Upward Action In The Crucible

The exhibition is the beginning of the play when Abigail confronts Parris. Give background information to be built on the following acts. Through the exhibition it is discovered that Parris saw the girls with Tituba dancing in the forest that stimulates the witchcraft accusation of the people of the town. Along with the first scene the background information presented before the first scene, in standard format, also details important information about the background of the city and the people. Topics such as religious fervor, theocracy, the importance of reputation, and even the city's problem with land disputes are discussed. Land disputes and other issues are power to gain tools that are important when considering the hidden motives of the

people of the town to start and continue the witch hunt. In the exposition the conflict appears first as man vs. society. With such a paranoid and unstable environment it is obvious that the protagonist will have to face the problems of society.

Upward action follows exposure and builds on it as it leads towards climax.

In The Crucible, the upward action is the scene in which Abigail and Betty first begin to accuse others of witchcraft. The beginning of the witch hunts is the upward action because it is the catalyst for the progression of history. Girls are able to not only deflect guilt but are also able to get a power they never possessed before. Most accusers are people who have no authority or respect in society, for example, Tituba is a slave of Barbados, but once the witch hunts begin, there is a fear of their mystical knowledge. She is able to scare her slave owner (Parris) with her visions of white men enslaved and tortured by the devil. Once the hysteria swept the city, these lower-class citizens had the opportunity to enact revenge. In the upward action scene Abigail has made this secret and beings to use it to their advantage; this scene is a change from the suspicious calm paranoid exposure and a push towards the climax that will be the effect of all this madness on the

protagonist.

The apogee is the moment of greatest danger for the protagonist. During the peak, it seems that failure is inevitable and that there is a difficult recovery to anticipate. In The Crucible is the scene in which Proctor, our protagonist, is accused of sorcery by his former ally, Mary Warren. Maria was the only hope of Proctor and Isabel to prevent the girls from pursuing the witch hunt by confessing that their visions and accusations were false. However, Mary Warren is a weak character who has been easily manipulated by Abigail since the beginning she, as Abigail is a lower class citizen, a single woman forced to work for others. During her trial, Mary Warren is unable to testify against Abigail and the other girls because, in doing so, she should admit her own guilt and reputation while giving her the opportunity to gain power. Mary Warren hides under the pressure of the immense new power of Abigail Williams. Mary turns back from Proctor, to join Abigail, in his moment of weakness. This act of treason puts the protagonist Proctor in a dangerous situation, since he is divided between the preservation of his reputation or the preservation of his life.

The falling action is the result of the climax which ultimately leads to the dissolution.

The falling action in The Crucible, Hale's plea to be signed with Proctor testifies that he himself is a witch while also condemning six other prisoners of witchcraft. To repeat the ritual of distracting the guilt by accusing someone else - the same cycle that occurred during the game. The scene in which Hale will talk with Proctor leads to the result and possible resolutions for the main danger of the climax. The falling action of Hales's plea sets the resolution, which will be the answer to this decision. Will Proctor blame the innocent to keep his name clean? More importantly, will the protagonist continue the cycle of false accusations? During the falling action, Hale is frantically looking for people to confess to the accusations of the court. Danforth and Hathorne are not in a position to accept that the judgments are erroneous, for the integrity of the court would be crushed and the theocracy would be questioned, and the religious order of Salem would be

crushed.

The purpose of the resolution is to solve the conflict and to create a messenger for the audience. Typically, the French word is derived from the Old French word, "to", and from nodus, Latin for "knot". Therefore, the purpose of the dénouement is to eradicate plot complications. Problem is opposed to society in the challenge because Proctor is able to ban society by choosing its false pressure cycle. He is willing to accept death rather than a false living. Proctor does not intend to transfer his own guilt and his willing to sign his own name and his identity. Earlier in the play, Proctor's desire to preserve his good reputation from a declaration against Abigail but now at the secret, Proctor can find what he means to be honorable and that he is well- his reputation. Proctor has been disrupted by his tragic fault, his eyes insightful to Abigail Williams and is able to recover his honesty and his goodness. As a survivor as a martyr, and in the sense of justice, the secret also shows that the unjust, Parris and Abigail have been destroyed by their guilt and Salem has fallen apart. The farms grew empty, showing how Proctor warriors died just ending and punished the wrong people
