When we think of the United States we think of

people have been removed from their home land,
forced to travel thousands of miles under harsh
conditions just so settlers could push on to the

End Of The Play Rebecca Nurse

Arthur Miller wrote The Crucible in response to a
period in American history when there was

Trials. Salem was governed as a Theocracy, rule by
God or a priestly order. In this time many
innocent people were tried and hanged for
witchcraft. A crucible is a severe trial. In the
play the whole community had been thrown into
pandemonium, but a few characters are also

Early Modern Europe 16 Th And 17
865 words
In a history class last year, I was made aware of
a movement from some radical feminist groups that
claimed the slaughter of innocent women in the 16
th and 17 th century witch trials as a parallel to
the misogynistic persecution they perceive as an
integral part of culture today. The use of the
inquisition of witches as an analogy for the
contemporary subjugation of women is a historical
due to the evolution of the social dynamics that
occurred between the 16 th and 20 th centuries.

People Of Salem Samuel Paris Town

The Crucible starts off giving incite on one of
the main characters in the story, and it also ends
on foreshadowing of what will happen in the first
act. In the introduction, it also gives us incited
on what happened, and why it happened. Were there
really witches? Were their really devils? Or was
it all a big hoax? At first the story puts a
setting on where act 1 will probably take place.
This is in a small upper bedroom of Samuel Paris
in Salem Massachusetts in the spring of year 1692.
