The Crucible

"The Crucible" by Joey Trunkely explores the Salem witch trials, emphasizing how fear led individuals to lie and accuse others unjustly for self-preservation. Innocent lives were lost as communities were gripped by paranoia and the pressures of societal judgment. Modern parallels can be drawn, where fear manifests in terrorism, war, and social judgment. Just as in Salem, today's society sees individuals scapegoating others to escape accountability, illustrating a chilling continuity of human behavior across time.
