Fear Mongering
Throughout The Crucible, fear mongering was the ultimate reason for the mass hysteria in Salem. In the opening chapter of The Crucible Abigail causes fear in Salem. Firstly, she reiterates she has had no contact with the devil,
“I never sold myself…”[1]
But quickly shifts the blame on to Tituba, as her disastrous plan unfolds.
“She made me do it…She makes me drink blood!”[2]
Noticeable is the tension between John Proctor and Abigail which is the initial foundation for Abigail’s fear mongering. Miller’s use of dramatic imagery is obvious when Abigail damns Proctor’s wife during the mid-night dance and chants, only for her own personal gain as she is in love with Proctor.

The Government created fear in the 1950’s by producing propaganda posters such as those below.

Miller’s personal experiences have enriched the believability of The Crucible, as harsh punishments and interrogation techniques have been emphasized. One particular instance in The Crucible was the punishment given to Giles Corey for refusing to accept the charge of his involvement in witchery in order to keep ownership of his property.
“Great stones they lay upon his chest until he plead aye or nay.”[3]
