[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) Is it some tragic theme, of humanity, that

does literature just reflect the consistent
foibles, or "the potholes" in the human road?

1953 play the Crucible. We will look at this
reversal of morality in the characters of John
Proctor and Rebecca Nurse in this discussion.
