The drama reflects Miller's view and McCarthy's view, and what he considers to resemble Salem witch hunting. Proctor is the hero who Miller uses to reflect the unfairness of trial in Salem and McCarthy and how the truth of the 1950s died. This makes the role of Proctor extremely convincing and exciting.
