In today's society we are taught to hold up and pent up our feelings which causes such sudden bursts.
Explanation:
There are times when something someone does that is only partially annoying that pushes someone over the edge. 
Sometimes this is because of all the pent up anger and feelings that are yet to be expressed and the existence of the person in the middle of the modern society makes them hard to be expressed too.
Thus, we burst out at people rather unnecessarily in some cases even.
This means that people would often lay out essentially useless anger at an innocuous thing.
 
        
             
        
        
        
In "The Crucible", by Arthur Miller, the character that fears that his own mistakes may have angered God and brought his wrath on Salem is <em>Reverend  John Hale</em>. Hale is a young minister, expert in witchcraft who is in Salem to examine Betty, Parris's daughter. He is an intelligent man and doesn't fall on blindly trying to blame everybody of witchcraft. Instead he fears his presence has brought God's wrath on Salem. "Let you councel among yourselves; think of your village and what may have drawn from heaven such thundering wrath upon you all."
