Three of these characters might be described as static. which character is not static?

options:

rebecca nurse

reverend parris

reverend hale

abigail

Reverend Hale is a dynamic character in Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible" (1953).

Explanation:

Dynamic Characters: Dynamic characters change at least at one point of the play/story mostly as a result of some experience.

Static Characters: Static character do not change anywhere in the play/story.

Static Complex Characters: Actions of static complex characters change in the play, hence their actions may appear dynamic but their character remains the same/static.

Reverend Hale is a dynamic character because in the third act of the play Hale's heart changes and he knows by intuition that John Proctor is telling the truth. Reverend Hale openly criticizes the court. He protests, prays and feels guilt when the hanging of the accused takes place.

Rebecca Nurse is a sensible and upright woman who remains the same throughout the play; hence she is a static character.

Reverend Parris is the parish priest of Salem his stupidity and cowardice keep him blind from knowing the truth and gaining self-awareness into the truth. So, he too is a static character.

Abigail is a static character because she remains unethical, jealous, liar and revengeful throughout the play.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

chapter i -- paris: september, 1792

a surging, seething, murmuring crowd of beings that are human only in name, for to the eye and ear they seem naught but savage creatures, animated by vile passions and by the lust of vengeance and of hate.

during the greater part of the day the guillotine had been kept busy at its ghastly work: all that france had boasted of in the past centuries, of ancient names, and blue blood, had paid toll to her desire for liberty and for fraternity.
