In The Crucible, a lot of conflict was going on about witchcraft. For example, a lot of people were being accused of it. This would make people frustrated. There really was no way to be free if you ever were accused of being a witch. People were getting into trouble for these accusations. Abigail, Tituba, and others were hanging out in the woods performing a ritual. For example, Parris catches Abigail, Tituba and others doing a ritual, and one was even dancing naked.
This shows that it doesn”t look good for them to be doing that. This is because they look like they are witches when they were dancing naked and chanting. As a result, Abigail, Tituba and others look like they are witches because Parris catches them performing a ritual. Betty Parris lies still in her bed with others saying that she is a victim of witchcraft. For example, after she came back from the woods where a ritual was performed, she just lies in her bed all day long.
This shows that Betty somehow was affected by the witchcraft that went on. This is because she is under a spell. As a result, the events that went on in the woods changed Betty into a different person. Ruth lies motionless in her bed due to being a victim of witchcraft. For example, Ruth lies in her bed as motionless as Betty.
This shows that the ritual that Abigail, Tituba, and others did affected Ruth also. This also shows that witchcraft made Ruth paralyzed. As a result, Ruth is a victim of witchcraft by being paralyzed. Ms. Putnam claims she is a victim of witchcraft due to the outcome of her babies. For example, Ms. Putnam is convinced she is a victim of witchcraft because all seven of her babies died within a day after birth.
This shows that a witch had something to do with the life of the babies. This is because atleast two or three babies would have lived if some witch didn”t want them to die. As a result, a witch decided that he or she didn”t want any of the seven babies of Ms. Putnam to live. Ruth’s mother catches Ruth doing something that could categorize Ruth of being a witch. For example, Ruth’s mother caught Ruth flying over her neighbor’s barn.
This shows that Ruth has to have some kind of witch powers. This is because her own mom told on people that she did this, so it must be true. As a result, Ruth’s mom tells people that her daughter flew over a neighbor’s barn. Betty reveals that Abigail did a spell to kill Elizabeth Proctor. For example, Betty cries out and tells Parris that Abigail drank blood to kill Elizabeth Proctor.
This shows that Abigail is using witchcraft to try and kill Elizabeth. This is because Abigail doesn”t like Elizabeth. As a result, Betty lets Parris know that Abigail tried to kill Elizabeth by using a spell. Betty can”t hear God’s name due to a spell of some sort. For example, betty covers her ears and collapses to the ground when the crowd around her starts singing a song that has God’s name in it.
This shows that Betty suffers when she hears God’s name. This is because the witchery made it so she can”t hear God’s name without causing pain. As a result, witchcraft has made Betty unable to hear God’s name without pain. Cheever finds Elizabeth’s voodoo doll in her house. For example, in Elizabeth’s house, Cheever found a doll that had a needle in it in the same place where Abigail said she was stabbed.
This shows that Elizabeth uses a form of witchcraft to harm Abigail. This is because Elizabeth does not like Abigail. As a result, Cheever found Elizabeth’s doll that she used to hurt Abigail. The Crucible had a lot of conflicts which were mostly related to either witchcraft or harming others. For example, the power of witchcraft was too much for this small town in Salem. This shows that people were going crazy. This also shows that witchcraft broke the city apart. As a result, in The Crucible, there were a lot of accusations made of witchery, and it affected the whole town.
