The influential role of the church in 'The Crucible.' Why was Salem greatly influenced by the church? Religion influencing actions - Intolerance of individualism Religion influencing emotions - Fear Conclusion Strict Puritan theocracy ruled under priests. A more extreme form of Protestants, anything that is against the government is considered evil A Puritan society is intolerant of anything against the social norm, so individualism and expressing one's own thoughts is strictly not allowed. The townspeople are afraid of being accused and hung. They try to blame others in order to survive, which leads to mass hysteria. Religion influencing society in the play Religion influencing the play itself.

<em>"The Crucible"</em> is a play written by American author Arthur Miller that was first published in 1953. It is a partially fictionalized story of the Salem witch trials and how they affected a whole community. The religion of "The Crucible" is Puritanism, which was an orthodox branch of Protestantism. The Puritan Church affects the plot entirely as the community is ruled under Priests and everything that the Church and the Priests considered to be evil is also considered to go against the government.Therefore when Abigail and the rest of the girls are accused of being witches, the accusation is taken very seriously and they are all taken to court. Religion also influences the emotions  within the story, as when the Church starts accusing women, the rest of the community is afraid that they will also be accused and therefore they start to blame others in other to save themselves, creating mass hysteria within the community. Religion and how it affects and controls people is one of the main themes of "The Crucible".

c) wins bets for smiley by appearing to be incapable

In the story the horse's nickname was called the "fifteen-minute nag" which made people underestimate her. She was actually very fast.

He'd use his opponents hind legs to get the better of him. Most of Smiley's animals were misleading in their appearances.
