Question

Please, I need help with this!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Miller actually wrote the Crucible based on the events of the McCarthy era, and thus will turn communism into diabolism.

At the point in which the book was based (1692), Puritanism was a dying trend, with its final ‘revival’ being the Trials. (The Trials are actually a major part of Act 3)

Miller is turning the Devil into a scapegoat for the people of Salem’s bizarre behaviors. Is your child calling out to her dead mother? It’s the devil’s fault. Are your daughters’ dancing in the woods in a less than appropriate fashion? It’s the devil’s fault.

Similar to the communism trend, the book shows how people who supposedly studied diabolism were everywhere, and had to be prosecuted.

He’s quite frankly saying diabolism is a large witch hunt!
