Crucible Post One

The Crucible is a book of power hungry characters who are all battling each other for the most power in Salem. Parris, the reverend, is a cruel man that would sacrifice his own daughters life for a good reputation among the people in the village even though there are only a select few that actually side with him through hard times. There is also the five mischievous girls, Abigail the leader and her four followers Betty, Ruth, Mercy, and Mary Warren. All five of them are accused as witches but instantly take that power and turn it against every other woman in the village. Suddenly they have the power and they control over every woman in the towns lives. But in the shadows there lurks three other power hungry people. Goody Putnam, her husband Mr. Putnam, and Reverend Hale. The Putnam's, who are the richest people in Salem, are the first to accuse anyone guilty or not. They both are in it for the land, the money, and the power. Reverend Hale is the designated "witch finder" and is given the power to decide who is a witch and who isn't. But with great power comes great responsibility and with seven people after this so called power there are bound to be dastardly consequences.
