Question

What does the text of paragraph 2 suggest about the purpose of Miller's essay?

Answer 1

Answer:

He suggests that women were victims of sexual repression, in addition to religious intolerance.

Explanation:

Miller's essay is about "The Crucible". In the second paragraph Miller shows how women in Salem, in addition to being victims of religious intolerance, were victims of sexual repression, since society at that time placed women in a disadvantageous social condition, where all were devalued and discredited, being victims of physical abuse, religious and even ideological.
