The Crucible is a play that takes place in Salem, Massachusetts during the 17th century and is based on true events. The Puritans believed in witchcraft and were gullible. At the start of the play, the audience learns some girls were caught dancing naked in the woods by Reverend Parris. They had supposedly “conjured up spirits” and this led to the accusations of the girls as witches. In order to escape the punishment, they accuse other women of the town of being witches.

The Crucible is a fictional play written by Arthur Miller based on the Salem Witch Trials of the late 1600s. It was used by Miller to condemn the orchestrators of the panic called the Red Menace (Navasky 79).

The Crucible was written in 1953 by an American playwright named Arthur Miller. The play was written about the Salem witch trials that took place in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1692. In the play, a jealous young girl who is angered by her ex-lover deciding to be with his wife starts a movement to accuse people of being witches in a last attempt to be with him. But the accusing isn’t the only time that falsehoods are told; instead, they are present throughout the play, deep in the story, making people twist and turn to lay the blame on other people. Some of the characters pretended to be possessed to avoid punishment, and others confessed to sins they never committed. Those acts are just a few examples of the lies that took place throughout the story. The key driving factor of all the actions and main plot elements that took place in Arthur Miller’s play, The Crucible, were driven by lies and deceit because all the actions throughout the play can be routed back to them.

They’re able to live out their beliefs and freely be who they are, without being afraid of being judged or persecuted in doing so. Sadly, this is no longer the case for all people, and it’s very clear that there are distinct similarities with this and the novel, “The Crucible,” we read based on the persecution of those who were accused of witchcraft back in 1692.

The Crucible, written by Arthur Miller is a four act historical fiction drama centered around the Salem witch trials of 1692. The Puritans were very religious people, and Salem was governed by a theocracy based on the Bible. The witch trials began when a group of girls, no older than seventeen, were caught by the Rev. Parris dancing and "casting spells" in the woods. Rev. Parris' daughter, Betty, knew that she would eventually get in trouble for breaking the rules, she pretended to be unconscious. To clear their names, Betty, her cousin, Abigail, and the other girls accused anyone they could of witchcraft. In Salem, any accusations, or suspicions would be enough to imply that someone is a witch. Superstitions played a huge role during the trials, many of the Puritans believed in every superstitious sign there was. Things such as the number seven, a death, or a charm aroused feelings of worry.

They blame their behavior on witchcraft and begin to accuse certain people they do not like or get along with of practicing witchcraft on them. Salem’s community is very religious and fears the Devil and his powers, the slightest suspicion of sorcery causes panic. Even without evidence against the convicted people, the community and court believe the girls’ claims and execute everyone that is accused of witchcraft. The Loudun Possessions are witchcraft accusations that take place in Loudun France in 1634. A nun named Sister Jeanne claims that she has been taunted and possessed by demons. A priest named Urbain Grandier is accused of forcing witchcraft upon her and is later ruled guilty and burned at the stake.
