How often do you question what you believe in, or change your opinion on something wrong just because someone told you to? With the way information travels today, it’s hard to identify what is and isn’t true. Some people may completely believe something they’ve seen online or were told by someone. A literary source that has this as one of its main conflicts is The Crucible, by Arthur Miller. In this book, false information is used to control the town of Salem, as lies of witchcraft lead to the executions of more and more people. This is due to having a lack of integrity within people involved, such as Abigail and the girls, Reverend Parris, and Elizabeth Proctor, who betray their own morals and end up facing the consequences.
