Arthur Miller often creates characters who must choose between their own self-interests and their commitment to the larger community. Write an essay in which you discuss the theme of “individual vs. society” with specific references to the various characters inThe Crucible. For example, consider whether the main characters such as John Proctor, Abigail Williams, Reverend Parris, and Reverend Hale are motivated by individual concerns or by the concerns of the society.
