As sad as it sounds, people of today are no different from the psychotic "Puritans" that are portrayed in The Crucible. Anything or anyone who is foreign or different automatically become of victim of discrimination.
Usually these people who are a victim are considered the minorities or the outlaws of society. What causes this to happen is fear of the potential power they may have. No one likes changes, no one likes to be proven wrong, and no one wants the minorities to take over what they had.
I remember how horrified and disgusted I was when I read and watched the movie. But what scared me more was when I realized that "which hunt" still continues in our world today.
Some Modern day which hunts are: Racism, Class discrimination, religious persecution, and disability discrimination.
All of these things are as bad as the which hunt that took place in Salem. How many people are going to be killed or hurt until someone stops us? I hope that day will come soon...
