The Crucibleby Arthur Miller

I have it from an honest man. . . .

1. How do persons define honor? What internal conflicts

do persons have about honor? Why is honor the source of

conflict with in or among persons?

2. Is human nature essentially brutish or selfish? In what

ways are characters savage, beastly, or self-serving, and

in what ways civilized, humane, or selfless? In what ways

do the good and bad aspects of human beings conflict?
