Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • Question 65: John Proctor shows the most change throughout the play. He starts as a somewhat reluctant figure but grows in moral courage.
  • Question 66: Proctor's final act symbolizes that pride leads to destruction. His pride in his name and his struggle with his past mistakes contribute to his downfall.
  • Question 67: Giles Corey is pressed to death with heavy stones for refusing to confess.
  • Question 68: Elizabeth refuses to convince John to confess because she respects his decision and won't take away his choice.
  • Question 69: The ending of The Crucible reinforces that honesty and moral courage outweigh life itself. Proctor's sacrifice for the truth is a powerful example.
  • Question 70: The literary device used when those who tell the truth are spared and those who lie are destroyed is irony.
  • Question 71: John Proctor's downfall best represents the destruction caused by hysteria. His life is ruined by the false accusations and the hysteria of the witch trials.
  • Question 72: From The Crucible, Miller wants audiences to learn that fear can manipulate people into abandoning their morals.
  • Question 73: Arthur Miller's overall message through The Crucible is that hysteria can destroy even the most moral individuals.
