The Crucible?

Question

I have to write an introductory paragraph on the crucible explaining which characters were dynamic or static: this is so far what I got

In the play the "Crucible" we saw both static and dynamic characters. Some characters remained the same throughout the play while others had great changes. Among some of the static characters were Abigail Williams, Rebecca Nurse, and Reverend Parris. Some of the dynamic characters were Reverend Hale, John Proctor, and Elizabeth Proctor.

This all I have--but it seems so plain and boring do you guys have any suggestions on how to make it more intresting and catch the reader's attention...

Answer 1

I think instead of listing which characters are dynamic or static, you should pick 1 static and 1 dynamic character and explain briefly why they were for example...

In the play the "Crucible" we saw both static and dynamic characters. Some characters remained the same throughout the play while others had great changes. Abigail Williams, the unofficial leader of the group of girls, is a static character because throughout the story she keeps denying any witchcraft and claims she and the girls were just dancing. Hale is a dynamic character who sees it as his duty to seek out the witches, and to 'save their souls'. Hale, after seeing the horrors of the witch trials and watching the loss of both civil and human rights, has a conversion of heart and speaks out against them telling Judge Danforth that they are morally wrong.

"In the play the "Crucible" we saw both static and dynamic characters. Some characters remained the same throughout the play while others had great changes. Among some of the static characters were Abigail Williams, Rebecca Nurse, and Reverend Parris. Some of the dynamic characters were Reverend Hale, John Proctor, and Elizabeth Proctor."

The second sentence is redundant because it simply restates your first sentence.

I would use the introduction to explain the following:

(1) State the name of the play and the playwright (i.e. Arthur Miller) and when the play was written in 1 sentence.
(2) Summarize in 1 or 2 sentences what the play is about.
(3) In one sentence state your thesis, i.e. purpose for this essay or paper.

By exploring the static and dynamic qualities displayed amongst characters in the Crucible (since its a play, can't recall whether to underline or use quotes), the reader will come to understand the importance of the .... insert your own idea .....

There you go an example something to work with.

Hope that helps get you thinking more critically.

Dynamic Character In The Crucible

Answer 4

You might approach the topic this way: Don't TELL us which characters are static or dynamic, but rather SHOW us. Ever heard the phrase, "The more things change, the more they stay the same"? Your answers are correct, but answer the question with this (and use your own words): Abigail Williams, Rebecca Nurse and Rev. Parris represent the unchanging, uncompromising rigidity of Puritan thought and belief; but it is this rigidity that is uncommon when compared to the 'anything goes' attitude of the 'witch hunts' of the 1950's. (This is, by the way, what the play is about: the Communist 'Red Scare' of Sen. Joseph McCarthy) This is how they are dynamic. Rev. Hale, John and Elizabeth Proctor undergo profound shifts of thought during the events of the story, but perhaps, one could argue, this is their nature; to constantly change. This is how they stay the same, we would expect nothing less of them. If they stopped being overly dramatic and emotional during the course of the story, the audience would notice uncharacteristic halt and not believe these players in the story... (take it from there) Good Luck!
