SUMMARY:The Crucible
DESCRIPTION:by Arthur Miller\n“I believe that the reader will discover here the essential nature of one of the strangest and most awful chapters in human history,” Arthur Miller wrote of his classic play about the witch-hunts and trials in seventeenth-century Salem, Massachusetts.\nBased on historical people and real events, Miller’s drama is a searing portrait of a community engulfed by hysteria.\nIn the rigid theocracy of Salem, rumours that women are practicing witchcraft galvanize the town’s most basic fears and suspicions; and when a young girl accuses Elizabeth Proctor of being a witch, self-righteous church leaders and townspeople insist that Elizabeth be brought to trial.\nThe ruthlessness of the prosecutors and the eagerness of neighbour to testify against neighbour brilliantly illuminates the destructive power of socially sanctioned violence.\nWritten in 1953, The Crucible is a mirror Miller uses to reflect the anti-communist hysteria inspired by Senator Joseph McCarthy’s “witch-hunts” in the United States. Within the text itself, Miller contemplates the parallels, writing, “Political opposition… is given an inhumane overlay, which then justifies the abrogation of all normally applied customs of civilized behaviour. A political policy is equated with moral right, and opposition to it with diabolical malevolence.”\nCast & Crew\nCast\n \nCrew\n \n							\n														\n							\n														\n							\n														\n							\n									\n
