The Crucible Reflection

I believe that the false accusations and convictions of witchcraft were quite unfair and unjust. Originally Tituba was blamed for being a witch because of the girl group wanting to get out of trouble. Then, when she blamed others, it just continued, and people would keep pointing the finger, until the ones who ended up being convicted were the "good" Christian people in the town, the ones who were considered almost perfect to them. That is completely backwards than it should be. Take Rebecca Nurse, for example, who was considered the top woman in the town because of her ranking, her Christian attitude, and her knowledge. She becomes one of the convicted, even though she was obviously not a witch. It never seemed like anyone pointed a finger at the ones who accused people. In my opinion, Abigail was the witch, as she was the accuser for everyone, and she did some very bad things. Innocent people are killed for guilty people's doings because they could basically hand it over. This story is based on real events, too, and if our leaders are going to do that to people, with the not giving proper justice, then our whole view of morality and society is completely flipped. It does not make sense that those who did it can get off the hook by blaming others--people who did not do a thing--and those people would then be convicted. Arthur Miller sure was right when he wrote this story, as it pertains to the HUAC and their false justice. It is also mostly correct for what did happen in Salem, as people were falsely accused as witches. I am sure that those people who treated them like they did were not happy when they found out the secret meaning behind the story. Hopefully some day people will stop their witch hunts and come to their senses.
