John's Acceptance: A Short Story

In the story “By the Waters of Babylon” the author revolves around the destruction of human civilization caused by World War II. Stephen Benet shows you the possible threats and dangers of war destruction, which comes to the theme of the story: the outcome and dangers of war. The readers learn in the story that this is long after human inhabitation and humans could be considered as “Gods” during this point in time. Whilst John (the main character of the story) is going east, where he is forbidden to go he enters a place, long ridden of the gods, which we know as New York City. It shows that even one of the largest and brightest cities known to man has also turned to rubble and fragments of buildings.

Life can change someone and it can either make or break you sometimes but you just have to do whats right and hope for the best. Throughout this play John was a great example for real life instances. All of us have lied and done things we shouldn’t do but John overcame his old self and became a better person. He was cruel and mean and he didn’t care if he was involved or not. All that he cared about was himself. In the end he was sincere and and stood up for what was right he no longer cared about what others thought. He turned from the guy everyone didn’t like into the huge hero of the story.

Analyze how the strong personal voice of a narrator helped you to understand a theme in the written text.

What would you do if you were involved in hysteria? How would you try to stop it from hurting the people who are most important to you?

In the play The Crucible by Arthur Miller, John Proctor was accused of witchcraft. John Proctor was a man of great integrity and knew he did nothing wrong. He was given the choice to confess and lie or be hung. Being the honest and stubborn man that he was, he decided his name was more important than his life. John struggled both internally and with others while trying to fight for what he thought was right.

Overall, Acts One and Two of The Crucible were very well written and achieved the author’s purpose of expressing the unreasonableness of McCarthyism at the time while keeping the audience entertained.One way Miller was able to accomplish this purpose was through developing the individuality of characters. I really liked how he made each character have a very individual personality. Miller developed these personalities through the dialogue between characters and also with authorial intrusions and stage directions. One example of this is when Mary Warren says, “Abby, we’ve got to tell. Witchery’s a hangin’ error, a hangin’ like they done in Boston two year ago! We must tell the truth, Abby! You’ll only be whipped for dancin’, and the other things!”

Imagine being viewed by the world as different. Wouldn’t you want the people around you to understand?

John Proctor’s abusive nature toward Elizabeth epitomizes the prominence of patriarchy and his strong self loathing. John Proctor is undoubtedly an individual who is tormented.

While it is true that he committed adultery, he believes there is no way that he can ever forgive himself and punishes himself mentally for what he has done.

Theme: This further exemplifies the separation in John marriage, as he doesn’t even feel comfortable sharing thoughts with his long time wife.

God: God is known in John by two ways, “the Father who sent” Jesus (5:37), and as “the Father of the Son” (5:17-23). In the gospel of John writing God, does not become the center of focus.
