This is all wrong. Arthur Miller wasn’t a Christian, and The Crucible isn’t a defence of 'Christian values'. John Proctor signs the confession, which he already sees as giving up his ‘soul’. He only jibs, finally, at having it made public; he dies for stubbornness and pride, the same reasons he refuses to intervene earlier.

thank you so much for this video! i'm in a production of the crucible as john proctor, and this has helped me so much in my characterization of him!

Oh thats not.. in the sense that

It's not a novel...it's a play

Talk faster, no one got time to listen to you ramble for 20 minutes

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation on how to think and writes a close up reading from a passage/text! Again, thank you!!!

John Proctor was my 10th Great Grandfather….

Such a blessing to hear. THANK YOU!

Miller's play (a great work) is BASED on the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. It's not intended as historical fact. The film is based on the play. Don't get what people are complaining about? Our teacher explained that to us.

Thank you so much 💓 very well explained 😊

YES your cat and mother will die, but it is NOT a NOVEL

well maybe, dont be so vague. Explain to the students what you just said. Dont get mad because people cant read your mind.

The top Nazis, which were Catholics and Jesuit operatives were never excommunicated from the church to this very day.

After the death of Otto Frank the Anne Frank Foundation finally came out and admitted that the Diaries were largely a work of fiction that were co-authored by Otto Frank. She was a child and did not have the writing skills that the book was finished in. Originally they were Diaries but towards the end of her life she said to her father that she wanted to turn it into a love novel.

What happened to the Jews and the other people were inquisitions. The Nazis were actually a revolutionary socialist Catholic theocracy masquerading as ultra-nationalists. Most of the Germans were Lutheran and Calvinists. The Vatican hated this and the assisted none to the hope witness the young twenty-nine-year-old Hitler getting direct orders to go and deal with the aesthetic Red Army as Heretics. In Austria there are a group called The Guelph group. Out of this the black nobility was born once the guelph's were split into the white and black guelphs. Dante was a white wealth that resented the overreach of the papacy.

And thanks to Richard McCarthy at APSI for these great ideas!

Packed full of insightful information! Thanks for the overview!

I dont think john proctor was a hero, he was a grown man grooming a child

Its a play

Hard to take this seriously when, in the opening statement, you call the play a "novel"!

Don't forget the many, many more millions that died in the Ukrainian Holodimor at the hands of the Communists. Including many Christians . I don't know why our public schools missed that. Joseph Stalin himself had executed 770,000 people . Even Alexander Solzhenitsyn the Russian dissident said it's a travesty that this history has been kept from many. The communist Mao murdered many more millions somewhere to the tune of 60 million. And now we have a socialist quasi Communist democratic party in America who have helped enshrine secularism as a religion in Washington. This country is in horrific shape.

Fire and Ice - biblical allusion

It was really great and it helped me a lot 😍😍 thank you so much🤍🤗

Great video! Thank you so much ❤ From Vietnam

Great video! It helped me understand the poem a bit more and made me realize how fun it can be to find out the meaning behind the poem!

As a educator, you should know this is a fictional story based on real people. John didn't even know Abigail in real life. John was a well respected man who lost his first two wives during childbirth. His third wife Elizabeth was accused first, when John spoke up in her defense, he was accused. The sheriff stole all of his possessions as they sat in jail in deplorable conditions. John was hung and Elizabeth was spared but only because she was pregnant at the time of the trials. She gave birth after the trials and named her son John. 18 people lost their father the day John was murdered. He did NOTHING to deserve what happened to him.

So helpful! I wish the google doc link still worked :-(

Great video your very underrated :D

this was so helpful, I needed refreshment on this topic. literally such good explaining; thank you so much. see what I did there(;

You kept me learning and engaged. Thank you for choosing to teach!!

I love the link in with math signs.

Ty! I've been struggling with my summer reading project for English 2, this really helped me with theme statements!

What’s the biggest tip for a slow reader. Always run out of time on the ACT READING. HELP! Help! Thanks in advance..

Should I read the passage and then answer the questions? Or should I read while answering the questions?

you made me realize i’m not immortal...

I got 5/5💃💃💃💃

Fun fact: During Salem's witch trials, historical Abigail was 11 and Proctor was 60. Elizabeth, his 3rd wife, was 41. Miller changed those ages to create sexual tension and to spin out a "why" this all happened. In actuality, we don't know what feelings sparked the witch craze.

🔥🙏🏼I thank God I found your video. Amazing

It's a great video, and it would be so useful for my students, but I wish she would avoid calling independent clauses - sentences.

John Proctor was my 9th Great Grandfather. Just found out the other day so of course I'm looking up everything I can about him.

Thank you so much! Absolute life saver!

John Proctors sister was my great great (and so on) grandmother :) thanks for this !!

thanks helped me alot😍😍

I enjoyed your comment on 'The Crucible' and its relation to the 1953 McCarthyism

Could you please give brief analysis and comment on 'Brave New World' and 'Cherry Orchard'

Lovely explanation of a wonderful and tragic story. Thank you dear lady.

So great, thank you! Have been trying to explain theme to my grade 12 students in a myriad of different ways. Loved that step 5. Will use this in my class for sure. thanks!

I want you to know that I do have a disability and it is known as down syndrome and I was in the play called the crucible I am going to try to find that audible version of this book. I also have the movie on VHS though but you need to know that the real John proctor what does not have an affair was Abigail Williams not at all. The movie said that he dead but the book said that he did that part was wrong I should know I was in the play at one point of my life and you would know that for certain go back and watch the real story of the crucible and the Salem witch trials and you’ll find out that John proctor wanted to disprove. Wanted to put a stop to these trials and also never had a relationship with Abigail Williams the movie showed that You need to know and your class should know the truth the movie exaggerated a lot of these things but according to your class you made it look like that everything was either. A sad ending or a good ending no all on the books has that I should know I do have a lot of audible books but I do respect you for honesty. You would know that the crucible and the story behind it was the real John proctor and also the movie version of John proctor that you would know. That Giles Corey was not very much a cooperative person I was very much argumentative people and don’t say that he was cooperative and it is wrong thinking to say that I’m just getting some thing to teach them or you can teach them about something like this Parent education special needs and self advocacy which is what my ministry is about I know that you are a teacher and I do have a disability and it is true in the name of my ministry is everlasting life ministerial work What you should do is tell them the truth educate them about the real past and you made John proctor out as a hero when he is not a hero when someone has flaws like you said that makes them as guilty as sin to looking the other way from his wife and committing luxury with Abigail Williams according to the novel in the play in the film when real wife this never happened I was like 80 years old or something or maybe younger than that

One of my favorite pieces of literature. Your commentary is INCREDIBLE! LOVED the perspective of all stories end in death and that's not sad at all. 💕💖 Thank you

Superb explanation with signs. Thank you Ma'am.
