Essential Questions What is the importance of individuality? Ralph Waldo Emerson, from Self-Reliance, p. 393 How can people use their power to make a difference in their lives and the lives of others? What are the risks and rewards of using the power of the individual? Quotations The closer a man approaches tragedy the more intense is his concentration of emotion upon the fixed point of his commitment, which is to say the closer he approaches what in life we call fanaticism. Arthur Miller Whatever hysteria exists is inflamed by mystery, suspicion and secrecy. Hard and exact facts will cool it. Elia Kazan I am not sure what The Crucible is telling people now, but I know that its paranoid center is still pumping out the same darkly attractive warning that it did in the fifties.
