My modern day example of evil is Saddam Hussein. Everybody knows who he is. He is responsible for over 200,000 civilian deaths in Iraq alone. He's the reason the U.S. went to war with Iraq. He was eventually captured and executed on December 30, 2006. He dictated the Iraqi people for decades. He is also the reason for the Gulf War in the early 90s. This man was destined to do evil from the very minute he stepped into power.
Salem, Massachussettes was not quite as evil as Saddam Hussein and his ridiculous campaign but The Crucible helps to demonstrate how dangerous it was. "She comes to me every night to go and drink blood." Now thats something that just demonstrates evil. People were getting accused and executed in large numbers routinely; kind of like what happened in Iraq. The Crucible is just as bad because they were all innocent just like the civilians from Iraq. Evil is demonstrated all around us, but these are two big sources that can compare to eachother in several ways and they're both horrible incidents of unnecessary mann slaughter.
