- 563: The History Of Religion
- ... be considered "fringe," and is often labeled as a cult. Although our Constitution protects our differing religious interests, it is surprisingly common to attack anyone, or any ideas that are different from our own. If John Calvin had lived in today's society, he might be considered a cult leader, similar to David Koresh. The word cult has been used very loosely during the past couple of decades. It has been ... to around 150,000 at any given time. History seems to repeat itself. In looking back through time, we can start to see a repetition in the ways and means of forming new religions. When John Calvin in 1534 hastily left town to avoid being caught on religious charges , he was probably thought to be in the throes of forming a new (and dangerous) religion. Martin Luther's attack on the ... humanity, human beings love power. It is in our nature to seek it, and once having the taste for it- to want more. Again, history has seen this all before.

- 565: The Crucible
- ... in pandemonium yet certain characters are also fighting internal conflicts of their own. Miller uses three characters who manifest this internal battle ever so clearly.

Mary ... and does what she wants. Mary Warren, along with many other girls gets caught up in the hype of getting all the attention and exercising power via initiating and adamantly continuing these "witch trials". Finally John Proctor, the rationalist, shows that when people like Rebecca Nurse and Elizabeth Proctor who are the saintliest of people are accused of being witches, something must be wrong. Mary Warren has a difficult decision to ... is now faced with yet another grueling internal conflict: to do what she knows is right and probably die for it, or to return to her old ways.

John Proctor a farmer and village commoner similarly is faced with an inner turmoil. He has ...
- 566: Fire and Water Imagery In Jane Eyre
- ... of following the rule of passion by marrying Rochester, which would have made her dependent on him and not his equal, or of living a life of complete renunciation of all passions, by marrying St John Rivers. Fire and water imagery symbolises the two forces competing for dominance in Jane Eyre, both on a personal and metaphorical level. Throughout the novel, such imagery is used by Brontë, in keeping with her ... novel progresses, the corresponding imagery changes to show different aspects of Jane's character. We see Jane's overly passionate nature through her punishment at Gateshead.

The colour red is significant here - red, the colour of fire and ... and Jane remains, which leaves the path open for reconciliation later in the book.
