The witch trials in this play were based on actual events that happened in Salem in 1692. Arthur Miller’s 1953 The Crucible is a dramatization of the Salem Witch Trials. His reasoning for writing it was because everyone was hysteric about the Soviet Union and communism trying to make its way over to the United States. It was like a modern day witch hunt.

Throughout the story a group of girls makes accusations a mass of people of practicing witchcraft, one of the worst crimes to commit during that period, and people are being sentenced to hang for denying witchery.

Arthur Miller demonstrates that one of the lessons implied in the story is people’s character and how it affects those people and others. Examples of character are Giles Corey, John Proctor, Abigail Williams.

Though we often like to think of people as being simply good or simply bad, people are, in reality, much more complex. Mr. Royall in Summer by Edith Wharton is an excellent example of just how complex humans can be. Mr. Royall is the guardian of Charity Royall, whom he brings down from the mountain. Throughout the novel, Mr. Royall displays some incredibly negative traits as well as incredibly positive traits in his interactions with Charity which leave us, as readers, confused as to whether or not he is to be liked. Overall, Mr. Royall proves himself to be very conventional, lonely, but also quite caring--traits that cause him to act in a positive manner sometimes and in an erratic manner at other times.

The townspeople of Salem are going through a day people are courageous even in a way others could not be or were never suppose to be. Those characters display their courage in the town at the time of need, John Proctor is a selfless man when only stating

Our actions and interactions with others and society are what define us. Society’s perception of an individual may contrast with that individual’s perception of self. Our actions and interactions with others create certain stigmas which may not change despite progression and change an individual has undergone. But however at the end of the day we are our own creators and we chose who we interact with.
