For my second premise I am stating that evil exists in this world. When you put these two together

The Evil Force of The Crucible Written about a small town’s suffering‚ The Crucible creates an allegory connecting the Salem Witch Trials of1692 to the McCarthy trials of the mid-20th century. At the beginning of this Play‚ one can see the anarchy created by a group of girls. The girls‚ led by Abigail William‚ were simply sporting around in the woods.
