Answer:

The "she" in the line is Abigail Williams.

Elizabeth believes she wants her dead because she (Abigail) loves Proctor and wanted to have him, thus wrongfully accusing Elizabeth Proctor of witchcraft.

This accusation will bring to light the problems within the couple and also bring to light the true character of Abigail Williams and the true nature of the witchery, thus driving the plot to further upheaval with the wrongful imprisonment and convictions of the women of the town and not of the real convicts.

Explanation:

Arthur Miller's <em>The Crucible</em> revolves around the Salem witch trials that overtook the whole town of Salem in the Puritan New England town of Massachusetts. The story involves the wrongful accusations of women by the younger girls in their efforts to escape the punishment that was meant for them.

Elizabeth Proctor's line <em>"She wants me dead I knew all week it would come to this"</em> is a direct accusation of Abigail's false accusation of Elizabeth's involvement in the witchery. The "<em>she</em>" is Abigail Williams and Elizabeth believes "<em>she</em>" wants her dead because she fears that Abigail wants to get rid of her and take her husband Proctor from her. She had known about the affair of her husband with Abigail and had been previously employed by the Proctors.

This accusation will further drive the plot as Abigail's accusations will bring to light the affairs of the whole town, her own affair with Mr. Proctor, and also lead to the wrongful conviction of witchcraft on Elizabeth. And this accusation will bring to light the whole domestic story of the infidelity of Proctor and his lechery. It will also ruin the husband-wife relationship, and also bring out the true nature of Abigail in front of everyone.

According to Ariel, how many feet under the sea is Ferdinand's father? 25 30 50​
Advocard [28]

According to Ariel, Ferdinand's father is 30 feet under the sea.

Explanation:

Ariel's song features in the Tempest's Act i, scene II. The very first line mentions the information sought here.

It says: Full fathom five thy father lies. One fathom is equivalent to 6 feet so five fathoms will be about 30 feet. Full fathom five... is part of the second stanza of Ariel's song, which is more popular than the first stanza and is often presented in a standalone manner.

This stanza is believed to the source of catchphrases made of identical words and the phrase 'sea change'.

Using indirect characterization, describe a character who is experiencing a moral dilemma
lora16 [44]
Jake, brave, pitiful, and older than his years, gazed down at his starving family. His mother had passed on a few months ago, and her dying wish was that the family stay together. Jake knew the foster system; it was unlikely that they could all stay together, especially with his track record with the law. Yet, he knew that they would not survive long without more food and money. He felt torn between fulfilling his promise to his mother and that other promise he made, the promise to himself. He had vowed to change his life when his mother was diagnosed with cancer. Stealing would fulfill her promise (as long as he didn't get caught) but break the promise to himself that made him a new man. This new man cared for his siblings; what would happen to his family if he became a thief?
