"The Crucible" is a play that was written by Arthur Miller and it was published in 1953. Although the play narrates a partly historical, partly fictionalized, version of the Salem Witch Trials which took place in the Massachusetts Bay Colony between 1692 and 1693, it is also depicts, subtly, the events that happened during the McCarthy era, especially regarding the persecutions and constant scare of people towards Communism and the many violations that took place at this time because of that fear.
When we read this particular excerpt, we must understand that at this point, in Act II, the accusations of witchcraft from Abigail and the other Puritan girls have reached a peak and many people have been placed in jail, and are awaiting to be hanged, because of the witchcraft pandemonium. Hale, is a Puritan reverend who has been called by character Reverend Parris, to investigate the situation in the colony, as an expert demonologist. When Hale makes this statement to John Proctor, a farmer who had an affair with Abigail and who is aware that Abigail and the others are lying about the witchcraft issue, he is asking Proctor to understand the situation, the gravity of it, to see that nothing of what is happening would be if God himself had not intervened to make the matters of corruption and witchcraft inside the colony known to the proper authorities. As such, proceedings must continue because they are the correct thing to do and Proctor, as a good Christian, must put himself at the service of righteousness and help Hale continue in his efforts to get rid of the evil.

Answer:
Ceremony and rituals have long played a vital and essential role in Native American culture. Often referred to as “religion,” most Native Americans did not consider their spirituality, ceremonies, and rituals as “religion,” in the way that Christians do. Rather, their beliefs and practices form an integral and seamless part of their very being. Like other aboriginal peoples around the world, their beliefs were heavily influenced by their methods of acquiring food, – from hunting to agriculture. They also embraced ceremonies and rituals that provided power to conquer the difficulties of life, as wells as events and milestones, such as puberty, marriage, and death. Over the years, practices and ceremonies changed with tribes‘ needs.
