"The Crucible," a play by Arthur Miller, takes place in Salem, Massachusetts, during the year 1692. The setting is during the infamous Salem witch trials, a time marked by hysteria and paranoia surrounding accusations of witchcraft. The small Puritan community grapples with fear, morality, and the consequences of mass hysteria as personal grievances and societal pressures come to a head.

Is A Romance in Five Acts an accurate description of the play Pygmalion?
I consider 'Pygmalion' an unusual play that does not conform to the traditional romance. For instance, in Act I, the introduction of the main characters, Eliza and Higgins, is not typical as in other romances where characters fall in love from the start of the play. Eliza does not fall in love with him at first sight, love is not present from the beginning, as in traditional romances. The protagonist, Eliza, is described as not being a romantic figure at all. The male protagonist, Higgins, calls Eliza a "squashed cabbage leaf",while she can do no better than "Ah-ah-ah-ow-ow-ow-oo" back at him. The impression she makes on him is abstract (as an interesting phonetic subject), while that which he makes on her is monetary (he throws her some change). Thus, such impression may aniticipate that love between Eliza and Higgins will not take place and they will not end together. In fact, Shaw's intention is to reverse the myth of Pygmalion since the play does not end happily, that is to say, with Eliza and Higgins together. What is more, 'Pygmalion' is very similar to Shaw's own life. Actually, he had a frustated marriage. Perhaps, Shaw wanted to show his own love experience, an unconventional romance, different from the traditional fairy tales, and leave the end open to the audience's imagination.
A scene is a location of an event which attracts attention, or a subdivision of a play.
Quotes on Tybalt from Act 1 Scene 1?
What, drawn, and talk of peace! I hate the word,
As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee:
Have at thee, coward!
Where in Othello is the line i am not what i am?
In the beginning of the play, in Act 1, Scene 1.. you can find this quote. It is near the beginning (I can't really give you a line number since all the editions are different).
Iago says this line to Roderigo in a long paragraph starting with "O, sir, content you"... then by the end of the paragraph, he states :
"The native act and figure of my heart
In compliment extern, 'tis not long after
But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve
For daws to peck at: I am not what I am" (I.i, Othello).
Good luck! This is such a great and important line in characterizing Iago and the tragic villain!
How many times is Othello called 'Moor' by Iago in act one?
Eight times, and once he calls Othello "his Moorship", a play on "His Worship". He also uses the word to talk about all African people: "These Moors are changeable in their wills."
But it's not as if other people don't call Othello "the Moor". Brabantio calls him that four times, and Roderigo twice. It is also used by those who are kindly disposed to him, including his own wife Desdemona twice and the Senator who calls him "valiant Moor" and later "brave Moor".
