This video from the movie Hocus Pocus, shows a clear image on how people portray witches. Like in the Crucible, these three witch sisters, deny they are witches. The people of the town know they are witches and want them gone. They are attacking the witches' house with fire and pitch-forks. They are also threatening them. The three witch sisters are hung but have said a "spell" to make them come back to life. Clearly, in this video clip, witches are portrayed as evil, ugly people who do awful things to people. In the crucible, if somebody was believed to be a witch, they would be killed. The people in this video clip are also doing the same to them. The view on witches in the Crucible and Hocus Pocus are basically the same.


 * Dear Abby, **
 * We are done! You need to to get over it and forget anything ever happend. Im with Elizabeth now, and im not going back to you. I know this hurts you but its for the best. Its the right thing for me to do, and i don't think you can ever understand that and thats okay but you need to. I dont want anything to do with you. I've made my desicion. It's over Abby, im sorry this is how its has to be, but it's the best for the both of us and this is the right thing. Elizabeth means to much to be and i want to be with her and you need to accept that. Please dont be overdramatic and start anymore drama. I'm sorry. **
 * - John **

When we wrote this letter to abby from john, we were trying to show are more modern way of ending a relationship. The letter to Abby from John shows that John did not want to be with her anymore, as he told her in The Crucible. In the actual play they talked more formal and abby had a harder time accepting that fact that John did not want her. We took the situation they had in a modern way of how a break up would go through a letter.

This video clip from Sabrina the Teenage Witch, portrays a different view on witches then in The Crucible. In this show, they look at witchcraft with comdey. This show is about two aunts,their neice Sabrina, and their talking cat Salem. This family has to keep their powers a secret. But these witches use their powers to help others and sometimes when angry, to do harmless, funny things to others. Clearly they had the idea of the Salem witch trials when they named the cat. This modern look on witches is that they are good people with funny personalities, but also have to keep their powers a secret.
