In this drama, a crucible would represent the constant building action leading to the climax of the pot. Similar to the contents of a crucible, the characters seem to be constantly enduring severe trials; in this case, the witching trials. The crucible would, in my opinion, symbolize the town itself and its residents the contents. The symbolism of this suggests a theme of the townspeople going through the witching trials and coming out with a "refined" lesson. The unnecessary accusations and trials will teach a hard lesson to the people who live within the town and influence their future.
Hope this can help you out some!!
Lincoln talked about how each side asked for the help of god (the south asking to help keep slavery and the north to abolish it)
Definition.
A writer would BEST DEVELOP a paragraph using a DEFINITION when he wants to get at the meaning of an abstract concept.
I believe that the lines from Antigone that show a result of Creon's change in fortune, or his peripeteia are:
<em>Thy wife, the mother of thy dead son here,
</em><em>Lies stricken by a fresh inflicted blow.
</em>It shows that both his son and his wife are dead because of his bad decisions.
