The Crucible

All of it resolves around the story written by Arthur Miller in a play, The Crucible taking place within colonial Massachusetts - 1692. It describes one of the people as suspected witch, someone who was believed to be use magic making a deal with devil. The story starts with some girls being caught dancing in the woods at night, something very strange and forbidden. A rumor circulates and ambushes circular style, it is said that these girls were practiced to be witches. Before long, more and more girls join in to accuse seemingly innocent people all over town of being witches as well. The protagonist, John Proctor does his best to stop the chaos and confusion prevailing in town. But John has secrets of his own-including the one thing that could put Billy and Rusty at risk-so keeping her safe may be more difficult than he planned.

Most of the activities that precede The Crucible are actually correct. The depth of belief settled upon witches by 17th c. led to an astonishing general witch hysteria, most convincingly demonstrated in Europe and across the New England colonies during 1620s until around late1700's this was often used as attacks against women who did practices they others believed where considered unacceptable. The great town of Salem Massachusetts in 1692, weird and unexplained things started to occur and the first thought was that it must be witchcraft doing this. This idea would eventually lead to the commencement of the Salem Witch Trials, during which many innocent people were accused with charges that could ultimately have been their end. Unfortunately 20 of people were executed from this trials so the meaning is that they killed based on lies.

The Events Leading to The Crucible.

The setting of The Crucible as the backdrop or background is the Puritan society in colonial Massachusetts. The Puritans were a sect of folks who pretty much followed their very specific religious beliefs and rules. They were highly distrusting of anyone who diverged at all from their norms. The Puritans were also terrified of the devil and anything witch-related. The repression nurtured a climate of fear that made the outlandish claims against witches acceptable and plausible. Rapid racial offensive falsely accused mistreatment and terror amongst the people of colour in society.
