We can combine the elements of "The Crucible" with the elements of Red Scare/McCarthyism as follows:
- A. Witchcraft = 6. Communism
- B. Abigail Williams = 4. Senator McCarthy
- C. The Devil's Book = 1. Blacklist
- D. Salem Courts = 2. HUAC
- E. John Proctor = 3. Arthur Miller
- F. Hysteria = 5. The Red Scare
- G. The Forest = 8. The Soviet Union
- H. Accused Witches = 7. Suspected Communists
We can arrive at this answer because:
- Arthur Miller, the screenwriter of "The Crucible" wanted to write a story that represented the moment of collective madness that was manifesting in the USA, due to fear of communism.
- This wave of dread and madness was established by Senator McCarthy who started a wave of accusations from people involved in communism in the same way that Abigail Williams accused people of accusing people of witchcraft in play.
- People accused of communism, who were tried by HUAC, are represented by people accused of witchcraft, who were tried by Salem Courts.
- The Soviet Union was considered the cradle of communism and in the play, the forest was considered the place where witches arose.
- For this reason, people became hysterical in fear of communism, just as in play people became hysterical in fear of witchcraft.
- People accused of being involved in communism went into a kind of blacklist, just like in the play, where people accused of witchcraft are believed to have their name in the devil's book.
Arthur Miller set himself up as a play character, played by John Proctor, who tried to report on the abuses caused by Abigail, but ended up being heavily punished.

1. Irony can best be defined as that middle ground between what is said and what is meant, or others’ understanding of what was said and what was meant. It can sometimes be a bit confusing, yet at the same time it can also be amusing. There are several examples of irony which can be summed up in various categories.<span>

2. </span>This type of irony may occur when the outcome of a certain situation is completely different than what was initially expected. It is often referred to as an “irony of events.”
Examples of irony in the situational category include a contradiction or sharp contrast.
<span>Example: A person who claims to be a vegan and avoids meat but will eat a slice of pepperoni pizza because they are hungry. It may not make sense, but it is an illustration of irony.Example: A man who is a traffic cop gets his license suspended for unpaid parking tickets.Example: An ambulance driver goes to a nightime bike accident scene and runs over the accident victim because the victim has crawled to the center of the road with their bike.</span><span>
3. </span>This type of irony can be attributed to some sort of misfortune. Usually cosmic irony is the end result of fate or chance.<span>Example: Gambling. If you are playing blackjack chances are you will be up (making money) for awhile, and then just when you thought things were going well, you lose it all.Example: The Titanic was promoted as being 100% unsinkable; but, in 1912 the ship sank on its maiden voyage.Example: At a ceremony celebrating the rehabilitation of seals after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska, at an average cost of $80,000 per seal, two seals were released back into the wild only to be eaten within a minute by a killer whale.</span>
Cosmic irony feeds on the notion that people cannot see the effects of their actions, and sometimes the outcome of a person’s actions may be out of their control.

Upon Hrothgar's requiest, Beowulf travels to Daneland to help the king get rid of the terrible monster named Grendel. The night after meeting with Hrothgar, Beowulf and his men wait for Grendel to arrive, after which he kills him with his bare hands. When Grendel's mother learned of his death, she fights Beowulf as an act of revenge and dies by his hand. Feasting ensues after which Beowulf and his men return to their home of Geat.
Years after these events, Beowulf becomes king in Geatland and has to defend his kingdom against a dragon who ultimately manages to defeat him in his old age.
