Authoritative Struggles in Salem

"There is nothing as powerful as the silence" (Leonardo Da-Vince). In Arthur Miller's play The Crucible, some problems brought Salem's collapse and corruption. The biggest problem is the pastor of Paris and his authority as the god of the town. As a reader, the pastor of Paris must be a god, but you must understand that you abuse the power to dominate the church, keep the reputation, pay attention to material wealth.

There are many authorities in the world of Kruger's Burg. In the early days, Pastor Paris was Salem's sole authoritative spokesperson, served as Minister and graduated from Harvard University. He gained authority from books and research and was replaced by the arrival of Pastor Hale, which was further replaced by the court and their officials. At the same time, individualists such as Proctor and Gilscoli benefit from these authority levels - the Proctor refused to preach Paris for a long time, and Corey takes the authority of the law as a primitive Plaintiffs However, it is considered dangerous to be abnormal in this society. In fact, opposition to public institutions is like anarchists, the worst thing is Satan 's agent. Proctor and Corey are the two most modern figures in the show and they are willing to oppose the extreme authority of the court. But, for this reason, they also felt a lot of pain.

Puns is a puns (a word game). It also refers to the serious struggle confronted by Salem residents and the mixture of social religion and secular aspects during the trial. It also refers to the pain of Miller himself when he was accused of Communism at McCarthy Senate. When creating a stage work, Miller did not attempt to express the real historical person whose character was based; he developed them to meet the needs of the game. The surviving record does not provide any evidence of the personality of the historical personality that the playwright may draw. Miller combines several people into one role. For example, the judges' "Hathorne" and "Danforth" represent multiple judges, and the number of girls involved is decreasing. The age of Abigail has increased from 11 to 17 years, and established a relationship with Proctor. There is no historical evidence.
