  • The Role Of Conscience In The Crucible

    251 Words  | 2 Pages

Conscience makes one more sensitive when regarding fairness or justice; it helps a person tell right from wrong. It is so common for people to simply go along with the crowd, blend in, and just do whatever other people are doing. In this quote, J. F.
