So far, we have looked at three different works (__The Crucible,__ "The Challenge," and "Philosophy as an Art of Dying") that are related to the consequences of standing up for one's principles or of choosing survival or other practical goods over those principles.

In each work we've studied, there are characters or historical figures caught in moral dilemmas. What are the different components of these dilemmas?There is a (1) character or historical figure who possesses (2) a personal conviction, epiphany, or principle that puts them in opposition to a (3) greater authority or governing institution. As a result of a (4) central decision or action that the character/historical figure makes, they must deal with the (5) consequences or outcome of their decision.

Example:

(1) Elizabeth Proctor (2) Her desire to protect her husband's reputation (3) The courts of Salem, Massachusetts, Reverend Danforth in particular (4) Following a moment of indecision, she chooses to lie about her husband's prior infidelity (5) She is imprisoned.
