1. One of the reasons Arthur Miller wrote this play to comment on the movement in the 1950’s led by senator Joe McCarthy to seek and identify members of the Communist Party that he felt were trying to overthrow the government. This movement ruined many innocent people because of its drive to seek what it thought to be the truth no matter who was hurt in the process. Write about another historical event that might be considered similar to this one and compare it to the Salem Witch Hunt. Make sure you use specific details from both the play and from the historical event you choose. Some possibilities:
the internment of Japanese citizens during World War II
victims of the AIDS hysteria (Ryan White and others)
Rosewood incident
The Holocaust (Shoah)
The Scotsboro trial
Kent State Riots
Civil Rights Movement – riots in Watts, Detroit, Newark or Chicago
Anthrax, SARS, or another aspect of America post 9/11
Steroid scandal in baseball
