The Crucible: John Proctor Is A Tragic Hero
Words: 1446 - Pages: 6.... and freedom while he exists as a tragic hero.
The first stage in the process of establishing the tragic hero for
Miller was relaying the characteristics of John Proctor. It was essential
that Proctor be viewed as the so called "good guy" in the plot, one who
stands out or the audience can relate to. He is described as a "farmer in

The actors learned to look and to act like Indians which is what characterization is all about. Another reason to cast Eurocentric actors is there are many characters in the play. It would be very difficult to cast Indians in every role. Martinez even double and triple cast to accommodate for the many roles. This is a common occurrence in theater productions. I was not very impressed with the performances as different characters. It was difficult to distinguish one role from another. The Indians were dressed so similarly that it was difficul .....

Religion was also an important on Greek art. They gave many tributes to their gods and goddesses, which controlled many aspects of their lives.

The Setting In "A Doll's House"
Words: 162 - Pages: 1.... During this
time women were discriminated. against. This simple fact affects the whole
play's outcome. A young woman by the name of Nora is under the control of
her husband. He feels that he must rule her for he is the head of the
family. He would place small stipulations on her such as not being able
to eat macaroons. When she would make mistakes, he would refer to her by

All of these things mentioned ar due to the setting. This caused Nora
to want to leave more and more. I believe Ibsen picked this setting to
tell of how women were treated. .....

watching TV. The Addict lives hand to mouth from the potato chip bag. He is
lazy and will often go for hours without moving from the television.

average day the Addict will come home from work or school, put off all
responsibilities, and escape into the wor .....
