iago’s hidden agenda.
"Boyce talks of the jealousy and hate that drives Iago to deceive the moor to "show how a noble man can lose faith and go in a frenzy caused by the loss of trust." (Boyce 570). Othello is tricked into believing all the wrong things which causes him to lose his sanity. Over his web article critic Christopher Baker says that Iago's only reason for all of his evil plans to infect Othellos mind with lies were because he wanted revenge for not being promoted. He thinks that all the tragedy that takes place "shows the true means of physcological derangement."
A monk is supposed to have a strong authority in the Church, but Chaucer explains that he breaks the written laws and precedents set by people recognized as Saints and highly acclaimed people. The Monk is a lazy, disgusting man who lived a dishonest and imprudent life. The Pardoner and Summoner appear together in "The Prologue." They further illustrate an example of Chaucer's awareness of a defiled Church. Chaucer provides humor to his description of the Summoner in that "he'd allow ?
Some argue that evil is a choice for human beings. “God did not create the world in the state in which it is now, but evil came as a result of the selfishness of man” (http://www.bethinking.org/suffering/introductory/q-why-does-god-allow-evil-to-exist.htm). For instance, a person could murder his kins for a piece of land they disagree on its ownership. People are also capable to do much evil actions due to their selfishness; such as a man depriving his sister from inheritance. Another example on humans’ selfishness is a man cheating on his wife to satisfy his desires.
Analysis The Summoner becomes insane with anger upon hearing the Friar's Tale, which, although it was told with great vitriol against summoners, had a measured manner and refrained from personal attacks. Where the Friar was intensely contemptuous yet civil, the Summoner becomes a brutish and ill-tempered barbarian. Rather than combating the image that Friar's Tale had given of his profession, the Summoner confirms the worst about the low qualities of his kind. The Summoner's Tale: A friar went to preach and beg in a marshy region of Yorkshire called Holderness. In his sermons he begged for donations for the church and afterward he begged for charity from the local residents.
