‘The Crucible’ as an Allegory for McCarthyism

"Crucible" is a fable. A fable is a story of a clear meaning, but if you carefully study it, it has a different meaning. In this case, the obvious meaning is Salem's hunting witch and the hidden meaning is McCarthyism. McCarthyism started in the early 1950s, and the government's condemnation has no evidence. Joseph McCarthy started trying those who thought he was a communist, but he had no evidence to prove it. This is the same as the witch trial of The Crucible. Arthur Miller wrote this article in response to McCarthyism.

This was basically a hunt, during which the US government (led by Senator McCarthy) put a so-called Communist on the blacklist during what is called (Red Panic). Properly, the allegorical drama on "witch hunting" in the 1950s was actually about true witch hunting. The play was held in Salem, Massachusetts, based on the true story of the Salem Witch trial. Kruger's Berg tells the story of John Procter and his wife Elizabeth and his mistress Abigail Williams. And they are involved in delusions with hysterical witch trials.
