    Theme Of The Crucible

    • 359 Words
    • 2 Pages

With this type of society the moral laws and state laws were pretty much the same‚ so sin and the status of an individual’ soul are public matters of a public concern. In Salem everything and everyone either belongs to God or the Devil. Another theme that was noticed was the role that hysteria played
