Two themes in The Crucible are “personal conflicts often underlie social conflicts” and “people see what they want to believe.”

How do these two themes interact in the play?

The Crucible, Act 2, Part 3

Parris insists that his salary is not enough for a minister, and he quickly calls Reverend Hale for support in the witch hunt.
Abigail drinks a potion to kill Elizabeth Proctor, and she then possibly accuses Elizabeth of witchcraft.
Mrs. Putnam, who has lost many children, grows suspicious of Rebecca Nurse, who has a large family, when Nurse doubts the existence of witchcraft.
Proctor and Putnam get into an argument over land, and Proctor avoids going to church when he can.

"the day we found the sharks' teeth" i would say highlight the element of the plot as it sets its boundaries and centers the adventures of them being on a boat and cleaning spit of sand.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
