How are the women in The Crucible by Arthur Miller shown to be empowered?
Women are of a lower social rank in Puritan society than men. Only men can lead in church, and the church rules the society. This therefore makes the women quite powerless. The Salem witch trials give women, especially the young and unmarried Abigail Williams, a power over the important and influential members of society. By using the witchcraft trials, Abigail is able to accuse innocent citizens and receive the attention and power that she previously lacked.
How do you interpret marys visions and accusations in The Crucible by Arthur Miller?
In Puritan Salem, young women such as Abigail, Mary, and Mercy are largely powerless until they get married. As a young, unmarried servant girl, Mary is expected to obey the will of her employer, Proctor, who can confine her to his home and even whip her for disobeying his orders.
What is some conflicts in act 2 of The Crucible by Arthur Miller?
One of the most apparent and obvious conflict appears in the beginning of the Act, when the teenaged girls of the village have been caught dancing in the woods. This is against the religious beliefs of the town. With the word of the girls dancing in the woods, the witchcraft "rumors" are spread. This conflict leads to all other conflicts . . . (The village people getting accused of witchcraft), Abigail had started it... always telling lies and making the situation even worse, that ended up the main conflict. The second conflict I see as a big table turner is the affair that John Proctor had with Abigail Williams. These two had an affair when Abigail was working in John's house and Abigail believed that if she got rid of Elizabeth Proctor, then John Proctor would become her own. John Proctor HAD an affair with Abigail, but for him it was just puppy love, while Abigail believed it was true love. She told John Proctor that she loved him, and once she gets rid of Elizabeth, they would be free to love each other. John is freaked out by this, but can do nothing to convince Abigail that he is not in love with her. Abigail then accuses Elizabeth of witchcraft and is arrested. John Proctor has the decision of what to do. He knows that he has sinned but does not want to hurt his wife. Two young girls are in trances, seemingly unable to see or hear the outside world. - Some of the girls want to tell the adults the truth, but Abigail keeps them from doing so. -Abigail and John Proctor have had an affair. She still wants to be with him, but he tells her that they can never be together again. -Proctor and Putnam begin to argue over wood being taken off land. - Many of the villagers become sure of witchcraft. - Abigail accuses Tituba of witchcraft who in turn accuses other women of the town.
How do you understand the poem Green Apples by Dudley Randall?
It basically means that young people aren't mature enough to understand what real love is, emotionally or physically, and that love gets better the older you get.(Please see the related link for the text of the poem.)____Trying to understand a poem usually starts with asking questions about it...First, why is it called Green Apples?The poem is comparing a young woman to a fruit that isn't ripe yet... that still needs to grow.So, in what ways does the author think that the woman needs to grow?in the first stanza, he says the woman is fresh, but not mellow, so he thinks that young women have to mellow out a little.in the second stanza, he says that it is hard to talk to young women because they talk about themselves and talk too much... so he thinks that women should learn to enjoy silences and when they do talk, to focus on the object of their love more.in the third stanza, he says that young women are overeager and almost violent during lovemaking, and are selfish, only thinking about their own pleasure. ... so he thinks that they need to learn to be less selfish, more practiced and competent at pleasing their partner.What is the author trying to say?so, from all of that, we know that the author thinks that young women need to grow up and become more mature and focus on their significant others more. We also see in the last stanza that he doesn't only think this about young women... because he mentions that they deserve young men... who also do all of those young and immature things. :)
