Women In The Crucible
In the Crucible, by Arthur Miller, men and women each hold powerful and important parts. Men hold mainly all of the power because they decide those who are sentenced to death. They are the ones who are in control of the village and lastly they all try to dominate over each other.

The court is basically the leaders, they run everything that happens. When the girls were caught in the woods dancing and singing, the court had no idea it was happening. The court found out because the young girls such as Betty and Ruth had not woken the next day and Reverend Parris had heard them. When the court found out they had been accused of witchcraft because it was something that the girls failed to share so they immediately had taken it as they were lying. If it was suppose to be a secret than of course they have no reason to not be blamed for something so terrible, but the court had no real proof that it was witchcraft, it was just the worse assumption that had been mentioned. The villagers should expect the worst consequences if they do something and the court is not notified.
All of the men in the court want to be in power. Reverend John Hale tries to help John Proctor in certain situations and Hale is suddenly turned down, everything he would say. Hale had tried multiple times with putting in a good word for Proctor to the other courtmen, and they would not care, they were just worried about him having the affair and of being accused for witchcraft. The court had no real proof that Proctor was guilty, and when hale would try to save him the court would announce that Hale had no proof he was innocent, but they never noticed they didn’t
