- 1691: Good And Evil In The Crucible

The strict society that was employed at this time had a detrimental effect on the Proctor family. John Proctor, a hard working farmer who had a bad season the year before and struggling this year was occasionally absent at Sunday service. This was due to the fact he needed to tend to his crops. Also, Proctor did not agree with the appointment of Mr. Parris as the newest minister, and therefore did not have his last child baptized. With the latest craze of witchery and swirling accusations, John Proctor was easily indicted of being a messenger for the devil by the testimony of his disillusioned servant Mary Warren, who in the past committed perjury.

- ... King Lear (1605?), Macbeth (1606?), and Antony and Cleopatra (1606?) look deeply into the springs of action in the human soul. His earlier dark tragedies were imitated in style and feeling by the tragedy author John Webster in The White Devil (1612) and The Duchess of Malfi (1613-1614).

The dialogue in which many of the characters voice their pretensions ridicules the artificially ornate, courtly style typified by the works of English novelist and dramatist John Lyly, the court conventions of the time, and perhaps the scientific discussions of Sir Walter Raleigh and his colleagues.
