Power
Her imperative Tone is important because she is challenging the power of Danforth, the most important and powerful man in Salem.
The stage direction indicates that she has power over Danforth. Not only has she protected her self-interest, but she has also manipulated Danforth.
It is that Abigail, a young girl, has the power to manipulate the Deputy Governor of the Province and that he will let her dictate the terms of the trial.
You must discuss the various individual and collective experiences Miller has depicted and how he was represented them.

Character | Character | Change? |
Initially she believes in Abigail’s plan to gain authority and power in the town and assists Abigail to incriminate Elizabeth Proctor. | She undergoes a change of heart and sees that the trials are not harmless “sport” but damaging to individuals and the community. However, her fear of Abigail and the solidarity of the others leads her to recant and incriminate Proctor. | |
Hale considers himself to be a pious man who is destined to root out evil from towns in New England. He truly believes in the crimes he investigates. | Having seen the damage that the Witch-Trials have had on the town by dividing the community he changes his perspective. He urges Proctor to confess on the grounds of saving his life, rather than to act in a moral or Christian manner. |

Common module essay questions: the crucible practice questions.
Here are some text specific common module essay questions on The Crucible. These are questions for the more capable student – if you are not feeling confident in your understanding of the prescribed text or feel a bit insecure about your essay writing skills generally, it is better to start practising with the generic essay questions . They are the first port of order for skill building and developing your preliminary understanding of the topic.
Text specific questions are a bit more advanced. These essay questions require a holistic understanding of the novel and may prompt students to focus on any aspect of the text whether it is a specific theme, character, event or textual element (i.e. dramatic devices, etc) So if you haven’t read the play, you may feel somewhat bewildered upon reading some of these questions…
Writing essays are an important bit of practice for your HSC exams and while an essay only requires a focus on two or three ideas and approximately 8 – 12 quotes, students will need to increase their understanding and general knowledge of the overall text in order to adapt well to text specific questions.
These questions can also be a creative exercise for improving your pre-existing arguments and testing the adaptability of that pre-existing argument.
Here are those questions.

Resource Description
‘Storytelling hints at human imperfections. Where there is perfection, there is no story to tell.’
Use Statement to consider how stories about the human experience can challenge assumptions or ignite new ideas. Discuss with close reference to The Crucible (Essay only talk about Crucible).
Consider: Representation, what human experiences?
The human experience is a term for the realities of human existence including the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical characteristics of human life.
Paradoxes, abnormalities, inconsistencies – -> motivations, beliefs, attitude
Categories of human experiences : spiritual, physical, intellectual, cultural, emotional
Human Imperfections are part of the human experience
What Human imperfections were displayed in the Crucible?
Righteousness (Christian context? Current definition: the quality of being morally right or justifiable . )
– Rebecca Nurse, Reverend Hale, John Proctor, Elizabeth Proctor, Corey Giles
These people are considered righteous yet there are imperfections as they may be ‘unrighteous’ for the sake of loved ones, conscience, morals, etc. John Proctor ultimately had a righteous nature but did not commit unrighteous deeds such as adultery with Abigail, but he did show righteousness by forsaking his pride, image, reputation in an attempt to prove the innocence of Elizabeth. He also refused to sign the confession which states he had dealings with the devil although it would have saved his life but would have tarnished his name and his children ‘s. Corey Giles refused to expose the man that gave him proof of why his wife was innocent of witchcraft, in order to protect him from persecution from the court. Giles was then also lead into the accusations of witchcraft; even in death, Giles refused to ‘confess’ to witchcraft so his sons could inherit his farm and was pressed to death. Reverend Hale had a genuine desire to rid Witchcraft from Salem but after realising the fraud that the girls were, he realised that he had contributed to the killing of innocent people. In an attempt to salvage the last of his conscience he attempts to make Rebecca Nurse, Maria Giles and John Proctor lie about witchcraft. In some ways he was righteous in his intent but failed to be righteous in his actions, his attempt to save people can also be interpreted as a way to compensate for his own misdoings. He did stand up to Danforth and Parris in an attempt to convince them to not kill innocent people but to no avail. Rebecca was all around a righteous woman and she displayed the injustice of the court when she was arrested and convicted to death. Elizabeth Proctor was similar as she had mainly lived and thought righteously but lied to the court believing she was protecting her husband’s image.
