In what kind of community does Arthur Miller root John Proctor? :: English Literature
In what kind of participation does Arthur Miller root John Proctor?In Arthur Millers Salem the community is very religious and pious.They might be religious but their actions ar bad. The community is apuritan community this bureau that they are keen on helping the churchor making it better. The community is lead by the church so it is atheocracy. Only by maven example you dissolve see how religious the communityis because the church leads it. The community is scared of early(a)people coming and changing the whole way of their lives so they wantto keep their way to themselves. In Arthur Millers Salem, Salem confederacy is very repressive in other word it is controlled and strict.They want it strict so they can keep the community from falling topieces.The society of Arthur Millers Salem is very strict and severe. Forinstance when Abigail and the other teenage girls were caught in theforest dancing by Parris. When Abigail was at home with Parris.Abigail says to Parris in Act 1 Pag e 7I think you best go down and deny it yourself.Parris replies back by expressMy daughter and my niece I discovered dancing like heathen in theforest?You can see here now that Parris is calling Abigail heathen who meansnon-Christian. Parris is calling Abigail non-Christian only fordancing.It is so severe that Abigail said on Act 1 Page 7Uncle, we did dance let you tell them I confessed it-and Ill be whipped if I must be.Then Mary says on Act 1 Page 14Abby weve got to tell. Witcherys an hanging erroryoull only bewhipped for dancing and other things we must tell the truth.You only can see by this how strict and severe the community is, ifyou dace you get whipped sixty times. You can see the society isstrict and only by the few examples I have given. They gave severepunishment to any unitary who broke their rules.The beliefs of the people are strong and they stand up for theirbeliefs. Because the foundation of witches etc are mentioned in theBible. Proctor says in Act 2 Page 57I hav e no knowledge of it the Bible speaks of witches and I pull up stakes not deny them.Proctor is saying that he does not know if witches exist, because theBible mentions witches so he has full belief in them. All of thecommunity is religious and they will have total belief in the Bible.They are very quick to call each other witches or that some one isbewitched.
