Which theme is prominent in this excerpt from "To an Athlete Dying Young" by A. E. Housman? Now you will not swell the rout Of l

ads that wore their honours out, Runners whom renown outran And the name died before the man. So set, before its echoes fade, The fleet foot on the sill of shade, And hold to the low lintel up The still-defended challenge-cup And round that early-laurelled head Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead, And find unwithered on its curls The garland briefer than a girl's. the inevitability of death

The theme prominent is the death of a young man at the height of his strength and his career. Death of a young person is a common theme in poetry and this one is very famous because of the emotions that it awakens in a person. Poe was known for writing poems like this usually including young women who die before becoming old.

Compare the behaviors of Mary Warren and Abigail Williams toward John Proctor. Describe how their behavior changed
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

"The Crucible" is a play written by Arthur Miller, an American Dramatist.

The play is a fictionalized version of Massachusetts's "Salem Witch Trials" of 1692-93.

Explanation:

Abigail Williams is the antagonist in the play. She had an adulterous relation with John Proctor. But John is married to Elizabeth. Out of jealousy for Elizabeth, Abigail with some other girls, tries to invoke curse on Elizabeth so that after her death, she could marry John.

Abigail behaves as if she is an adult when John tries to tell her that their relationship is a past thing saying,

<em>"I know how you clutched my back behind your house and sweated like a stallion whenever I come near! I saw your face when she put me out and you loved me then and you do now! "</em>

Her lust and passion for John Proctor and her jealousy towards Elizabeth took a drastic shift in the play. When caught by her uncle in the forest dancing naked and performing pagan rituals, she accuses Elizabeth for devil-worship.

Mary, on the other hand, is a very naive and weak girl, in comparison to Abigail. She is the employer of Proctor's. She knows the truth of the girls and resist witnessing falsity against the Proctor's. But when pressed down by the situation in the courtroom she sides with Abigail and the girls and accuses Proctor's of being witch-craft practitioners.
