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".

Does anyone know what kind of mood the theme song to the tv show 'Smart Guy' sets?
vfiekz [6]
The mood is mostly upbeat. It is also very calming, in the background, there are some girls singing a smooth melody! What I mean by upbeat is that the song use has good instruments to get a good rhythm. While listening to the song you would most likely feel like you would want to move around. It is not the type of song to make you want to "Do the Harlem Shake". The song is also particularly old.

The correct answer is slow and steady wins the race

These two are similar because they both mean that if you are patient and have will that you can achieve anything. It's like the story of the rabbit and the tortoise.
