In Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," the ordinary lives of Salem Village residents are torn apart by fear of the unknown, greed for property, and envy for social status. False accusations lead to tragic consequences, with Reverend Parris desiring more money and land, Abigail envying others, and villagers fearing the unfamiliar. As accusations spiral out of control, the play showcases the destructive power of greed, envy, and fear in a tightly-knit community.
