Crucible Post


The story takes place in a Puritan Town called Salem. The scene open ups in in Reverend Paris' house, in a small upstairs bedroom, in the year 1692.  His daughter Betty is sick, he is praying by the side of the bed where then the author introduces many other characters; Abigail, Proctor, Tituba, Mr. & Mrs. Putman and others. They believe that there has been some sort of connection to the Devil in the village, they begin spreading terror and havoc among themselves, and the town.  I really enjoy the plot the author portrays, the drama and the secrets hidden behind all theses so called “picture perfect,” or “pure” people and in this society. I feel like they don’t focus as much on the actual Salem trails, but the story behind it and secrets beneath this group of people in Salem. The evil within all these “pure” folk, and all their dirty little secrets begin to spill out like a shaken up soda waiting to spur out. So, that’s was somewhat of a let done, because it was not what I expected.
