Tragic Triumph

... (142). And so, with
these words, the first provision of a tragedy is furnished.
Miller spares us the full repercussions of Proctor’s decision by ending the play before the
hangings. Still, it is evident what the consequence of Proctor’s insistent grip on integrity will be:
death. I find it much more fitting that Miller excludes the most disparaging part of the play and
instead instills in our minds the positive side. Elizabeth plants the seed of this thought when she

Analysis Of Similes In The Ill
Number of Words: 1870 / Number of Pages: 7
... Trojan side had been lost.
Considering the ability to affect feelings with similes, and
the one-sided view of history, Homer could be using similes to
guide the reader in the direction of his personal views, as
happens with modern day political "spin". These views that Homer
might be trying to get across might be trying to favor Troy. It

attempting to balance the scales a bit by romanticizing the
Trojan peoples, especially Hector, and bringing to light the
