Community+conflict

= 9Type of conflict: community conflict = Miller represents a small community attempting to enforce uniform religious beliefs. However the community was deeply divided. Conflict was generated by a predilection for minding other people's business, which undoubtedly created many of the suspicions which were to feed the coming madness. ( page 14). Uncharitable gossip was rife, and Parris's parlour “ was packed with people drawn accordingto Abigail, because the rumour of witchcraft is all about”. (Page 18). The community was also highly litigious and Giles Corey implies that this too was the devil's work. I am at 33 times in court in mylife. And always the plaintiff. ( page86). Miller presents a litany of bitter disputes over property. Thomas Putnam, for example, resorts to the courts in anattempt to break the disadvantageous terms of his father's will. And he was engaged in a bitter land dispute with John Proctor. (Page 23, 36). Francis Nurse whose rise in social status isresented by some, fought a land war through the courts with Putnam. The squabble growing to the proportions of a battle in the woods between partisans of both sides. And it is said to have lasted two days”.
