Happiness And Lying In The Crucible '

In a society that demands conformity individuals always suffer. Individuals dying not having happiness and lying is a massive reason as to why individuals are always suffering. In the year of wonders the plague is the main reason why everyone suffers. There’s really no happiness around as individuals have to focus more on surviving the plague rather than their own happiness and well-being. There are many examples during years of wonders where this is quite evident. From “The memories of happiness are fleeting things, reflections in a stream, glimpsed all broken for a second and then swept away in the current of grief that is our life now.” (1.1.13) to “Do we not have suffering enough in this village? Is there not Death enough here for you all that you bring the crime of murder amongst us as well?” (2.5.50) to “It seemed as if the flesh inside of him was dying while he yet breathed, the putrefying meat pushing and bursting its way out of his failing body.” (2.5.17) it is quite evident that this town suffers and it really all leads to the current events happening and the things that people are going through. In the crucible having happiness is also a task, there are a few different reasons as to why however, it’s more to do with people’s actions that causes all this and eventually also results in death.
