The correct answer is the following:<em> option a. The historical purpose of Miller's The Crucible is to be a reminder of the consequences of mass hysteria.</em> American author Arthur Miller first published The Crucible, a play based on the witch trials of Salem, in 1953. The historical purpose of Miller's work was to be a reminder of the consequences of mass hysteria, which he thought was relevant for the current times. Miller wrote The Crucible to show how mass hysteria can create chaos and deep damage to a community, as a way to antagonize what Senator McCarthy was imposing in the country, by conducting a "witch hunt" against any American suspected of being a communist. By creating a story based on the Salem trials, Miller succeeded in drawing a parallel between those old times and the current events that were happening in America, both created as consequences of mass hysteria.
