Arthur Miller's __The Crucible __ k . .  .  __CRUCIBLE MEETS MODERN __ ﻿ At times, reading the Crucible can get confusing. Even though most of the characters are close to our ages, the teens years, it is still hard to understand them because everything is written in old English. In not being able to comprehend what the characters are saying, we lose out in some of the critical details. In order to help with that situation, we brought Abigail Williams and Mary Warren into the present times. They are going through everything, but in the process, they are venting to the place every teenager goes: FACEBOOK. ﻿ m m [|Abigial Williams' page]

[|﻿Mary Warren's page] = __﻿﻿Oh, how the norms have changed __  = During the time in which the Crucible took place, people feared witchcraft. In those days, the "norm" was religion, religion, RELIGION. Everyone strictly followed the words of the Bible, and according to those words, anything suspiciously supernatural, besides God Himself, was evil and doing biddings for the Devil. That is why so many of witchery, they simply dancing, or just in the wrong place at the wrong time. But all of that is different now. The "norm" back then is consider strange in modern times. People who resemble the puritans' ways the most, are the Amish. In modern days, Amish folk are considered "strange" for their ancient ways. Nowadays, the "norm" isn't to follow the Bible word for word, that is if people follow it at all. In modern times, more religions have come in to play, but some don't even have a religion at all: atheists. Also, most importantly, people no longer fear the supernatural! Rather, they embrace it. Everywhere you look now, its vampire this, and werewolf that, witches here, and ghosts there. But not only do people embrace these creatures, but they even want to BE them. Girls fantasize about the PERFECT vampire, to come sweep them off their feet, or the perfect bad boy werewolf to fight for their love. Guys on the other hand, enjoy watching zombie movies because they think the undead coming back to kill is "awesome". And everyone wishes they had super powers, whether if it’s flying like superman, or magical powers much like those of a witch's.
