Answer:
The man was about to be hanged.
Explanation:
Ambrose Bierce's short story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" tells the story of how a convicted man was about to be hanged on the railroad bridge. The man, Peyton Farquhar, was a plantation farmer who was accused of trying to burn down the bridge during the Civil War.
The lines/ excerpt given in the question is from the first paragraph of the story which shows Peyton waiting for his death. The author/ speaker of the story is describing the scene and setting of the story, the exact point where we see Peyton (yet unnamed) waiting for the rope to be pulled which will finalize his death.
Answer and Explanation:
Hello. You forgot to say that this question is about "The Crucible".
In "The Crucible" hysteria is caused by irrational fear and the constant sense of threat that the entire population feels towards each other. This fear is a feeling that the population releases at once, having suppressed it for a long time. Making them start accusing each other in a completely insane way, in an attempt to protect themselves from witchcraft and the worship of the devil that is the source of all this fear.
As a result, the population enters a state of complete chaos, which grows progressively as time passes. The charges led many members of society to be arrested and even sentenced to death. This prevented the necessary work from being done to the population, in addition to causing a disruption to the whole society, increasing hysteria due to the needs that the population began to feel.
This was inspired because of Dahls experience with chocolate companies during his school days.
