What 3 characters were wrongly put to death in the movie/play “The Crucible?”?
Wrongly as ineffectually, wrongfully as contrary to law or wrongfully as contrary to current morality? Wrongly: none. They all died. The result displayed the efficacy of the action. Wrongfully as contrary to law: none Wrongfully as contrary to current morality: all If a person is “wrongly” accused, the accusation is worded incorrectly. If that same person is “wrongfully” accused, the accusation is incorrect. “Wrongly”, as “Rightly”, is reserved for modifiers that follow an action. It is an adverb in the classic sense e.g.: I kicked the ball wrongly, and thereby lost the game. “Wrongfully”, on the other hand, connotes a value judgement on the preceding or following statement.
