Having guilt causing many people to take very extreme actions and hide from the truth; but when people confess to their guilt they feel renewed and accept their consequences. During The Crucible; guilt took these effects on many of the townspeople, all due the girls having guilt in the beginning of the story. When the girls were caught for dancing naked in the woods, they blamed it on Tituba then other townspeople to try and hide from the consequences. Then they kept creating new stories and accusing people to stay out of trouble. One of the accused was John Proctor who ended up confessing to the accusation but then taking it back and confessing to his guilt. This made him feel whole again and no longer mad at himself. During all of this time, there was great strife and fear in the town; people were not able to focus properly and everyone was living in fear not being able to enjoy their lives at the time. If you had been caught for something so severe as what the girls were caught for, would you blame someone else or would you take the blame for yourself and just make things easier for everyone around
