The author, Arthur Miller, displays a theocracy to demonstrate a court's ignorance towards actual facts. A theocracy is a religion based government. Throughout the novel, The Crucible, the religion of the government corrupts decisions that are made in court. If someone was not a part of the church or did not attend every Sunday they were thought to be a witch, or at least dishonorable. Danforth, deputy governor, brought forth the main issue of the whole novel, "A person is either with this court or he must be counted against it, there be no road between" (Miller 94).

Racism was known for a long time ago since human creation, it had many negative consequences on the human race such as wars, and it also created disunion between different categories. Moreover, racism can be defined as the act that values a certain race or class over the others and give them the right to take control over the other categories, this right of control is due to the fact that these other categories are from a different back ground (Religion, race, sex….etc.).

Cates and Drummond attempt the impossible: going against the word of God, and, consequently, everyone in the town of Hillsboro. Drummond sees the evil of religion, the exceptionalism and narrow-mindedness that coincides with the religiously devout. While arguing with Brady about heaven, Drummond says “as long as the prerequisite for that shining paradise is ignorance, bigotry, and hate, I say to hell with them,” (30).

Ever since its publication, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain has been critiqued and criticized for its stance on slavery. Although it was written after the Civil War, slavery and racism were still a major key in the American life.
