Apex Demons torturing sinners.

Dante is describing sinners suffering in boiling pitch. Their suffering is eternal; they suffer in the pitch, and they suffer when they break the surface.

There is a pool of boiling pitch that the souls bob in and out of. When they break the surface, a demon grabs them and tears them apart. By remaining under the pitch for as long as possible, they can escape the demon's tortures and gain a form of peace. (This is a relative form of "peace" because they are still submerged in boiling pitch.)

When a demon does pull a sinner out, Dante describes him being pulled out by his hair. The demon, with the sinner hanging out of his mouth, appears to look like an otter.

Why did Elizabeth proctor feel unworthy of Johns love
kumpel [21]

Answer:

Elizabeth felt unworthy of her husband's love because she felt that she wasn't enough of a wife to the good John Proctor.

Explanation:

Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible" revolves around the Salem witch trials that happened in the late 17th century. The play was set alongside the trails that saw many innocent people wrongly convicted and hanged for practicing witchcraft.

In the play, Elizabeth Proctor was also one of the women accused of practicing it. when asked to testify to her husband's claims of his own affairs with their former helper Abigail, Elizabeth refused to reveal the truth of the affair. In her opinion, she only thought that her husband deviated from her because of her sickness, which led to her turning Abigail away from their home. She stated <em>"My husband is a good and righteous man. He is never drunk as some are, nor wastin' his time at the shovelboard, but always at his work."</em> And in doing so, she justified whatever Proctor had done and only blamed herself for the way her husband acted.

She 'reveres' her husband and would only accept his goodness and not the bad things he had done, claiming <em>"John, I counted myself so plain, so poorly made, no honest love could come to me! Suspicion kissed you when I did; I never knew how I should say my love. It were a cold house I kept!"</em>
