To you alone.
(1.4.58-60)

Goliath. The story of David and Goliath is quite possibly one of the
oldest child hero stories. It was part of the Bible, in the Old Testament.
In this story a young man named David proposes to the king of Israel that

Images implied in the last stanza are those o .....

However, when the fire is extinguished, the fantasy world is up in smoke and all that remains are the painful ashes of the past.

The Crucibles Verbal Irony
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 717.... that no one has seen. But to read Miller, one must be more perceptive, and in examining this quote by Parris, there is another meaning behind it. As most know of the Salem witch trials, they specifically know the unjust and misled court system that was used to accuse the witches. The words uttered from Parris’ mouth at that instance are so contradictory of the court and ironic that from a reader’s standpoint, one is mixed between the emotion of laughter and tears. For the knowledge of the witch trials would allow one to know that they were nothing but a hoax. .....
