Life in Puritan Times as Shown in "The Crucible"

Please imagine living a full of hypocrites. But those people should be sacred Christians. Living in the Puritan era is not easy. These people are punished for making a mistake and are humiliated only if there is fraud. In the spring of 1692, mystery hysteria crawled around the whole city of Salem, Massachusetts. This resulted in 20 executions and an additional 150 people were imprisoned. An estimated one to nine million Europeans are condemned to be witches.

In 1692, the episode "Arthur Miller's Donkey" was held in Salem, Massachusetts. Salem people are known as Puritans They are people who obey God, commanders, and they are asked to read the Bible in their spare time. Elizabeth Proctor is known as a "good" Puritan woman, Abigail Williams is called Puritan should do nothing. Elizabeth and Abigail are known for Salem community for their attitude, character and behavior. Elizabeth has a good personality and a better attitude.

A crucible was opened in the Puritan community in Salem, Massachusetts in the 17th century. At that time, Puritan lived in the theocratic government, and the church and the state were one. The judicial system of the Puritan Government is a very important factor in this tragedy. Because the government is the representative of God, the decision of the Puritan Court directly reflects God himself. Furthermore, since the court believes in a supernatural image like God, it must also tolerate the existence of magic. But magic can be improved due to the intangible nature of certain evidence. People can condemn someone as a witch by using very ambiguous absurd obvious things

As mentioned earlier, "crucible" was held in Puritan Salem, Massachusetts in the last decade of the 17th century. Because of the new land of America, Puritan brought confidence in magic and Satan's resolute powers. The United States is a vast and unstable land, and the "undeveloped" indigenous people live, so Puritan's belief is that Satan has a strong presence there. For a long time Puritan was a strong person with a strict religious and social order. But by 1692, by the year of the "Yuzuru" incident, Puritan 's power was much worsening. The Salem Witch trial is the last attempt to confirm the superiority of the Puritan collapse order. However, this attempt was a sarcastic failure as it revealed weaknesses of the Puritan social order. Puritans are very religious people and superstitious people.
