The crucible brief context revision
Arthur Miller wrote The Crucible in 1953 as an allegory for McCarthyism during the 1950s. The play dramatizes the Salem Witch Trials of 1692-1693, where many were accused of witchcraft. Miller used the historical event to criticize the ways in which the House Un-American Activities Committee interrogated and accused people of being communists without evidence during the Red Scare. The Puritan society in Salem that fueled the witch trials is similar to the climate of fear and suspicion created by Senator Joseph McCarthy's accusations of communist threats.

Charge of the Light Bridgade
The Charge of the Light Brigade was a disastrous cavalry charge during the Crimean War in 1854. Lord Cardigan led 600 British cavalrymen in a frontal assault against Russian forces, obeying a misunderstood order. Two thirds of the Light Brigade were killed or wounded in the attack, which rode straight into the enemy guns. Tennyson's poem praises the courage and loyalty of the soldiers, who knowingly followed what was likely a flawed command, riding to their deaths. It highlights their bravery and sense of duty above all else, cementing the charge as a symbol of military sacrifice.

Medusa
- 1. Poetry Across Time: Character and voice Medusa A suspicion, a doubt, a jealousy grew in my mind, which turned the hairs n my head to filthy snakes, as though my thoughts hissed and spat on my scalp. My bride’s breath soured, stank in the grey bags of my lungs. I’m foul mouthed now, foul tongues, yellow fanged. There are bullet tears in my eyes. Are you terrified? Be terrified. It’s you I love, perfect man, Greek God, my own; but I know you’ll go, betray me, stray from home. So better by far for me if you were stone. I glanced at a buzzing bee, a dull grey pebble fell to the ground. I glanced at a singing bird, a handful of dusty gravel spattered down. I looked at a ginger cat, a housebrick shattered a bowl of mil. I looked at a snuffling pig, a boulder rolled in a heap of shit. Key Language: connotation, imagery, metaphor, simile Structure and form: stanzas, type, patterns, contrast, juxtaposition Poetic methods: alliteration, caesura, assonance, rhythm, rhyme Character and voice: who is speaking and to whom? Tone of voice Links: comparisons to other speakers, methods and themes Lang – simile shows intensity of feelings makes thoughts a reality. Sibilance – reflects venomous thoughts and hissing of snakes – how many there are. Metaphor – image of war reflects anger and a wish to get revenge. Sarcastic tone as he does not live up to this ideal – no man does for her. Repetition of personal pronoun – she feels that she deserves to be selfish and take revenge. Images of carefree summer days – that joy is gone. Juxtaposition between the beauty of nature and the cold, hard, man Pets and buildings – symbols of domestic bliss and something she craved once. Emphasises innocence/ unsuspecting nature of the creature/men before being turned to stone A colloquial expletive that shocks the reader and matches the feeling of the victim.
- 2. I stayed in the mirror. Love gone bad showed me a Gorgon. I stared at a dragon Fire spewed from the mouth of a mountain. And here you come with shield for a heart and a sword for a tongue and your girls, your girls. Wasn’t I beautiful? Wasn’t I fragrant and young? Look at me now. Mythical creatures to be feared – she means to cause as much harm as possible. Repeated alliteration in the poem indicates that the persona is stuttering in passion and anger. Repetition reveals bitterness as she is no longer ‘his’ girl. Reminiscent of flowers – something fragile, feminine and beautiful – ironic as the opposite now. Interpretations of the Poem: A comment on how love does not always bring happiness. A lesson about what hate and jealousy can do to a person. An exploration of the mind of a spurned woman.
