They also involve the police because in the dying girl was a murder and they had found the murder that commit the crime. And the crucible they had to try to find who was the one that made witchcraft in the daughter.There was always that the places where they occured were in a small community and also in some way they were related because one The girl was between neighbors and the crucible was in a small town where everyone knew each other. They also had some differences like they happen in a totally different times and places. In the girl that had no help it was in the 1990 in new york in the crucible it was around the 1600 in massachusetts. So they were in a completely different time era and the plot was different too in the Crucible the main reason the was story was was sort of a fake because the daughter wasn't really in a coma and in the girl that no one helped it was a about how the neighbors watched her get stabbed and heard her scream her all she could but some really thought that she was drunk so that why they didn't
The crucible and the “Red Scare” are both events in U.S. history that were widely feared by the people. Both the Crucible and the red scare were based off accusations that were taken out of proportion instead of being dismissed like they should have been. Though the Red Scare and the Salem Witch Trials were both times of hysteria, they impacted different amounts of people. The Red Scare was a problem that impacted the entire country, while the Salem with Trials for the most part only impacted the people of Salem, Massachusetts. Another difference between the Red Scare and the Salem with Trials is the reason in which these events occurred. The Red Scare was a cause of many people fearing the rise of communism while the Salem Witch Trials did
The Crucible is an incredibly influential play no only in the fact that it displays many important themes, but it also portrays how a theocracy impacts societal actions. The Salem witch trials were the culmination of the problems with theocracy. The actions of society, not only are impacted by their personal thoughts, but also in religious undertones affect them. Act two in the play portrays not only all of these themes, but also some important events leading towards the witchcraft hysteria. Act two in the play portrays how theocracy ultimately leads to chaos.
The Crucible is paralleled directly to the Salem Witch Trials and indirectly to the McCarthy hearings of the 1950’s. The story of The Crucible takes place against the background of the Salem Witch, trials but the themes lie much deeper. The main themes expressed in The Crucible relate to the events that occurred at both the Salem Witch Trials and during the McCarthy era. At the Salem Witch Trials, one hundred fifty people were accused of practicing witchcraft and nineteen of those were convicted and executed. The evidence against these people was hardly substantial. At the McCarthy hearings, thousands of people were “blacklisted.” Anyone who tried to oppose the accusations was also viewed as a Communist. No one was convicted due to the more advanced legal system; still, that did not erase the fear that was instilled by the allegations.
The crucible’s setting was in the year 1962, in the small Puritan society of Salem. One night some of the girls in the village were in the woods doing love potions when they were caught. The girls lied and said that witches made them do it. In an extremely religeous society the influence of witches was immensely frightening and as the thought to identify witches arose, so did mass hysteria of the...
To conclude there are many differences yet also similarities between the two plays. The similarities being the plot, and the situations the characters are in. However, the differences being the culture the playwrite lived in and the effects these cultures had on the plays. Each play was written for a different purpose, to impact a different audience and create different emotions. I preffered the play The Crucible because the journey the characters went on was more interesting and as an audience I prefer to be able to relate to the cha
The similarities between “ The Crucible” and “ The dying girl that no one helped” is that in both stories there were witnesses that could have prevented the deaths of others. In the Crucible if
in the crucible it's about the Salem witch it can be connected to this image because there was a witch in their town and they believe that girl in the image she is one of the witches and they trying to kill her. her dad carry many things I think that's his clothes and he need for his living I believe The theme of the image is exactly connected in the crucible because in the image have a meaning and visual if you watch the crucible they exactly connected how they look how they wearing clothes and how they hurt people. in the image I see old things around like book, wheel, and chair.

In the crucible In the town, there's a lot of trouble and people who struggled in the town because the people in the town believes there's a girl who is a witch.
There are even some small differences in The Crucible book and movie. Such as, all of the scenes in the book are place indoors whereas in the movie there are many outdoor scenes. Even the number of girls with Abigail in the movie is much larger than the amount of girls mentioned in the book.
The similarities of the Crucible and the dying girl that no one helped is in both the stories they just let them die. Both the stories are true they did happen in real life. 16 people got murdered but the town. They had people that died and they did not care or at least they act like they did not care.They also both had witness but the witness did nothing to stop them from getting killed. It is almost like they did not care because they did not want to get in trouble or be blamed or something.
The Crucible is a complex story about a town called Salem, which lies in the state of Massachusetts. This story is about little girls in Salem lying about witchcraft which is related to McCarthyism which was going on at the time. McCarthyism is about a politician who verbally accused people of being communist, but never had any proof which is a lot like witchcraft because witchcraft is fake and cannot be proven. The Crucible, when viewed through the Marxist, Psychological, and Gender lens, is about little girls gaining power and bringing bad things into this world.
In a society that demands conformity we see the effects on individuals who suffer in both The Crucible and Year of Wonders with their independence. The protagonist, John Proctor in The Crucible shares similar qualities with Anys Gowdie in Year of Wonders. Proctor’s disregard for social and religious customs creates a conflict between him and his community. He fails to conform to the teachings of society and is punished for his sins. He falters when recalling the ten commandments and commits the act of lechery. For this he suffers greatly, hanged for his confession of a lie. Much like Anys Gowdie who also does not attend church or any religious practices in complete disregard for the community’s religious views. For this she also suffers momentously as she is hanged on the accusation of witchery in the

The First reason being religion playing a part in one story and not the other. In “The Crucible” people tried to justify the hanging of innocent people by using their religion and fear of god. The dying girl that no one helped was just an unplanned and unmotivated murder. Another Difference is that the hangings in The Crucible Were Caused by the lies Of a Psychotic Mistress. Everyone Supported These Hangings. For the Dying Girl, All People Stood By and just decided to not get
Besides similarities between “The Crucible”, Salem witch Trials, and the McCarthy Era there are differences. The Crucible/ Salem witch trials had people being hung that were believed to be witches compared to people just being put in prison when they were accused of being a communist in the McCarthy era. Also, anyone was able to charge someone else in “The Crucible” where during the McCarthy Era Joseph McCarthy was the one charging people, and no one else had any say about who was charged.
Another comparison between The Crucible and McCarthyism is that in both people were guilty of believe. In The Crucible, people who believed or practice witchcraft were executed and in McCarthyism the ones who believed or participate in Communism were guilty of belief.
