The Crucible is set in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692 where God and hard work consumes the people. At the beginning of the play, Reverend Parris is lying next to the bed of his ten year old daughter Betty who is unmoving and unresponsive. Hysteria is running through Salem because of the rumor that Betty is bewitched and she and several other girls where dancing in the forest with Parris’s slave Tituba. Solely afraid of losing his job, Parris questions Abigail. Even though Abigail denies that she and the girls participate in witchcraft, Parris does not believe her because Abigail has been out of work since Elizabeth Proctor abruptly fired her.
Many people were also accusing Ultima of being a witch since she didn’t use the power of the lord to cure people and instead used “magic” to do her bidding In Bless Me, Ultima, Ultima was pushed away from the people in the town because many believed she was a witch. They were merely mislead by others thinking that she used her powers for evil when she actually was at peace with the earth, maintained a religious catholic image by attending masses and praying, and using her herbs to cure the people of the curses placed by witches. The first day she made her appearance at church, people expressed their opinions in whispers. Some said “es una mujer que no ha pecado” (pg 33), she is a women who hasn’t sinned; one even called her a “hechicera, bruja (pg 33), a sorcerer or witch. Even after she cured Lucas of the curse the witches put on him, people were still skeptical saying “Hechicera, Bruja” (pg 104).
Her first act of troublemaking was when she shaved her grandmother’s facial hair. She didn’t like her “whiskers”, so she decided that it would be best if she shaved them in her sleep. People would think that she had some problems because of this, but Isis was generally a happy child. Isis loved to dance. She wanted to dance at a carnival, but realized she couldn’t because she didn’t look the part.
I will also have to take a note of Mr. Corey’s wife, as he claimed he could not pray when his wife read a book in a corner. The young girl Abigail and her friends were dancing at night, and boiling a frog. This sounds very much like witchcraft. My thoughts were confirmed when the girl Abigail accused their servant, Tituba of witchcraft. It was certainly surprising when Tituba confessed her service to the Devil.
For example, when she trusts the Friar to get the information to Romeo. This information never gets to Romeo, which leads him to kill himself. Juliet could have told Romeo about her plan to take the potion and this would have prevented both of their deaths. Another bad decision was the marriage which complicated the already difficult situation. In conclusion Romeo and Juliet both sacrifice their own lives due to a lot of bad choices.

The movie, The Crucible, is centered on the Salem Massachusetts witch trials of 1692. The movie is based on the play "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller. It follows Abigail Williams, Betty Parris, and Ruth Putnam whose name was changed from the historically correct Ann Putnam as to not get mixed up with her mother who bears the same name, as they go around the Puritan community accusing women of being witches and causing mass hysteria in the town. The ages of the girls involved have been increased from about 11 to 17 (Online). There are many historical inaccuracies throughout the film to make it more dramatic and entertaining to the audience.
For example, in the movie she tells her friend how much she wants to be assistant manager, but never sends in the application. The movie has some of the four elements of a Cinderella but not all of them. For example, in the movie there is recognition through a token, in this case the boy but no magical gift or person. There is also a dance/dinner but it is not where the heroine is introduced; and there is an ill-treated girl, who may be worthy, but is not rich to begin with. The movie also adds a level of ethnicity by making Marisa or Cinderella Hispanic, and she is even caught in the act, which is a new thing for a Cinderella story.
According to the play, Tituba leads six girls into a nearby forest to cast charms and spells, followed by a wild dancing ritual. According to Abigail Williams, “We danced.

Soon after this event in the woods, the adults began to notice the girls exhibiting strange behavior.
