Hai, selamat siang semuanya, selamat datang
di blog mimin yang tentunya terus berusaha untuk memberikan informasi terkait
dunia pendidikan yang insyaallah bermanfaat untuk kita semua. Okedeh, langsung
aja di edisi kali ini mimin bakal ngebahas analisis cerita dan juga tema
didalam “The Crucible” karya Arthur Miller. So, without doing further do, lets
check it out guys!!
The Crucible is a play written by Arthur Miller about the
Salem witch trials of 1692. In which, in the story Reverend Parris finds some
girls dancing naked in the forest, who claim they were bewitched. In the
beginning of the story, it starts with the situation where in the home of
Reverend Parris, whose daughter Betty lies unconscious and appears very ill.
In the story, there is conflict between Mary Warren and
Abigail and Mercy. Mercy suspects that Mary is going to tattle on them for the
things they did in the woods. Mary tries to encourage Abigail and Mercy to
confess to dancing, as they'll "only be whipped" for it.
Further, the primary Man vs. Self conflict is illustrated
through John Proctor's internal struggle to save his reputation or challenge
the corrupt court and put an end to the witch trials. John Proctor desires or
wants to protect his reputation but ultimately admits to adultery in hopes of
undermining Abigail's authority.
Meanwhile, the Crucible story itself ends with John Proctor
marching off to a martyr's death. By refusing to lie and confess to witchcraft,
he sacrifices his life in the name of truth. At the end of the play, Proctor
has in some way regained his goodness.
In addition, if we are talking about the theme, so, in The
Crucible, the idea of goodness is a major theme. Almost every character is
concerned with the concept of goodness, because their religion teaches them
that the most important thing in life is how they will be judged by God after
they die.
And here is some quotations that has
been analyzed.
"I
do not judge you. The magistrate sits in your heart that judges you. I never
thought you but a good man John."
–Elizabeth
–Act 2
From
that quotation, we can see the Elizabeth character as Superego regarding to the
Freudian Psychoanalysis, because she knows the difference between right and
wrong and she is very un-judgemental.
"I
know how you clutched my back behind your house and sweated like a stallion
whenever I come near! Or did I dream that? It's she put me out, you cannot
pretend it were you. I saw your face when she put me out, and you loved me then
and you do now!".
–Abigail
–Act 1
Meanwhile,
this quotation shows Abigail as ID, in which that Abigail desires John Proctor
and does not think about how her lust would affect anyone except for herself.
