War explored in The Crucible by Arthur Miller, "The Minister's Black Veil" by Nathaniel Hawthorne, "The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin, and Leap to Freedom by Kasenkina “Now every street and highway… was littered with the corpses of humans and animals… the wounded were left to die. Children were running frantically, screaming for their mothers… there was no food, water, soap or medical supplies. How polluted waters became carriers of disease (Kasenkina 93).” This is a typical war scene demonstrated in literary works. War is a very common, yet important topic and is generally demonstrated in plays, short stories, and novels. Some of the literary pieces in which war is shown include: The Crucible by Arthur Miller, "The Minister's Black Veil" by Nathaniel Hawthorne, "The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin and Leap to Freedom by Kasenkina these literary pieces war is shown as a horrible event that always has negative outcomes both physically than psychologically. In many literary works, including those mentioned above, the good results of the war are misrepresented and suppressed by the bad results of the war. To begin with, In Arthur Miller's The Crucible there was a war between neighbors. This literary work has strongly demonstrated both physically and psychologically hard results, while the good results were attenuated “…Think about it now, it is a thing as deep and dark as an abyss (Kinsella 1251). In this statement Giles was talking about how people don't get along and accuse each other of witchcraft. This is an introduction to the harsh physical consequences because people are tortured until they confess to being involved in witchcraft even if they are not. So if it is "proven" that they are witches but, ... middle of paper ... the good results of the war and they stop painting the war as a horrible event because the war brings out many great qualities in people making them fight for what they believe is right or simply by making them learn more about others and themselves.
