Summary Of The Crucible Act 2 Scene 2

Elizabeth sits by the window. Her chair is turned away from the rising sun. She sits still.

     This film surprised me. I never knew that that happened to children in those days. Slavery wasn't just the Negroes and Indians. It made me think how lucky I am to live in the day in age that I do, even though there are still children treated like this. I just was lucky and grew up in a good

In Act II, we see quite a bit going on, and it seems to be the climax of the story. We see Torvald belittle women once again when he says " is it to get about now that the new manager has changed his mind at his wife's bidding." We learn that Torvald expedited Krogstad's dismissal, and thus we see Nora acting really out of sorts as she tries harder and harder to maker sure Torvald never learns her secret- even going as far as to pretend she has no clue how to do the Tarantella to stop Torvald from reading the letter that Krogstad left. Finally, the Act leaves us with Nora stating "Thirty-One" hours to live- so us as readers are left wanting to know- is she going to commit suicide? Will Krogstad kill her? Or is it hypothetical- that she believes

I feel that extremism is dangerous because it can lead to intolerance, lying and hurting others.

The set is made up of a door, a rostrum box (car), another two rostrum boxes (dining table), two chairs, and one table (lounge room), another rostrum box (bed) phone, two flight of stairs going in together (one goes up one goes down), cups x2

Act 3 takes place in the church, which had been turned into a courtroom for the witch trials. Mary testified that they were only pretending to be afflicted by the witchcraft. Proctor was questioned about his religious beliefs. Judge Danforth arrested Giles for not giving him the name of the man who gave him information on the witchcraft, because he didn’t want to give away Putnam. Abigail was then sent on trial, and denied Mary’s testimony. The girls accused Mary of bewitching them with a cold wind and that she was responsible of the witchcraft. When Abigail accused Mary, Proctor called Abigail a whore and confessed his affair with her. He explained that Elizabeth fired her when she discovered it. He claimed that Abigail wanted Elizabeth to

Although the film was extremely upsetting, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie because I learned so much. Throughout the entirety of the film, I felt heartbroken and ashamed. I think I felt this way because being a white, upper-middle class individual, I have never experienced anything similar to what Africans Americans go through daily.

Miller made the right decision in removing Act 2 Scene 2 as it would have distracted the reader from the larger purpose of power and hysteria in the play and have instead introduced a new conflict of genuine insanity. In the deleted scene, a different side of Abigail is shown, one that is delusional and seems to care for Proctor. In a wishfully disturbing manner, Abigail promises to Proctor that, “I will make you such a wife when the world is white again… From yourself I will save you”, and repeatedly states her belief that her purpose was to “scrub the world clean” of all the hypocrites and eventually be rewarded with Proctor as a husband. This caring and desperate side of Abigail contradicts the selfish and manipulative persona that is seen

Another point issue not address in the movie is the importance of the characters because it doesn’t show Paul, the white deputy. He is very significant in the book because it shows that he has respect for black people, and shows that not every white person is pregedist against blacks. At the end of the book, he personally delivers the notice that Jefferson was the strongest and fearless man he has ever seen to walk to the electric room and die as a man. Thus, the book is better than the novel because it is shows how bad and how good, at the same time, whites treated blacks. Another character not mention at all in

George: O.K….O.K., whatever you say... (They both sit on the couch. He tries to kiss her. She moves away) Look, we’ve had a nice evening: let’s not spoil it, huh?...

This movie was very symbolic to the enslavement that occurred so many years ago. It gave a different outlook to others who had no idea what slaves had to endure. The foul that was mentioned in the movie was symbolic at the end when it was looking back. Shola had mentioned that the foul had carried her away; the foul was their rescue all along. Foreshadow was displayed a couple of times, as I said earlier when shongo quoted “The snake gwine eat whatever is in the belly of the frog”: it was saying that they were after something. More foreshadow was displayed when Joe asked Father if he was practicing the right religion and if his skin color defined him. You could tell that Joe was going to come to point where he knew that what he was doing was wrong. you can tell that he was going to come to his senses

The accuracy of the film was spot on. It depicted all the horrors and history of slavery very well. In fact “Dr. Emily West, an associate professor of history at the University of Reading” supports my statement when she states “I have never seen a film represent slavery so accurately.” It portrayed the difference of the masters by showing how one was kind to Northup and how the other was a “Nigger Breaker.” Also just as History says, slave owners justified their actions with the bible, and their “Christian Duties.” However, it did over emphasize Northup’s social

This movie did an excellent job portraying the time era in which the Civil War was taken place and depicts the emotions and pressures of war. The movie helped me to visual that time period in a better sense and to see the perspective of African American soldiers fighting in the Civil War. The movie showed a lot more in depth and personal feelings of the black soldiers during that time period. The movie portrayed what the black soldiers had to deal with as soldiers of the Union and it helped me to visual what I learned about the black regiments during the civil war. The film even showed the soldiers having to do manual labor and lute the southern towns and cities. It also showed how even though the black soldiers were on the same side as the white soldiers of the Union, the black soldiers were still treated as unequal and faced prejudice daily by the other white soldiers. It also showed the strong belief of many of the white Union soldiers that they fought for emancipation and the freedom of the

Keep track of all the ways the director shows us the fragile humanity of the slaves. And keep track of how that humanity is stripped away from the slaves. Slavery is grounded in the dehumanization of the

There are a few insightful scenes in the movie that brought about a better understanding of what really transpired during the American Revolution. The first being, that Martin is portrayed as a very compassionate slave owner. When studying slavery most owners are depicted as cruel and
