FEAR TAKES OVER
Fear can be portrayed in many different ways in different situations. The definition of fear is to be afraid or feel anxious about a possible or probable situation or event usually accompanied by a desire to flee. Fear is also to be scared or frightened of something. Fear strikes when danger is seen in the future. In the play The Crucible, based on the witch trials that took place in Salem, Massachusetts in the late 1600’s, by Arthur Miller, fear is the ultimate motive behind almost every action in the play. Fear is a powerful emotion and causes normally sane people to do things that would never be expected of them. It lurks behind the actions of the characters in The Crucible.
Fear of getting in trouble can cause one to lie, or find an alternative way to escape the consequences of their actions. Fear causes Tituba and the girls in the Crucible to place the blame amongst other women with tarnished reputations. ... Knowing that her father found out what the girls were doing, she falls into a trance because she is overwhelmed with fear. ... The fear the ten year old is overcome with motivates her to act zombie-like in order to escape the trouble she assumes she will be faced with.
