McCarthyism Crucible has parallels to accusations of the 1950s Communism scare of Senator Joseph McCarthy - Red Scare or Red Hunt Writers, actors, & all kinds of other people were summoned to appear before McCarthy to answer the question: Are you now or were you ever a Communist? They were also required to inform on neighbors & friends or be sent to jail.
Most known for  Winning a Pulitzer Prize for Drama Marrying Marilyn Monroe (1956) Refusing to give evidence before the  House Un-American Activities Committee
The Crucible 1692 Salem, Mass. Not successful in first production - critics questioned the comparison between the old witch-hunts and the contemporary hunt for Communists. Later ran for 600 performances.  It is now Millers most produced play.
The Crucible Definitions: A container made of a substance that can resist great heat, for melting, fusing, or calcining ores, metals, etc. A severe test or trial
The Crucible Premise - young girls are caught acting strange - witchcraft is blamed.  The girls begin accusing townspeople of influencing and being involved in the craft.  Mass hysteria takes hold and the witch trials begin.  Several members of Massachusetts families are accused, jailed, and many are executed.
Puritan Ideals Suffered religious persecution in Old World Came to New World for religious freedom Became persecutors in America (for religious differences of others) Predestination - receive divine salvation Theocracy - govt. controlled by church Sinner: openly confess, repent, pay penance
Puritan Ideals Believed PLEASANT things were from Devil - women could not dress pretty - children could not play games - theatres were forbidden - dancing was a sin Believed in witches in society Believed devil lurked in the forest to trap man
