The crucible had a long period of lies and death. People were falsely accused of being witches left and right. This could be for many different reasons, but one of the main reasons was that the accused would be killed if they didn't admit to being a witch: this was normally done by being hung. They also knew that if a person were to be accused, they would have to give up all of the land. Witches scared the townspeople and made them fear for their lives, wondering if they were going to be accused next.
