Thus introducing Antonio to Ultimas paganistic ways which is causing him to not only explore more of his beliefs, but Antonio is discovering many ideas that go against the Catholic religion. This causes him to not only question his beliefs but to explore other cultures as well as determine which religious ideas he decides to pursue. The presence of Ultima has a positive effect on Antonio,

They have confessed it" (Miller 17). Hale becomes suspicious of John Proctor as to why he decided to tell him that the girls were lying at that time. Hale believes he is right about the people he examined for witchcraft. They confessed and did not get a harsh punishment. In the era of McCarthyism, people who confessed to being communists did not get much charged upon them.

Antonio’s cultural identity revolves around his religion because it forces him to grow up, which causes him to view life in a different perspective. Antonio was a child that had to experience death at a young age. Antonio has also maintained a close relationship with Ultima, who was seen as evil to some; for example, there is Tenorio who despises Ultima for cursing his daughter and forcing death upon her. Ultima was called names such as a “Bruja” which meant a witch or an evil human being.

For centuries , witches have been stoned to death and burned alive simply for being able to create magic . The notion of witches have been a taboo subject that most people would try to avoid but William Shakespeare did not make their reputation any better by depicting them as malicious and demonic in his famous play ‘ Macbeth’ which a lot of people tried making movies of . Despite bearing some similarities between the three videos in which the witches were in , the differences are profound . To start with , there are quite some similarities between the witches in the three movies . In George Wright’s , Rupert Goold’s , and Kurzel’s movies , all of the witches seemed to say the same lines , despite them being from different timelines .

”(Miller 100). At that point in time Mary Warren and John Proctor both tried to prove Abigail Williams and the other girls of faking it until, act 4 when she backstabbed John Proctor and made her own claim that John Proctor was satan. ”You’re the devil’s man.” (Miller 110). Mary knows what Abigail was always a threat and being on her side was an advantage, John Proctor was foolish for thinking Mary would keep her word and tell on the girls.

The most notable martyr, though, is John Proctor. Throughout The Crucible we witness Proctor’s personality and character change for the better because he chooses to follow his core beliefs. Proctor is put in a very difficult situation. He is accused of practicing witchcraft, and though the evidence given was false, he has to choose one of two options- admit to practicing witchcraft or fight for his beliefs and keep his reputation from being tainted. Proctor chooses the second option as he believes that is right thing to do.

Finally, through John Proctor tries to tell the truth about Abigale and the girls, Elizabeth Proctor supporting her husband choice even though they have children to raise, and Giles Corey rather be pressed than lie about being a part of witchcraft it is clear the fundamental subject is courage. Nevertheless, The Crucible is a great reading that is not historically accurate, but simply describes the time of hysteria and the decisions people would make during the

Another example of situational values making a change for the better is through Revered John Hale and his regret in his initial decisions. He comes to Salem as a partisan of Christianity and sets the hysteria in motion; starting to question all of the residents and their ways of life. He serves as the catalyst of the conflicts surrounding witchcraft in Salem, however his values change as his trepidation grows. Hale enters Salem with confidence in his expertise in witchcraft to examine Betty, Reverend Parris’s daughter. As time passed and the calumny of the girls became of a grand scale, Reverend Hale was one of the few who were able to save themselves from falling victim to the spread of the madness.

Penalties for the practice of witchcraft was usually believed by many famous and important people to be an impossible crime, that was replaced by penalties for the lie of witchcraft. The witchcraft of 1735 stayed in force in Britain into the 20th century, because of the illegal ways of telling witchcraft of 1951. (Wikipedia)

We are intrigued by the finale – when finally “Amrit” (Nectar) came up. “Amrit” literally means something which maintain one immortal. Commonly, Gods and evil spirits were in a distraught scramble for it and before anything could happen, Lord Vishnu, in the appearance of a lovely lady (“Mohini”) took it in her care and asked Gods and devils to sit in two lines, with the goal that she could convey “Amrit” to them. The Gods realized what was going on and the evil presences that did not, were so enamored by the conjurer that they promptly consented to do her offering.

“Antonio, I cannot tell you what to believe. As you grow into manhood you must find your own truths—“(119). In the book [Bless Me Ultima] she is looked at as a witch by some and a healer by others. This is an example of what Ultima meant about growing up and finding your own beliefs, example of what Ultima meant about growing up and finding your own beliefs about Ultima and what she is. In the comic books Batman is a hero but also considered as a villain some people because of how he looked and did things.

Calling them ““cultists,” “conmen,” “zombies,” and victims of “brain-washing”” (Arnold 24). All of which were extreme and an outside perspective. The Davidians were already expecting one last drastic battle as foreseen through David Koresh’s prophecy. Therefore the ATF were giving the Davidians precisely what they wanted, intentionally or not, as it says in this quote “but if negotiators fully understood the importance of the biblical text to the Davidians, they may have convinced them to leave Mt.
