Answer:

During the time Miller wrote "The Crucible" it was 1952 and Senator McCarthy was conducting a "witch hunt" against any American suspected of being a communist. During the McCarthy era, people were accused of being communist based on opinions with no evidence at times. Miller could not directly blame Senator McCarthy for accusing people without proof because then they would think he himself was a communist and he would be punished. Instead, he referred back to the Salem Witch trials knowing that the same scenario was happening present-day 1950s, as it did back in the 1690s. Both of the situations matched up arguably parallel to one another due to them both having the same theme and structure. So basically Miller crafted The Crucible as an allegory to indirectly relate it to what was happening at the time and also to target Senator McCarthy without being accused of communism.

Arthur Miller crafted The Crucible as an allegory by basing his characters off of real people that went through the Salem Witch Trials. Arthur Miller was called in during the Red Scare and was asked if he ever knew any Communists that threatened America. Miller felt attacked and wrote The Crucible to show how he saw the whole incident. He compared the experience to the court cases in the Witch Trials in which people were forced to betray their friends and family.

If that isn't enough, or what you are looking for, you can finish it, but I have to go so that's all I have right now.

Have a blessed day!

Answer & Explanation:

This quote shows the meaning that if you were to take away a way of doing things, such as a habit then a person is lost. A good example of this would be a child has to take their medications in the morning and they've formed a habit of taking them at exactly eight in the morning. When you break the child's habit, they are lost, they might forget to take their medications all together which may cause confusion or chaos even. I agree with this statement because when you change something a person is so used to it can create a worse scenario, such as confusion, as stated above. It doesn't usually end very well at all. Someone's attitude can affect a situation because, for say, if a person has a bad attitude going into a conflict with another person it may create a worse situation for both people and may only cause more trouble while if someone has a good attitude and is being positive then the conflict may be resolved rather quickly.

Summary:

This quote shows the meaning that if you were to take away a way of doing things, such as a habit then a person is lost. Breaking a habit may cause confusion or chaos even within the person. I agree with this statement because when you change something a person is so used to it can create a worse scenario, such as confusion, as stated above.  Someone's attitude can affect a situation because, for say, if a person has a bad attitude going into a conflict with another person it may create a worse situation for both people and may only cause more trouble while if someone has a good attitude and is being positive then the conflict may be resolved rather quickly.

Hope this helped you out~! Have a wonderful day!
