Miller uses poetic devices when Proctor and Elizabeth discuss about Proctor’s confession. They had a lot of emotion when they were talking. He uses a lot of pauses, such as when Proctor says “Aye. She will now let herself be drowned in the sea that threatens her. They come for my life now.” That long pause and Proctors thoughts were very poetic. They convey emotion and give another look into what he is thinking and what is happening. Miller also makes pauses when Elizabeth starts to cry and he describes her sobbing. His descriptions show and covey a lot of emotion.
I also have been in a situation where there were a lot of tension and emotion. One time is when I had to confront my niece about the cat that had just passed away. This reminds me of Elizabeth and Proctor even though it seems much different. In both situations, tears where present and there were many pauses. She asked questions similar to what Elizabeth asked John, such as “was that cat tortured or did she go through a lot of pain?” It was very hard to have this conversation with her. Another reason why it was so hard was because I let the cat outside that day. This is similar to when Proctor had to admit earlier to having an affair with Abigail and that it what started this whole thing. This was not directly my fault but if it wasn't for me, the cat would still be here today. Another time where tension and emotion was present was when I had to have a conversation with my dad about having a boyfriend. He used many pauses since he was mad that I did not tell him earlier.
