Understanding Theocracy in The Crucible
Scene Summary:
In Arthur Miller's The Crucible, the setting is Salem, Massachusetts, during the late 17th century. The society is governed by strict religious laws, with the church wielding immense power over daily life. The community believes in divine authority, and dissent is met with suspicion and punishment. Theocratic rule means that church doctrines directly influence laws and social norms. The play explores how such a society fosters fear, suspicion, and hysteria, leading to tragic consequences.
Context Guide:
The crucible of Salem's society is built on the idea that religious authority is absolute. The leaders of the church, including Reverend Parris, enforce moral standards that everyone must follow. Accusations of witchcraft often stem from personal vendettas, misunderstandings, or societal pressures. Only through strict adherence to religious laws can one avoid suspicion or punishment. Key phrases include 'God's law,' 'devil's influence,' and 'public morality.' Understanding these concepts helps clarify the context of the accusations and trials in the play.
Quote for analysis: 'The devil is precise; the marks of his presence are definite as a fingerprint.'
