No matter what you assert, Abigail will turn the situation around so it seems like she is the victim. Arthur Miller was born in Harlem, New York. The Crucible is a play based during the Salem witch trials that took place in the Massachusetts. In the town of Salem, Massachusetts, adolescent girls are deceiving the town. When this untruth goes too far many lives are endangered. One would view this play because of the emotional dogfight. In The Crucible, Arthur Miller uses detail to reveal theme.

One of the many themes is betrayal, which can be found between John Proctor and Mary Warren. This can be seen when Arthur Miller wrote, He wake me up every night, his eyes were like coals, and his fingers claw my neck, and I sign, I sign..(Miller III.

This is can be seen when Miller wrote ,“My honesty is broke, Elizabeth; I am no good man”(Miller.IV.136). This is significant because John knew that he lied and he was disappointed in himself. This quote explains why John rather die than live. This implies He was upset with himself because he was not being true to himself.
