Miller’s The Crucible (1953), written and performed at the
height of McCarthyism in the early 1950s, contextualizes the
tragic happenings in Salem Village and Salem Town,
Massachusetts, from June through September of 1692. The
unmistakable and frightening parallels between events at
Salem and the 1950s House Un-American Activities Committee
(HUAC) hearings present a powerful allegory for our
contemporary world, especially the horrendous events of 9/11
and their aftermath. The Crucible employs the historical events
of the Salem Witch Trials to develop a powerful critique of
moments in human history when reason and fact became
clouded by irrational fears and the desire to place the blame
for society’s failures and problems on certain individuals or

study aims at analyzing the way power is politically
manipulated in times of crisis. Hysteria, paranoia, and a
carefully constructed fear are common threads in all three
cases. The result is social stigmatization, stereotyping and
persecution of the worst kind. The play has a broad sweep of
moral contexts in which the mob mentality overrides personal
integrity and places blame on scapegoats as it proves easier to
do this than confront deep-rooted societal inadequacies,
created especially by global capitalism.
