It is ironic on how the puritans were supposeably good. In the movie The Crucible, they put innocent people to death just by the word of a few people. They are suppose to be on a jury by the word of the lord, not by some girls. Instead of putting the people to death right away, they should have just kept them on trial longer, until they could prove that they were a witch. If the puritans were good people, they wouldn’t have killed so many and they should have trusted more people other than just the girls. The puritans say that they are a court based off of God, but yet they go and not believe in God’s word, but the girls. When the Salem community killed some of its finest citizens, that is ironic. They killed for the common good of the people
