Word Frequency in the Crucible

What can we deduce about the play from the Wordle?

There are quite a few ideas about the Crucible that we can deduce from this wordle. 

Firstly, we can see that the names of characters are quite frequent throughout the wordle. This is clear through the fact that many, if not most of the larger words, such as Proctor, Hale or Danforth are clearly (sur)names. Also, Proctor is the largest word on the wordle,meaning that it is the most frequent word throughout the play. This implies that Proctor is the protagonist in the Crucible, implicating that he features regularly throughout the play.

In this wordle, male characters are addressed by their surnames, whereas female character's are called by their first names. For, example, surname's such as Proctor, Danforth and Hale are all the last names of men and names such as Abigail, Mary and Elizabeth are all first names of females. From this we can tell that men were classed higher in society and were more respected and to show this, they would be called by their last names. 

 The Crucible seems to have a theme related to religion. This is demonstrated by words such as devil, church, pray and god featuring in the wordle. This leads us to think that Salem, at the time in which the play is set, was a very religious society, and it was part of people's nature to be religious and engage in religious activities.

We can also say that this play is very accusative. In a classmates blog, the word 'you' came up as one of the most used words, and using our background knowledge of the storyline behind this Crucible, we know what context 'you' is likely to be used in. Also, words such as confess and judge support this, seeing as they relate to accusative situations.
