Scapegoating in "The Crucible" and "The Village": Fear and Tragedy Across Time

This analysis explores the theme of scapegoating in Arthur Miller's "The Crucible" and the film "The Village." In "The Crucible," Abigail Williams manipulates Mary Warren as a scapegoat to frame John Proctor, reflecting the townspeople's collective fear of witchcraft. Similarly, the villagers use "The Ones We Do Not Speak Of" to instill terror and control the narrative. In modern contexts, fear continues to serve as a scapegoat, evident in tragedies like the Chardon shooting. This comparison highlights how societies repeatedly utilize scapegoats in times of crisis.
