  • As the play progresses, Proctor begins to experience a change of heart. He now feels that he should pay for his sins, and is no longer afraid of facing the responsibilities of his actions. He believes that facing death is a way to make up for previous sins. Therefore, his going to the gallows is a sign of redemption.
  • The rest of the town wants him to sign a confession admitting his guilt, as others have done. However, Proctor refuses to do so. He tears up his confession and refuses to sacrifice his good name. Therefore, by going to the gallows without confessing to his sins (the true ones and the false ones), he is making a point. He is sacrificing himself. Proctor is killed, but he loses his life while standing up for himself.

In the context of the passage as a whole, the author’s comparison between the qualities of people and of metals (paragraphs 5-6)
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

E. reinforce the author’s overarching claim about ordinary people’s capacity for success

Explanation:

Answer E

Correct. A base metal is a metal of little monetary value, as opposed to a precious metal like gold. In stating that “from apparently the basest metals we have the finest toned bells,” the author asserts that a material that is considered worthless can nevertheless become the medium for the beautiful sound of a high-quality bell. He notes that people who are not valued by society (“simple manhood,” “dregs of society”) can similarly achieve great things sometimes. He then observes that steel objects and rusty razors can actually improve in quality after being left “neglected and forgotten” in the dirt, reflecting that the most marginalized and maligned of people (“the lowly and despised”) can similarly become agents of “improvement and progress” for the world. The comparison between metals and people thus reinforces the author’s thesis that people who do not seem to possess great talent or many advantages can still achieve extraordinary things (“excellence often comes unheralded and from unexpected quarters”).
