Hey, I've got a lot of overdue work, a learning disability & a job. Please help me out if you can! (Really doesn't have to be near perfect, I just need something to put down) The Crucible: Characterization: Act 2

In approximately 100 words, describe the cause and effect relationships among events in act II.

Act II of The Crucible by Arthur Miller is full of events which are interconnected, and often one event triggers another. To see this best, here is a list of the events, in the order they happen, in this act of the play:

We see that the relationship between Elizabeth and John Proctor is strained because of the affair he had with Abigail

Proctor learns that the witch trials are in full force: Abigail is the head accuser and fourteen people are in jail

Elizabeth wants Proctor to tell what he knows and cannot understand why he hesitates to do so

Proctor knows he should tell, but he has to admit that he was alone with Abigail when she told him they were all just faking this to avoid getting in trouble.

There are two primary connecting story lines here. One is Abigail's desire to get rid of Elizabeth and the other is Proctor's reluctance to tell what he knows, because he broke off their affair, Abigail now wants Elizabeth dead, or at least gone; she sticks a needle in the poppet she is making (and undoubtedly told Abigail who she planned to give it to). Knowing Mary was going to give the poppet to Elizabeth, Abigail was then free to make up any story she wanted about Elizabeth torturing her with a needle. Being "mentioned" in court has now turned into arrest warrants for Elizabeth, Rebecca, and Martha. John's reluctance to speak what he knows allows Abigail to reign in court, and his guilt about the affair causes him to stumble in front of Hale, making him look suspiciously like a reprobate and a sinner. When Proctor tells Mary that Abigail will charge him with lechery if he talks, Proctor is even more determined to go to court and, in addition to saving Elizabeth, finally expose Abigail for the lying wench she is. He is even just a bit relieved that he may have to confess his own sin in order to bring Abigail down. One thing causes another in this act, and most of it is driven by Proctor's guilt or Abigail's lust.

Act II of Arthur Miller's Crucible becomes composed of interconnected incidents or one event that often causes one, throughout this event, you could see that the partnership between Elizabeth or Elizabeth Proctor is strained due to Abigail's affair. In this play, we can now see the event in the order they occur.

John points out that witch hunts are full: Laura is the lead prosecutor and 14 individuals are imprisoned wants people John to tell her everything he knows and therefore can grasp how.

Investigation revealed he could say that if he was all alone Abigail, but he has to confess that he told him they're all only false to avoid problems. Its inability of Proctor to inform Elizabeth he was alone with Abigail triggers further debate on crimes already committed but forgiven.

Lady Macbeth comes home, hands Elizabeth a petal, and seems to be angry that 39 women are also in jail accused of witchcraft. Mary reveals she is jailed because Mrs. Putnam can not say the Holy Quran.

The Invigilators do not want Mary to return, but they overlap how she has saved Angelina's life in court tomorrow, and Elizabeth says, "She wishes my dead, John... your know that," Anne can't tell who charged Elizabeth.

He recognizes it. He will Hale arrives, nervous that perhaps the title of Rebecca Nurse is "mentioned". Hale questioned Prospero about low attendance at his church; John told him the truth.

Hawthorne asks Prospero to recite their 10 Commandments; he tends to forget one precept, one precept, and he helps Emily, Hale's told Prospero Abigail's gone. The spouses were detained and Giles and Joseph Norse arrived. Hawthorne is troubled. Hawthorne is disturbed. Elijah Cheever goes to Emma to ask if she has any poppy; Anne gives her the one she's got for Mary.

emerson essentially believes that traveling is overrated. he supports this perspective through an initial focus on "the idea" of places like italy, england, and egypt, and the fascination of "educated americans" with them. he argues that those places only took on the grand, majestic ideas that they represent because "they who made england, italy, or greece venerable in the imagination did so by sticking fast where they were, like an axis of the earth." yes, those places are grand, but only because they so clearly represent the places that they are. the art and culture of italy, england, and egypt is authentic, and therefore significant.
