Question

What are some major characteristics of Puritan society in 17th Century Massachusetts Bay (The Crucible)?

Answer 1

I have not ever read The Crucible, but there are a number of online study guides, and quite a few other resources on the web that can help you with this play.  Most of them have quite a bit of good information.  Have a look at these sites, and you should get some help with your work.  If you do a search here in the Yahoo Answers search window you will find many other sources of help as quite a few questions have been asked here about The Crucible.
