<spolier>The Crucible does a fantastic job at making you dislike every character you come across with the exception of a few. Every character us just as if nit more insufferable as the next, however I believe thus has less to do with the characters or the play and more to do with the mentality of the Pilgrims in real life. The historical accuracy and the novels great job at showing the consequences of social, sexual, and religi9n repression is something that intrigued me the most. I think the portrayal of factional and how this act of divide truly leads to the downfall of civilization, the downfall of Salem. The "us" vs. "them" mentality if the townspeople I'd what led to the hysteria they faced. If it wasn't for the ever-present urge to spite your neighbo  in hopes of climbing up the social ladder, I believe the trials would've never occurred in the first place.
