A bunch of books, plays, etc. from England are usually read and discussed in English literature.  You can pretty much guarantee that Shakespeare will be read.

Do your own homework. If you had a question about one quote where I could believe that you read the play but forgot the context of a single line, I would help you. As it is, you need to do your own work. Them's the rules. \n\nFurther, your questions should read: Can I get what these quotes mean and WHO is speaking to WHOM? \n\nClearly, English is not your favorite subject. But suck it up. You deserve no credit for work you ask others to do for you.

I can give you the themes and you should be able to knock together your own essay:\n\nYou need to give it a modern twist - so how about comparing it to the current view of Muslims and terrorists (using the themes below). A certain A Grade.\n\n1) Intolerance\n\nThe Crucible is set in a theocratic society: the church and the state are one, religion is strict - known as Puritanism. moral laws and state laws are the same: sin and the status of an individual’s soul are matters of public concern. There is no room for deviation, since any individual whose private life doesn’t conform to the established moral laws represents a threat not only to the public good but also to the rule of God. In Salem, everything and everyone belongs to either God or the Devil; dissent is not merely unlawful, it is associated with satanic activity. This is underlying logic behind the witch trials. As Danforth says in Act III, “a person is either with this court or he must be counted against it.” The witch trials are the ultimate expression of intolerance (and hanging witches is the ultimate means of restoring the community’s purity.\n\nWE ARE INTOLLERENT OF MUSLIMS\n\n2) Hysteria - is tearing apart a community. Hysteria supplants logic and enables people to believe that their neighbors, whom they have always considered upstanding people, are committing absurd and unbelievable crimes—communing with the devil, killing babies, and so on. It also allows folk to air their pent up grievences and grudges.\n\nThe most obvious case is Abigail, who uses the situation to accuse Elizabeth Proctor of witchcraft and have her sent to jail. But others thrive on the hysteria as well: Reverend Parris strengthens his position within the village, albeit temporarily, by making scapegoats of people like Proctor who question his authority. The wealthy, ambitious Thomas Putnam gains revenge on Francis Nurse by getting Rebecca, Francis’s virtuous wife, convicted of the supernatural murders of Ann Putnam’s babies. In the end, hysteria can thrive only because people benefit from it. It suspends the rules of daily life and allows the acting out of every dark desire and hateful urge under the cover of righteousness.\n\nWE THINK ALL MUSLIMS ARE TERRORISTS\n\n3) Reputation\n\nReputation is tremendously important in theocratic Salem, where public and private moralities are one and the same. In an environment where reputation plays such an important role, the fear of guilt by association becomes particularly pernicious. Focused on maintaining public reputation, the townsfolk of Salem must fear that the sins of their friends and associates will taint their names. Various characters base their actions on the desire to protect their respective reputations. As the play begins, Parris fears that Abigail’s increasingly questionable actions, and the hints of witchcraft surrounding his daughter’s coma, will threaten his reputation and force him from the pulpit. Meanwhile, the protagonist, John Proctor, also seeks to keep his good name from being tarnished. Early in the play, he has a chance to put a stop to the girls’ accusations, but his desire to preserve his reputation keeps him from testifying against Abigail. At the end of the play, however, Proctor’s desire to keep his good name leads him to make the heroic choice not to make a false confession and to go to his death without signing his name to an untrue statement. “I have given you my soul; leave me my name!” he cries to Danforth in Act IV. By refusing to relinquish his name, he redeems himself for his earlier failure and dies with integrity.\n\nWE BELIEVE THAT MUSLIMS ARE BAD AS IT IS THE AMERICAN THING TO DO. OTHERWISE - WHAT OF THE REPUTATION OF OUR SOLDIERS IN IRAQ?

Well, I'm not sure which Act and Scene you're asking for, so I'll give you one from Act I's prologue. "From forth the fatal loins of these two foes / A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life." (line 6) The two foes are the Montagues and the Capulets, and what comes from loins? Babies! It's saying the children of these two deadly enemies will take their own lives (kill themselves) because of their star-crossed love (which was predetermined by fate).

my english teacher (a very old very ornery sort of guy) used to say that the only real witch in the crucible was Abigail.\n\nhe also had some other less than kind names for her, but i'll spare you those.\n\ni think most teachers will agree with him though, abigail williams was a rotten little brat girl who played a game she couldn't bear to lose and was too caught up in herself and her games to ever admit that she lied.\n\ninstead of taking the whipping she deserved she had innocent people murdered.\n\ndoes that sound like a victim to you?

Jealousy is referred to as the "green-eyed monster" in a Shakespearean play.  I'm not sure which play it is right now, although I want to say it's Othello.  It might be a reference to Shakespeare.

Shakespeare plays often used another location for issues to be resolved. It is a technique that he chose in order to separate from the place of conflict where the characters work their way through it to a resolution.  \n\nCheck out Cliff or Sparks Notes.  You should be able to do a search and get them online.  Sparks notees used to be free online, but I haven't used them in a long time.  Check it out.\n\nSue

I can't believe how many people use P.S.S.!!  \n\nPost Script Script makes absolutely no sense, people.\n\nIt is Post Post Script.  "Post" in this context means after.  So the text after the Post Script is the Post Post Script.\n\nP.P.S. all the way.  Everybody who thinks otherwise is just plain ignorant.

It's pretty hard to compare and contrast anything if you haven't read it, so I would suggest you read Midsummer Night's Dream, and get quotes that have something to do with your argument, instead of just soliciting any old quotes.
