The Crucible, The Shawshank Redemption and Where the Crawdads Sing (Leaving Cert English): Flashcards

Central ideas like justice, identity, power, isolation, resilience

Fear, pride, and reputation—not truth

'We burn a hot fire here; it melts down all concealment!'

By prejudice as 'Marsh Girl', not evidence

Through escape and personal retribution, not the system

Those who don't conform (Proctor, Giles, Elizabeth)

In nature and solitude, not human community

'Some birds aren't meant to be caged'

Death over signing false confession—honour over survival

'Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another!'

'Get busy living, or get busy dying'

Justice/injustice, isolation/belonging, strength/integrity

Surviving abandonment, building life in marsh independently

His dignity and hope over decades

Positive, negative, or ambiguous
