The Crucible by Arthur Miller
During the McCarthy Period, Arthur Miller, a popular playwright, wrote The Crucible, a Broadway play about the Salem witch trials. This suspenseful play about a true story kept the audience on the edge of their chairs. Miller made this story interesting and tried to prove to the audience how insane these "witch hunters" were. The play begins with a few young girls who suspect there are witches among them. Other than Miller puting some of the characters in a bad light, this play accurately informs its readers and listeners on the McCarthy Period and the witch trials of Salem, Massacusetts. With a theme of justice and fairness, Miller tells a story that shows the audience that we have and we will make mistakes. The Salem witch trials was among those horrible mistakes and misbeliefs in history.
