By signing, he would live but go to hell, but if he does not sign, he will be killed and be sent to heaven. This goes more than a growing nose, or even just death, but it is his eternal life at

    Arthur Miller’s book The Crucible, expressed both sad and interesting tales of the times most considered outrageous. Not only were the witch hunts unpredictable and non-valid but anybody could be accused of practicing witchcraft- even the preachers and children. Unfortunately, this was the same situation that occurred with the Red Scare that occurred after World War II. No matter what age, race or religious view one had, everyone was considered a suspect. Even those who would never dare to think or act any different from the majority were put on the stand- which almost always ended tragically. Arthur Miller uses the History in his book to show how ignorance and faulty power holders can lead to even the most respectful and well known people to go down in flames.…

    In the play, The Crucible, there are a variety of characters that serve various purposes, a primary one being a representative of the people that were actually present during the Salem Witch Trials and The McCarthyism era. Albeit different people, many of the people presented in both of these times had similar roles to play in the grand scheme of things, and thus, Arthur Miller created Abigail Williams and Elizabeth Proctor to portray two kinds of people that were present. We are comparing Abigail and Elizabeth due to their stark differences in personality and character. In the play, Abigail serves an antagonist role, fully utilizing her devious nature to bring about chaos in the Salem village, and even more so, bring destruction in the Proctor house. Whereas, Elizabeth, with all her righteousness and chivalry, attempts to save her family, and also try to reason with the reverend to persuade them to use better judgment. They both play different roles in the play, and it naturally the consequences of their actions are remotely different.…

    Arthur Miller’s play “The Crucible” was first published in 1953 during the politically tumultuous time of McCarthyist America. By depicting how the Salem theocracy spiraled out of control in 1692, Miller draws a parallel between the mass hysteria present in the witch hunts of the period and the Red Scare during the Cold War. The play’s central character and tragic hero is John Proctor. Miller highlights how people speaking out against mass hysteria are like Proctor and are “…always marked for calumny therefore.”( p27). While Proctor’s immense pride is his major flaw, audiences align and view him as the ultimate voice of reason in the repressed Salem community. Initially, he is a man of dignity and integrity, however he is self-loathing and guilty because of his adulterous affair with his former servant, Abigail Williams. By the end of the play, despite losing his life and public integrity, Proctor is a changed man who has resolved his personal internal conflict.…
