Question: Number Two

There are things you can change, then there are things you can only complain about. In The Crucible, the townspeople had to handle stressful situations surrounding these circumstances. Having fallen to witchcraft, the story flows through tradition elaborating on it's conflict and tragic outcome. 

Traditions are meant to be followed and if broken can lead to serious conflict as it did for the townspeople in The Crucible. Witchcraft fell into the hands of, then, innocent girls causing a severe burden for the townspeople. The story's time period lead to a break within a community where unity was its core and routine was a must. Through different perspectives, the author conveyed an emotional bond between each character and their role in the community. By outlining the sequence the way he did, the reader was able to get a better understanding of the challenges this, once traditional community, was going through.

By modifying the plot under risky circumstances, the drama and anticipation rose. The Crucible had moments where the author demonstrated tradition being broken and shifted, but was able to balance the conflict through dialogue. The character's played a huge part since dramatic irony was aliven; only the audience knew what was really going on between the lines. By having each character reveal a secret, the story had more of a reason to accuse anyone who seemed suspicious in disobeying tradition.

In the end, the author tried his best to summit a reasonable example of tradition being overtaken by disobedience. Townspeople seemed overwhelmed by their own neighbors and eventually traditions were broken and many turned on each other. Dialogue, setting and conflict challenged the stories traditional persona, but in the end that's what helped many understand the plot. The author helped the story play out and by doing so truths were revealed and the result was a sour ending.
