What is "the crucible" within the play and how does it bring about change or reveal

English
1 answer:
Kobotan [32]3 years ago
6 0

Miller's title, The Crucible, is appropriate for the play. A crucible is a container made of a substance that can resist great heat ; a crucible is also defined as a severe test. Within the context of the play the term takes on a new meaning: not only is the crucible a test, but a test designed to bring about change or reveal an individual's true character. The witch trials serve as a metaphorical crucible, which burns away the characters' outer shells to reveal their true intentions and character beneath. Throughout the play, Miller carefully peels away the layers of each character so that the audience not only can identify the character's motivation, but also can reevaluate the character through his or her actions. In other words, the audience observes the character as he or she is tested, and the audience ultimately determines if he or she passes the test.

Note: I apologize if my answer is wrong.

What did you experience when visiting old age home ​
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

As I walked through the creaking doors, the blast of warmth had hit my face, it was amazing! Visit my Grandmas during Winter was always a treat! I had always loved the sweet, sugary smell of her cookie jar and the fresh, soft smell of my grandads homemade bread... But the thing I loved the most about my Grandparents is their garden!  Opening the door would be like entering a rainforest of COLOUR! To the right of me were beautiful bluebells and to the right were fabulous fox-glove! They had come in many different colours and sizes... I love my Grandparents house!

There was never a dull moment!

Hope you like it! :)

What element from Ovid's "The story of Daedalus and Icarus" did Pieter Bruegel keep in his painting Landscape with the fall of I
MrMuchimi

Answer:

C. The theme that trying too hard or aiming to high can cause one to fail.

Explanation:

Ovid's story of Daedalus and Icarus tells the mythical tale of an imprisoned Daedalus making wings with wax and using it to escape from the island that he and his son were kept in. Meanwhile, Pieter Bruegel's oil painting "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" presents an image of the fall of Icarus with only his legs visible above the water while he fell from the sky, plunging head first.

In the painting, though the character of Daedalus isn't visible, the theme of trying too hard which led to the disastrous drowning is perfectly shown through the fall of Icarus. This <u>theme of aiming too high or getting greedy from the myth seems to be the common element that Bruegel retain in his painting.</u>
