The Curcible
Theocracy is a government that is lead by god. The churches and its leaders give the word of god. There is no such thing as a grey area to the people of Salem. You are either doing right by God or working with the Devil. Dansforth states in Act three, “…a person must be with this court or he must be courted against it” (Miller 55). A consequence that put the fear into the hearts of everyone is death. That if anyone of them would be found guilty of witchcraft they would hang. A country that still practices theocracy is Iran. Since Iran is a Muslim dominate country the Koran is what they go by, much like the puritan society in Arthur Millers “The Crucible,” lives by the Bible.
