“THE CRUCIBLE” By ARTHUR MILLER

ESSAY QUESTION: “Miller tries to show that conflict in “The Crucible” stems from certain recognisable human failings such as greed, vengeance, jealousy, ambition, fear and hysteria.” Discuss this statement and, where possible, refer to specific instances from the play to support your argument.

Life as a human is dictated by an inborn hunger or purpose, and people, in general, will act on this hunger for their own personal gain in their individual ways. This hunger, be it for wealth, land, love, power, revenge, or pride, can, and will be the undoing or failing of all mankind as Miller so clearly points out in his play “The Crucible”. This essay will explore the motives of characters within the play and even the motives of Arthur Miller himself and therefore show how conflict stems from certain recognisable human failings including those mentioned above, fear, and hysteria.
