Crucible
The (name “ Salsa Dancing Umpa Lumpa’s”) theater troop decided to specifically focus our acting talents on the last scene of the Crucible.  We chose this scene because although it may not be the most invigorating to watch it has very deep ties to the theme of loyalty.  If you watch closely you will be able to see that more than one character is used by the author to demonstrate loyalty.  Proctor demonstrates loyalty to his morals by not agreeing to sign the confession however; he also is loyal to his friends and peers in the play.  He refuses to name anybody of being a witch.  He knows that although he may hang for it, it is better to leave the innocent alone.  Elizabeth, Proctor’s wife shows loyalty for her husband by allowing him to do what needs to be done.  She does this by not convincing Proctor to damn himself for her emotional betterment.  Finally, Hale shows loyalty to those that relied on him by returning to Salem in an attempt to save their lives.  Enjoy (the salsa Dancing Umpa Lumpa ) theatre troop’s  interpretation of the last scene in the crucible.  For you to follow on we will start on page 138  and end on page 145.  Make sure you pay attention to the theme of loyalty littered throughout the scene.

As humans on this world we make mistakes.  It is how we individually compensate and recover from the numerous mistakes in our lives that infinitely determines our valor.   In the quote it is emphasized that “a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong.”  From this Sophocles shows that if a man both acknowledges and attempts to compensate for the destruction he has wrought with his mistake he is deemed purified morally and without evil.  This quote and its meaning can be used to evaluate the goodness of the character named John Proctor in the Crucible. As a man John makes numerous mistakes during his duration in the Crucible, however it is his willingness to wander into the problem hoping to find both resolution and understanding that defines him.  Pride is what blocks mankind from seeing our individual flaws, and therefore pride prohibits us as a species from considering the devastation we promote. John Proctor is not without his pride, however in the way he repairs his sins he is indeed without evil in his mind, body, and spirit.

In the Crucible much like in present day life, men succumb to weakness and inevitably sin.  Proctor commits adultery, Hale encourages the witch hunt, even Giles assists in the imprisonment of his wife.  Nobody in the play or real life is without mistakes.  It is how a person reacts to those mistakes that determines if they are evil or just morally unstable, otherwise known as being human.  If a man recognizes his faults and attempts to repair the damage he not only goes against his natural self but also that of his society.  To even attempt to save others from previous mistakes made is in itself a show that the person is not without conscience.  The only true way someone may be considered to have evil is if their pride and willingness to be superior prevents them from doing what is necessary to repair and mend the destruction they had previously made.  Many of the characters choose to follow their conscience instead of their pride in the Crucible and for that they must be recognized for who they are.  They are good people.
