    Arthur Miller’s The Crucible focuses on the Salem Witch Trials along with the pointing of fingers that went along with it. Miller wrote this to reflect upon what was occurring during the Red Scare in the 1940’s and 1950’s. The Crucible is written in an ironic and cynical tone mocking the Red Scare. During the Red Scare, many were arrested and prosecuted for allegedly being Communists. Miller took these accusations and made a mockery of them in The Crucible. “The Salem tragedy… developed a paradox

    People are very easily scared. It’s a natural human trait right? Well in the late 1600’s, this trait was dramatically demonstrated with the witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts, when the fear of witchcraft came about. “The crucible” was a play written about these events, in which I strongly believe that a character in the play, named Abigail, was the cause of this mass hysteria because she was a great actor, used witchcraft as an excuse to get her way, and was very manipulative. Abigail Williams

    In The Crucible, there were many important quotes that were said. Author Miller had a lot of highlighted scenes that made the play interesting. The play, in my eyes, is based on three important quotes. In the play, I believe it's mainly based around the thought of witchcraft. Firstly, many died because they were accused of committing witchery, or have falsely been seen with “the Devil.” For example, on page 1134, Putnam states “Don't you understand it, sir. There is a murdering witch among
