The community featured in The Crucible is a theocracy, which is explored extensively in this Act. In one cohesive paragraph, answer these questions:
- What is a theocracy?
- How do we see a theocracy manifesting in The Crucible? In what ways do we see religious beliefs influencing laws and norms in this community? (Use at least two examples from the text!)
- Research. Where do theocracies exist in the modern world?
- Conclude. What problems does Miller point out about a theocracy?
Your paragraph should be brief, between 100-200 words. You must use at least two examples from Act Two and cite one online resource in MLA style for your research.
