The quotes from "The Crucible" are excerpts taken from the play script.
Some quotes taken from the first act can be seen below:
But if you trafficked with spirits in the forest I must know it now, for surely my enemies will, and they will ruin me with it.
Now look you, child, your punishment will come in its time.
There are wheels within wheels in this village, and fires within fires!
Open yourself, Tituba-open yourself and let God's holy light shine on you.
<h3>What is "The Crucible?"</h3>
"The Crucible" is a play that portrays the mass hysteria that occurred in the Puritan community of Salem and resulted in a series of accusations of witchcraft that culminated in the murder of a number of citizens, mainly women.
The play is an allegory of McCarthyism that provoked a series of random accusations from possible Americans associated with the Communist Party. McCarthyism generated a wave of fear in the USA in 1950 and generated baseless accusations that ended the social life of the victims.
