Hi again, just wondering if I could get some pointers for another question about 'The Crucible'.
'Texts provide profound insights into the human experience of connection'
To what extent is the above statement reflected within The Crucible and one related text.
For my related text I was thinking of looking at 'Caged Bird' Maya Angelou. I was also thinking of going with Abigail and her power in the court and use of manipulation but not sure how to link it. Any help would be great
Hey, zkaislsi!
Looks like you've got a great question going there
I think your related text would work nicely with
The Crucible. You could twist the question a little and instead look at how the texts explore the
absence of connection and meaningful human relationships which provide audiences with profound insights into the importance of having them. Common thematic links between the two texts that you could dive into include prejudice, marginalisation, oppression and struggle. If you wanted to look at power and manipulation, you could present yourself an interesting point of comparison between the texts; Abigail weaponises manipulation in order to gain and maintain power, whereas the persona in
Caged Bird seems to be facing the challenges that exist without it instead. Either way, both look at how a lack of connection can generate deeply personal motivations to break free. Hope that helps and let me know if you have any other questions!
Hello, for my mod A im doing Richard III and Looking for Richard, sadly I can't seem to find any sites online ( free ) that i'm able to stream looking for richard on, any tips and if you know where to watch for free, please link or let me know
Thank you very very much
Hey, Fluffysama_!
Great to hear that you're planning to look at the texts in advance! I can't seem to find any sites in particular that you can stream it for free on which is quite unfortunate. Perhaps someone else might know if they've managed to source it from somewhere. You could also ask your teacher where they got their copy from and get yourself one from there too. Hope that helps and feel free to ask more questions about Mod A if they pop up!
