THE CRUCIBLE
Which one should i pick to write a 2-3 essay on?
1-The word crucible means a container for melting or purifying metals and severe test. Explain how and why these meanings are appropriate for the characters and action of Miller's play.
2-Some have claimed that the Crucible's characters are only "mouthpieces" for Miller's ideas. Support or refute critic Walter Kerr, who said, "For Salem, and the people in it, are really only conveniences to Mr. Miller, props to his themes. he does not make them interesting in and of themselves, and you wind up analyzing them..rather than losing yourself in any rounded, deeply rewarding personalities."
3-Instead of the "devil walking Salem," John Proctor says, "vengeance is walking Salem." Explain how this is true. Examine the motivations for the witch hunts and examine the consequences that follow. Besides the deaths, what happended to the community and its, values, morals, way of life?
also...maybe give me some ideas : )
