Salem Witch Trials: Facts Behind the Fiction
The Crucible contains many facts from history. Many of the people from Salem are the same as in the play. The court system was very unreliable, as in The Crucible, causing many innocents to be condemned as witches. Puritans were very strict in their faiths and beliefs, especially when it came to condemning and persecuting witches. Many of the main characters in the play played a very important role in the Salem Witch Trials of 1692.
Even though their relationships with each other were greatly embellished, most, if not all of the characters from the play were real people who had to deal with these trials. Abigail Williams, her cousin Elizabeth Parris, and her friend Ann Putnam, Jr. were the instigators of the witch condemnation, as in The Crucible. John Proctor was one of the main men who spoke out against the credibility of the girls, but there is no actual proof of a relationship between him and Abigail Williams. Tituba was the first “witch” to be accused and then confess to witchcraft. Many of those who were accused of dealing with the devil had no other choice than to admit to this falsehood because of the faultiness of the court system.
