The Dursleys treat Harry very cruelly in regards to his magic. How
does fear drive their actions? How does fear control us, and why
might it be hard to be tolerant of others when afraid?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The main social function of referring to things as "magic" is to explain what we do not understand and, therefore, what we are likely to fear. There are any number of historical examples involving hysteria over witches and wizards started by people very much like the Dursleys. The Puritans of Salem in 1692 were very much the same type of suspicious zealots and were also motivated largely by fear of the unknown.
