The Crucible Continued

After two days of student-led presentations, we still have a lot to say about The Crucible. While I am asking you to write a formal response as part of your summative grade for the discussion, I also want to encourage you to continue your discussion of the text as a class. Please respond with one specific piece of textual evidence that you think illustrates an important duality or paradox in The Crucible. We have spoken, for example, about light and dark, morals and laws, the Church and witchcraft, the town and the forrest, etc. Jung's archetypes may (or may not) be useful in considering the symbolic nature of some of these dualities, but what does examining these dualities or paradox contribute to your overall understanding of the play?
