Us vs. Them

             Conflict. Conflict is something that happens every day, to everybody, everywhere. Conflict can happen is small cases, such as a disagreement between friends, or in bigger cases that result in wars. Conflict also happens for many different reasons. Some people use conflict as entertainment, others use conflict to cause detriment to people. We can see both of the reasons in the Crucible. Abigail and her friends are hurting many people, and families, by using their cherubic innocence to call witch on people whom they don’t like in the town. At first the girls are doing this mainly to get rid of Elizabeth Proctor, bus as the story goes on and more people get involved the girls have to call witch on lots of people, even their own friend. Furthermore, it seems that by the end of book the girls are just calling witch for fun, to see how far they can go without being caught. This just shows that conflict was around late in our past, is still here in present day, and will probably never go away in our future.
