The Skewed Role of Women in The Crucible The outlook on gender roles in today’s advanced society is in drastic contrast to the views portrayed in The Crucible‚ set in Salem‚ Massachusetts‚ in 1692.

None of the females in The Crucible possess extreme power‚ but the truthful‚ pure-hearted‚ and family oriented women seem to be even
