The Salem Witch Trials sprung from the ideologies of the Puritans and their view of Satan. With nothing much else to do than read the Bible, children and teenagers got bored easily and sought out entertainment. Betty Parris does this through accusing an enslaved women named Tituba of witchcraft and condemning her to death, along with 200 others. Arthur Miller is put on trial as a way to weed out Communists. Because of this trial, he goes to research the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 and then writes a play based off these events; it's called The Crucible.
