The political events that shaped the play are related to the role Senator Joseph Mc Carthy played in the U.S Congress during the Cold War with the Soviet Union - after World War II-. Mc Carthy was totally against communists. He wanted to root out any potential communism sympathizer. His policies caused a wave of paranoia in the US.
Religious is reflected in the setting. The play was set in Puritan New England in 1692. This religious fact was used by Miller to make a comparison between what the Puritans did to a group of colonists accused of witchcraft and what Mc Carthy did to potential communists. In the play, the Massachusetts government and the Judicial System got influenced by Puritanism. As a consequence, the colonists that had been accused of witchcraft were sent to prison. McCarthy 's policies could have the same effect on communist sympathizers.
Social events were related to artistic events. McCarthy's search for potential communists affected the government and the entertainment industry. Besides, there was an organization , the House of Un -American Activities Committee, that investigated connections between artists , people from the popular media; famous writers and communists. Miller was shocked by these activities.
It is important to use proper grammar and punctuation while texting, especially in formal or professional situations. If sentences are not correctly punctuated, the receiver may not completely understand what is being said or might mis-interpret the information.
I think we do have the responsibility to see knowledge from literature. I think books can be used to better us as humans by giving us more knowledge about a certain event that has happened or is happening. Sadly books can't make the world a better place because in the end it comes down to one person able to do that and that one person is yourself we can't count on other people to try and make the world a better place when it's the world you live in and if you want change your going to be the one to try and make it first.
