In a small village, like no other, about 15 years ago, there was three protagonist named Lizzy, John and Nick. Near this village, there was the town river that provides them with water and a mysterious cave that was forbidden to enter. The people who lived in this village lived in fear about the mysterious cave. As the story goes a wicked witch lives in the cave and anyone who had entered had never returned. Lately, people have begun to fall ill and they have reason to believe that it's the witch who lives in the cave that is causing the illness by turning the water green. One afternoon, Lizzy, John, and Nick were playing go fish when they started hearing screaming from a little girl. You could hear the pain in her voice as she cry's about …show more content…

As much as they didn't want to face the witch, they knew that they have to take action into their own hands to stop this illness. After one and a bit hours had passed the three had arrived at the entrance of the cave. Inside It looked dark, the kind of like a dark cloud in the sky with dripping water and a smell in which can make a person vomit almost straight away. As the three friends got deeper into the cave they vaguely started to hear a crying sound. As they turned the wide corner the three friends saw a lady standing there holding some sort of bowl. This bowl looked magical with the liquid inside looking as green as grass just like the river is turning. The lady was quite tall wearing a sky blue coloured dress and looked intimidating, with big black hair. The lady was looking straight into the water as if she was waiting for something to …show more content…

The lady suddenly yelled “who has dared to enter my cave” the three friends was totally terrified as they thought this was the end. John replied back to the lady “We come in peace please don't hurt us” The lady looked up with the anger in her face “leave, and let me be by myself”. Lizzy said in a brave voice “people are becoming ill and I think you are the reason why” the lady replied ‘I've done no such thing; why would you suspect me?” John replied with “you've killed anyone who had entered, now you're posting the town to ensure no one else will enter” the lady then said “My dragon was dying and I have been giving him this medicine to dull his pain, not trying to poison anyone and I've never killed anyone. My dragon would always have got to them before I could stop him”. As the lady said that they realised this is what is coursing all the deaths back at the village. They all calmly told the lady about the situation and how the medicine must be the source for the illness that is killing people. The lady was shocked from all the pain she has caused and begins to cry. The lady then goes on to say that "this morning my dragon has passed away and I no longer have the need to put the medicine in the

    Today, in the world there are so many different types of societies that unite for numerous reasons. They can either be big or small, but no matter what, a society is a society that stays united. However, one of the many things that can destroy millions of a united group in a matter of seconds is the compelling emotion also known as, fear. People who are power hungry individuals, see fear as an easy and beneficial tactic to gain power. In both the Crucible by Arthur Miller and the Red Scare, it is clearly evident that fear does not unite but rather splits both of these societies.

  • The Crucible: An Allegory To The Red Scare

    152 Words  | 1 Pages

    The Crucible is an allegory to the Red Scare for many reasons, but one is that they are both run by lies spread by people to put themselves out of harm's way. The Crucible was written and used to express what was going on during this period with the Red Scare. “They were hounded by law enforcement… and fired them from their jobs” because of what they believed in their rule of terrorism, in The Crucible where people were hung because of their beliefs. Another example of The Crucible being an allegory to the Red Scare is how in The Crucible, Abigail Williams was over exaggerating her statement that she could see and talk to the devil. Just like how “McCarthy and Hoover… exaggerating that possibility” in the Red Scare.

    “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller and The Red Scare share many characteristics. “The Crucible” describes the Salem Witch Trials. These trials were during a period of time where men and women were very rancorous so others feared to speak up because they would be accused of witchcraft and killed. Similar to Arthur Miller’s book, the Red Scare was a period of time in the late 40’s and 50’s in which United States citizens were intensely paranoid of an opposing threat of communism in Eastern Europe and Asia and ultimately communists infiltrating the United States. What the Red Scare and “The Crucible” have in common is that accusations of witchcraft or communism were false, people were blind to the truth, and the accusers weren’t very tactful and
