your answer

Explanation:

Answer:

Miller highlights the Salem townspeople's preference for taking land from heathens (Indians) over Christians. This reflects their self - serving motives, which mirror the corrupt and self - interested behavior in The Crucible, where characters like Abigail use accusations for personal gain. As Miller writes, “the Salem townspeople would rather take land from heathens than Christians,” showing a parallel between land - grabbing and the false accusations in the play.
