What poetic devices does Miller use to convey the overwhelming emotion of the meeting between Elizabeth and Proctor in Act IV? This scene is found on pages 58-60. When in your life have you been overwhelmed with emotion?
While Elizabeth and proctor have their conversation, A lot of dark elements came into play, He is being told that of all the sentences that the court had made. Arthur miller is using Elizabeth’s dark Point-of-view of the characters in the story, and she tells of their misfortune by means of 3rd person limited. I have only been in such a situation when I was little, I feared growing up, I feared the idea having to take up worldly responsibility. I also feared what my future had for me, how happy life would be, the day my dad almost died put me over the edge into thinking that everything would get worse down the road. that was the only time I ever was so overwhelmed with emotion.
That's very true, while this scene is one of the of the most emotionally charged scenes it also mentions many dark aspects of the plot the reader had not been aware of until that point. Also, I think most people our age go through that fear stage of growing up. Although, not everyone's dad comes close to dying. Even if things do get worse, you have to keep your head up.
