 The Crucible is based on true events that occurred during the Salem Witch Trials in the winter of  The play was first produced in 1953  The Red Scare of the McCarthy era provided a controversial parallel to The Crucible.

 Arthur Miller ( )  Was accused of being a communist and ended up being “blacklisted” by the government.  320 artists, writers, and entertainers were blacklisted.  Wrote over 30 plays  Won both a Pulitzer Prize and a Tony Award.  Many of his plays focused on, “death and betrayal and injustice and how we are to account for this little life of ours”

 Fear of communism in 1940s-1950s.  Leader: Senator Joseph McCarthy  Believed communists had infiltrated the American government, public, and entertainment industry.  His accusations were later proven to be untrue.  The House of Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) “All we want is the truth as w e see it.”

 Thousands of Americans were interrogated.  Many ended up having to go on trials  The trials were terrifying and highly publicized.  Consequences  Passports revoked  Loss of job  Home and business could be taken by the government  Reputation ruined  Thrown in jail  In the case of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg-execution  The Red Scare affected people from all backgrounds. Some famous individuals that were accused include:  Arthur Miller  Charlie Chaplin  Orson Wells  Lucille Ball  Julia Child

 The repercussions of one person’s sins affected the whole community.  Imagination, dancing, and reading “unapproved” books was frowned upon.  Believed that women and children were meant to be seen and not heard.  Strong belief that Satan was actively involved in the world.  Type of government: Theocracy  As we read The Crucible think about how these things contributed to the hysteria and paranoia of the Salem Witch Trials.
