The Crucible Act 1 Quote

"Proctor. I seen none dyin'. This society will not be a bad to swing around your head, Mr. Putnam (to Parris) Did you call a meeting before you-?
Putman. I am sick of meetings; cannot the man turn his head without he have a meeting?
Porctor. He may turn his head, but not to Hell!" (151)

In this quote we can see that during that time, everyone was related and know each other. Everyone cares about what is going on in their society and in their townspeople's lives. They believes that the movement and every action of the people in the town should be known from everyone else. For example in this quote we can see that they have to call meetings and tell everyone what is going on. In their society, they believed that everyone should work together and that problems should be notified and solved by everyone. You can see that there are still people who don't want to, for example, Putman. But then Proctor immediately said that it is wrong to not to have a meeting. And throughout the whole story, everyone keeps one telling Parris that he has to tell everyone what is going on. This is like the Scarlet Letter because in the book we can see that everyone knows what is going on and the punishment and the things Hester did was notified to everyone in the town. Everyone knows what the A stands for on her chest. To the Puritans, sins should be public and everyone should know what is going on.
