Crucible and The Scarlet Lette

            
             The storys The Crucible and The Scarlet Letter both have society and .
             environmental circumstances that drives the characters to behave how they do. The characters .
             John Proctor, Hester Pryne, and Arthur Dimmesdale are characters who are influenced by their .
             storys society or environment exposure. An environmental influence or condition can effect a .
             person either by forcing the person to exist in an unusual way of life or the person is used to it .
