The Crucible by Arthur Miller is a play based on the actual events that in 1692 led to the Salem Witch Trials. There were many people accused of witchcraft which led to many hearing and over 150 innocent killings of people being accused of witchcraft in Massachusetts. This play has many cases of bullying and as you hear the story of events the bullying will stand out.
The play begins with Reverend Parris finding the girls of Salem in the woods dancing naked while talking with the spirits of the Devil. After Rev. Parris' little girl Betty is laying in bed sick and won't wake along with the Putnam's daughter. In the play the girls are accused of witchcraft while trying to find the master of all of it and Abigail scared shouts out Tituba which is showing Abigail bullying Tituba for something that she didnt do. Tituba is taken by the people and whipped and tortured for being accused of the girls behavior in the woods. Abigail threatens the girls that if they tell anyone about her drinking chicken blood for Elizabeth Proctor she will kill them which is another case of bullying. John Proctor who is Elizabeth Proctor's husband had an affair with Abigail a while back and Abigail is obsessed with John Proctor. So here John Proctor would be called the Bully because he cheated on his wife for no reason.
Reverend Hale comes into play and comes to observe the girls to see what could of happened to Betty and he witnesses this town slowly turning upside down and into a place that no one would want to be at. This play is definitely one that will keep your mind spinning and not want to close the book till the very last word and final bully.
