Answer:

The terrible oracle that was delivered to King Acrisius was that the son of his daughter would be the cause of his death.

Explanation:

King Acrisus did not have a son to be his heir and this worried him greatly, so he went to the oracle Deslfos, who gave him the terrible prophecy that he would be killed by the child to be born of his daughter Danae. Terrified, Acrisus imprisons Danae in a bronze chamber to prevent her from getting pregnant, but Zeus enters the chamber in the form of rain, and causes Danae to get pregnant. Danae's son is the Greek hero Perseus.

Answer:

Foreshadowing is the literary technique used in the line by Elizabeth Proctor.

The scene that took place for the loose devil in Salem is the case of the witch hunt that took over the town of Salem.

This connects to the theme of hysteria in that the trial brought everyone to an excitement that no one can seem to ignore or be able to refrain from.

Explanation:

The literary technique that Arthur Miller used in his "The Crucible" is foreshadowing. It allows a certain 'hint' to the readers about what was to come in the near future. This is aptly seen in the line spoken by Elizabeth Proctor<em> "The town's gone wild".</em>

The event that took place over the course of the act is that of the witch-hunt. Abigail and other young girls were caught in the forest, dancing and <em>"trafficking"</em> with the devil. But for this, Elizabeth Proctor was wrongly accused of the same witch-craft, and condemned to be hanged. The subsequent community turmoil that this issue brought into the town of Salem is what Elizabeth was referring to the loose devil in Salem.

Hysteria is the super excitement of people about a certain issue, feeling anxious and full of uncontrollable emotions. This is similar to the Salem witch hunt for it creates a sense of excitement in the whole community to see and know about the case. The very case brought everyone on their toes, be it young and old, all seem interested and affected by the trial.

Answer:

Thomas Paine (1737-1809) was an American political activist, theorist, and a philosopher. Paine is the author of the famous pamphlets, including "The Age of Reason", "Rights of Man" (defending the French Revolution), and "Common Sense" (written during the American Revolution). Paine is believed to have inspired the patriots, his intended audience, to become independent from Great Britain in 1776. His writing style is often characterized by arrogance, as in pamphlet series <em>An American Crisis.</em>

Anne Bradstreet (1612 - 1672) was a poet and the first woman in America to write a book of poems. When she began writing, her poems were meant to educate her children about the hardships she went through. Her husband and children were her only audience, but she gradually became popular in her society. She wrote warm, love poems for her husband and children, but also religious poems. In some of her works, we can clearly notice her sarcastic tone towards the society and its norms.
