Explanation:

Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible" revolves around the Salem witch trials where many people were accused of practicing witchcraft and convicted to death. This theme of good vs. evil and the Puritan society's aim to be perfect from all 'unholy' things shows the length to which the government or for that matter, the patriarchal society, will try o go to save their own skin.

Act 3 of the play occurs at the court after more than seventy people were accused and condemned to be hanged after being found guilty of witchcraft. Marry Warren, who had previously admitted to being one with Abigail and her group of girls, returned back to court to retract her statement and claim that she had been lying. Abigail, with the support of her uncle Rev, Samuel Parris, vehemently denied she and the girls are guilty, while in truth, they are. But with someone like Rev. Parris on their side, they have a huge advantage over the common people such as Proctor and Giles. This shows that those with little to no power have no chance to fight the system even if they are innocent.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
