Ufo's Corruption In Salem

“Whatever hysteria exists is inflamed by mystery, suspicion, and secrecy. Hard and exact facts will cool it.” This quote, by Elia Kazan, refers to the Salem Witch trials and the recent mass hysteria, UFO’s, because facts calm down these hysterias made up by people. In today’s society, one mass hysteria of the world today is UFO’s. No one really knows if UFO’s are real, but a lot people think that they could be. People who do not believe in UFO’s usually judge people that do. It is hard to believe in aliens flying overhead of us, but some people have a creative enough mind to believe in it. A lot of false information make people believe in UFO’s, such as: photoshopped pictures, people coming up with false but believable stories, and Area 51

The main reason why the justice system is corrupt in Salem is that the people who were guilty, had to prove their innocence. That is not like in other courts where the people who accuse the guilty need to prove why those people are guilty. This shows that if the justice system is ran the right way, Abigail and the girls would have to prove why all those people were witches. This would have led to a lot less deaths, including John’s death. In addition, the judges in the justice system in Salem were very gullible, and the judges did not want to get made fools of when they started to figure out that young girls are tricking them.. Judge Danforth realizes that he made a mistake when he starts to listen to the girls about who is a witch and sent them to hang. Throughout the play, Danforth looks foolish for believing the girls, and he tries to deny the fact, that the girls were tricking him. If he would have been somewhat intelligent and is not so gullible, he would have not sent John to hang because John had the upper hand on him. The corrupt justice system is big reason for John’s death because a handful of times, John would have beat the court and freed his wife, but Judge Danforth would believe the girl’s false stories about

If John did not cheat on his wife with Abigail, Abigail would not bring them into the witch trials. John would have never had to give his life if he would of kept away from Abigail. Abigail accuses Elizabeth of witchcraft, because she wants Elizabeth dead so that she could take her spot as John’s wife. John does not want a relationship with Abigail, but Abigail wants a relationship with John. If John would have stayed away from Abigail and been a faithful husband, Elizabeth would have not been accused of witchcraft. Another reason why John cheating on Elizabeth lead to his death, is that he tried to use his excuse of cheating on his Elizabeth, to get her out of her hanging. When John went against the court, he told everyone in the court that Abigail is doing this because he committed adultery with her. He told Judge Danforth to ask his wife if he cheated because Elizabeth never lies, but Elizabeth lied to save John’s reputation. Elizabeth had no idea that John told the court he committed adultery to save her. This shows that John is lying about cheating on Elizabeth, which he did cheat on her, and it got him sent to jail and his hanging. If John would have never cheated on Elizabeth, they would have never been dragged into the witch trial, and Elizabeth would have not felt the need to lie to save John’s reputation which got him sent to his
