The crucible

The Crucible The Crucible is a play written by Arthur Miller. It is about a time of everyday people who use lying as a weapon while saying they are pure and religious. This story is a prime example of how people will do anything to get what they want, even if it means hurting other people. This story is about a handful of girls who use other people to save themselves. These girls were caught …

…they started to blame the mayors wife. After that the judge finally relized that all of the girls have told nothing but lies and innocent people died for nothing. That was the end of the Salem witch trials. This story was a good example of how life was back then, and how everyone thought they could have their way. The Salem witch trials killed hundreds of innocent people who died by nothing more than lies.
