"Mankind will reject and kill their prophets, but men love their martyrs and honour those whom they have done to death" What do these 4 have in common? They are all Martyr's, which is a person who died for a cause. Jesus died for our sins. Socrates was accused of piety and corrupting youth and was brought to trial. It was said he did not recognize the gods of the city (Athens) and introduced new ones. A trial was held and a jury found him guilty & sentenced him to death. Mohandas Ghandi was assassinated while he was walking to a platform from which he was to address a prayer meeting After years of fighting for civil rights, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated before he could see what his work has done.

In __The Crucible__, There is a very good example of Martyrdom. Instead of saving his life, John Proctor denied that he was a witch because he wanted to protect his name & he was killed for doing it. And there are still examples of Martyrdom to this very day and will continue for years to come.
