“Political Hierarchy”

Back in the 1950's, when insecurity permeated the air, and people were ruled by fear, Arthur Miller wrote a play, which defined the line between insecurity and fear. The Crucible was a remade story of the carnal Salem Witch trials, in which many innocent victims lost their lives. Through this play Miller is trying to convey the message that death is not in our possession; we are not messengers of God. Only God decrees those …

…that an innocent person is proven guilty or that a killer walks free. If this is divine providence on the part of the court, then our morals have been wrong from the start. Finally, if one thinks that people can read God's will, why are there so many murders and innocent people dying, just as in The Crucible? The answer is simply that we cannot, because God is in heaven and we are on Earth.
