What has become of them.
Oct 14 2008, 3:57 PM EDT
In the beginning of the curcible everyone does what there were intended to do, and that is work and pray. everyone seems to repeat the same thing every day even though some had issues with one another that they believe needed to be resolved they tend to keep it all to themselves. That is untill Mr. proctor has done the unthinkable among salem and that is commiting adultery with Abigail. Over time Abigail, with her false love for Proctor from that very night damned Mrs. Proctor into death within some sort of ritual TItuba was conducting with the other girls one night just to have Mr. Proctor all to herself, and then all hell broke loose when Parris witnessed the event and the lies and accusations began to stir all around Salem. Unfortunately it all ended with the deaths of twenty-four people, but seeing the behavior throughout the story of the characters and those who weren't presented in thestory, created a great aspect to the one question I wish to hear, was it in the end that I have seen not humans, but animals. Although man may be the dominant species of this planet we tend to see ourselves as gods yet that is what brings us to our own demise. What has become of salem is now a look back on humanity losing their humanity for the sake of satisfaction oin security from false demons. Every man has thier demons but also their angels and from this play/movie I only saw their demons consuming thier good in them and see beasts among the people of salem However, the condemned were those I was actually intrigued about. They were the ones who never dared to lose their humanity and died as not as animals nor gods but as humans yet that has brought them to the realization the their is no such witch out there but in the people of salem and seeing that led them to their deaths. So what has become of the people of Salem during and after the tragic event of the infamous Salem Witch Trial. please share me your own opinions and if you have questions about my opinions, ask.

hey dude this was awsome seriously i just got done watchin like 4 movies one bein alice n wonderland so my mind is all boggled and ready to think.haha i love this because u basicaly called humans animals in a sense we all are animals, mind twistin beast.every monster in myth we can name is derived from an aspect of human nature,apperance, or even feeling.this in all mythology from american to indian to greek to whatever our monsters our ourselves.not the animals we attemped to make them look like. minitours for example half MAN half bull but the bull isnt the other half to represent an animal its there to represent the brut strenght, rage, power, and mercilesness of the creature combined with a man highlighting our true inner however present selves.so indeed we are like animals. Another thing i liked u used from class when we talked about us getting confussed with bein gods ourselves.In my opinion there is a god but i wish nothing more then to call him by a more appropriate name because to me the word GOD is initials for something that allows us to at times become so selfish and riddled with power that we make ourselves Gods. this may sound funny but god is indeed a man made word correct? god didnt come down n introduce himself to us like oh hello my name is god blah blah blah. i take these 3 letters and the only words i see is government over democracy.As i said this is solely in my opinion but this can be said in a number of ways im takin the more modern approch however. I belive this is why we get the sense we can just play god and play like we created everything and we can at any point in time take it back when in fact we cannot.we put our highest selves up on a stand and from that point whomever holds the greatest power over people we allow to convince and hypnotize the rest to follow or belive as they belive. even durin the witch trials u see how brainwashed we were. we did what made the men of power look good rather then be HUMAN we were animals. 1 out of 1 found this valuable.
