A theocracy is a country or civilization run and ruled by religion and religious leaders. The entire community worships the same, and lives by the same religious rules and values. You can see a theocracy becoming more and more real in The Crucible by the way ones judgment and reliability is judged by their faith. It is also shown by how they bash witchcraft, something that isn’t what their religion believes in, with no more facts than it is against their beliefs. One line that stuck out me is, “Proctor: The Commandments. Hale: Aye,” (Line 550). Hale demands that Mr. Proctor recites all 10 Commandments. This shows him whether he is believable or not. To people who believe so fully in their religion, any wavering makes the other seem untrustworthy
