Crucible Reflection for Act One

So far, I find the Crucible to be a very interesting play. I am going to reflect about the views of black people in Puritan American society. I found it interesting that everyone was so quick to point the blame on Tituba, Parris' black slave from Barbados. These girls Abigail and Betty are not taking responsibility of their actions because they are afraid of their punishment, so they blame the easiest target. I am also perplexed by the worry that is coming across the town of Salem over a couple of girls dancing.

  1. Dancing was from the devil so it was illegal for the Puritans to do it. Blaming the character who is different is the theme of much literature.
