Jacob F solelyin Mrs. James English III 22 November 2010 Themes in The Crucible In my essay Im going to be talking about the themes in The Crucible. Saving your image is non worthy the lives of complimentary stack. Danforth did not want to postpone the hanging because he doesnt want to look weak in Salem. So to look muscular he showed no mercy, didnt not postpone the hangings, and so population with respect him in all ways. Lies whitethorn be truth, and truth may be lies. Said by illusion Proctor, innocent persons knew the truth fleck Abigail said that they were working with the devil.So who is going to believe who? That is what happens danforth does not believe the innocent, scarce the liers. Its better to fail with honor than succeed as a fraud. John Proctor died knowing the truth while Abigail ran away from the innocent lives that she took from good mess and she did that with her life of lies, and gets away from every social function that happened to all the innocen t people that died for telling the truth and not doing witchcraft further was accuse for it and then(prenominal) was hanged if did not acknowledge.Jacob2 When good men do nothing, evil can triumph. If people in Salem said that Abigail and the other girls were lying they could have had a chance for the innocent to live. But only one person stood up for himself and the innocent John Proctor and he was hanged for not confessing to witchcraft which he was innocent but since he said I am not with god. A lie told often enough becomes the truth. Abigail and all the other girls, which said the same thing over and over again that was so and so used witchcraft and Judge Danforth believed Abigail and all the other girls which caused several death of innocent people like Corey Giles who was pressed to death they did that cause, so it soon became the truth to the court. Whoever was accused was going to get hanged unless the confessed and there were a few that did confess, and will be rememb ered by being known for doing witchcraft but the ones that didnt confess were hanged, the last two people that hanged and did not confess was Rebecca Nurse ,and John Proctor. One error can lead up to many errors. It all started because of Abigail and Johns relationship, thats when the witch trials and hangings occurred. All of this could have not started if John had not had the affair with Abigail and gave her hope that they would one day be together and she motionless though that john and her would soon be together because his wife was accused.
