Pronouns always refer to nouns - they are used to replace nouns, so that we don't have to repeat the same noun over and over again.

For example: Sarah didn't go to school today because she was sick.

Here, we have the noun Sarah and the pronoun she which refers to it; given that the noun is located in front of the pronoun, it is called an antecedent (ante in Latin means before).

i would like to compare these two interpretations of the crucible : 1) eric christ's interretation and wade bradford's interpretation. the main differences between there interretaions is that in the first one you can notice direct link to joseph mccarthy whereas the second one represents how the town is filled with hysteria.the second interpretation shows that author believes that the story   about puritan town in salem is based on actual events while the first example shows the sencible reference to sort of bias.
