  1. False Dilemma/ False Dichotomy Lauren Blevins Mandi Mckenzie

  2. Definition False Dilemma- A limited number of options (usually two) is given, while in reality there are more options. Also known as the either or fallacy.

  3. Picture Analogy This cartoon is showing how this man can go one of two ways and those are the only two choices he has. When in reality, he could actually have fulfillment and wealth when enough effort is put forward.

  4. Universal Example America, love it or leave it! This widely known phrase recognized by many Americans is presenting two options and that is it. Saying you have to love America or you have to leave. There is no mention of being able to change ways in America to improve or anything of that sort. It’s only simply stating love everything about it or get out, which is not logical.

  5. Example # 1 Act 1 Speaker: Parris "You will confess yourself or I will take you out and whip you to your death, Tituba!" This is an example of false dilemma in The Crucible because Parris is giving Tituba only two choices so if she don't want to get whipped to death then she will have to confess whether or not she was involved in witchcraft or not.

  6. Example # 2 • Act 3 • Pg. 213 • Speaker: Danforth • "But you must understand, sir, that a person is either with this court or he must be counted against it, there is no road between." • This is also an example of False Dilemma in The Crucible because Danforth is giving an either or decision. That your either with the court or your not.
