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.

What ultimately happened as a result of the drive for equality"Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut
Inga [223]

Answer:

What happened as a result of the drive for equality in "Harrison Bergeron" is that society became both average and unfair.

Explanation:

"Harrison Bergeron" is a short story by author Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. Set In the year of 2081, when the American government is able to provide total equality. However, this equality comes in a strange and most unfair manner. People are not allowed to be themselves so that others - less beautiful, intelligent or capable - do not feel bad about their disadvantages. The Handicapper General forces those who have advantages to be handicapped. Harrison Bergeron, a fourteen-year-old, who has astonishing looks and intelligence is forced to wear all sorts of handicappers to make him average like everyone else - weights, teeth caps, earphones, heavy spectacles, a red rubber ball on his nose, some head gear.

<u>As we can see, the drive for equality took a bad and sudden turn. In Harrison's society, no one is truly free. People cannot voice their opinions or express their true selves in any way. They suffer, of course, but they have grown used to and afraid of it at the same time. The government will punish those who dare to be spectacular (Harrison is shot and killed by the Handicapper General when he removes his handicaps on TV). Society must remain average to be equal, even if this equality is unfair.</u>
