It’s about the Salem Witch Trials.It’s really nothing new with all the movies and lessons about it covered in elementary school. Even an episode of “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” is related to the same topic. Libby claims Sabrina’s friend is a witch, which is ironic. It’s all the same, senseless girls making up lies to simply get themselves out of trouble. The people around them lack logic as well. They believe anything they are told. Personally, the most frustrating aspect of the Crucible was that despite the irrationality of the girl’s lies, everyone else was falling for it. John F. Kennedy said “The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie—deliberate, contrived, and dishonest—but the myth—persistent, persuasive and unrealistic.”
