The audience for this paper should be one who has read the story
through once but has not yet studied it to understand it on a deeper
level.

Your paper will be analytical in purpose. This means
that your ultimate goal is to choose significant moments, quotes, or
techniques from the play, present them, and explain how they work
together to create larger meaning. Your paper will analyze three related
conflicts from The Crucible by Arthur Miller.

Your three
conflicts must be related. For example, you could write about three
conflicts within one character, such as Proctor’s conflict with the
court or “justice” in general, Proctor’s interpersonal conflict with
Abigail, and Proctor’s internal conflict of guilt. Or, you could write
about three characters (perhaps Mary, Elizabeth, and Proctor) who
conflict with the court. You will explore one conflict per body
paragraph. Each paragraph will:

• Summarize: Explain the conflict.
• • Which three conflicts will you write about?
  • Are they between two people? A person and an idea? A person and their conscience?
  • Think about what the conflict means. What is the author trying to say about life, truth, humanity, paranoia or another theme?
  • Think about how the conflicts relate to and build on the others.
  • Gather supporting quotes from the play (at least two per conflict).
• Discuss the scope: Is the conflict between two people? A person and an idea? Or between the person and their conscience?
• Interpret:
  What does this conflict mean? What is Miller using this conflict to say
  or show about life, truth, humanity, paranoia, or another theme?
• Relate: How do these conflicts relate to and build on the others?
• Support: Use at least two quotes from the play.

Your
conclusion will tie all of these conflicts together. Your body
paragraphs should build into an insight, or an overall message or theme
that Miller conveys through The Crucible. Your conclusion will vary
depending on what conflicts you choose. Do all the conflicts relate to
one theme, like “justice” or “paranoia”? Or do they show how a character
changes over the course of the story? A summary of your paper will not
be sufficient for your conclusion ­ you must discuss what the conflicts
mean.

This essay should be between three and five pages (750-­1250
words) in length. Your final draft should be saved and submitted as
.doc or .pdf file. It should be in 12­-point font in Times New Roman.
