“The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all its own for the children, and the children yet unborn.”
The idea of suspicion feeds the minds of other. This quote explains the behavioral pattern of close friends and even strangers when uncertain events occur. Can the out of ordinary make you react in survival mode, Serling is saying that humans act in means to live, regardless if they prosecute other innocent men and women the means to live are greater then another's life. Looking back on the Crucible Abagail's attempts to convince others hen the pressure is on her results in many lives taken.
