Notes on Arthur Miller's "The Crucible" and "A View from the Bridge: " In essence, "The Crucible" asks: What happens when truth threatens God and the state? "A View from the Bridge" asks: What happens when truth threatens masculinity and honor?

"I believe that the common man is as apt a subject for tragedy in its highest sense as kings were."

[NYTimes-Archive]: Tragedy and the Common Man. By Arthur Miller, February 27, 1949

“DANFORTH: Then explain to me, Mr. Proctor, why you will not let—
PROCTOR, with a cry of his whole soul: Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!”
Excerpt From
The Crucible
The Penguin Arthur Miller Centennial, 1915-2015
“DANFORTH, to Proctor: What are you? Proctor is beyond speech in his anger. You are combined with anti-Christ, are you not? I have seen your power; you will not deny it! What say you, Mister?
HALE: Excellency—
DANFORTH: I will have nothing from you, Mr. Hale! To Proctor: Will you confess yourself befouled with Hell, or do you keep that black allegiance yet? What say you?
PROCTOR, his mind wild, breathless: I say—I say—God is dead!”
Mass hysteria --and just like ICE, DHS.
“PROCTOR: Giles! What’s the matter?
GILES: They take my wife.
Francis Nurse enters.
GILES: And his Rebecca!
PROCTOR, to Francis: Rebecca’s in the jail!
FRANCIS: Aye, Cheever come and take her in his wagon. We’ve only now come from the jail, and they’ll not even let us in to see them.
ELIZABETH: They’ve surely gone wild now, Mr. Hale!”

"A child’s spirit is like a child, you can never catch it by running after it; you must stand still, and, for love, it will soon itself come back.”
Excerpt From
The Crucible

"The witch-hunt was a perverse manifestation of the panic which set in among all classes when the balance began to turn toward greater individual freedom.
When one rises above the individual villainy displayed, one can only pity them all, just as we shall be pitied someday. It is still impossible for man to organize his social life without repressions, and the balance has yet to be struck between order and freedom."

I’m so proud of how deeply my students think.
"I have been falsely accused before and I would be upset if i were in a situation like the Salem Witch Trials. It must’ve felt mentally exhausting to be antagonized just for existing."
