Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!
In Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible," a powerful moment arises when a character passionately reflects on the significance of their name. This statement reveals their deep attachment to their identity and integrity. The character feels that their name is an intrinsic part of who they are, and losing it would mean losing a piece of their very soul. The struggle between personal integrity and societal pressures is central to this theme.
