dancing and chanting in the forest unleashes the jealously, greed, and retribution simmering beneath the surface in the repressive Puritan society of 1692 Salem, sparking the famous witch trials.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The zealous and unrelenting pursuit of personal passions, colored as religious fervor and righteousness, possesses the village, resulting in the most absolute sacrifice of human life. In his classic, always-relevant theatrical
work of art, Miller shows us that evil is characterized not by that which surrounds us, but by that which is within us, by that which is borne in our souls.
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">The Crucible</i> is an enduring piece that addresses tolerance and reason lost amidst an unparalleled mass hysteria.<o:p></o:p></font></span></p>
