"As the curtain rises. Reverend Parris is discovered kneeling beside the bed, evidently in prayer. His daughter, Betty Parris, aged ten, is lying on the bed, inert."
This quote from the Crucible relates to The Scarlet Letter because Betty Parris is somewhat like Pearl in the Scarlet letter, and both daughters are serve as an important part of upon their family. Betty Parris and Pearl are also about the same age, which makes them even more related.
This also shows the religious side of The Crucible that relates to the Scarlett Letter. Reverend Parris is kneeling beside the bed and praying. This also shows how the Puritans are devoted to what they do and dont falter.
ReplyDeleteDespicte Betty Parris was somehow connecting to Pearl. I think Reverend Parris was like Hester, they both loved their children very much though they seemed to have very different personalities.
ReplyDeletesaying Betty and Pearl similar as a daughter is just like saying Dimmesdale is a reverend just like Parris.
