The document provides background information on Arthur Miller's play The Crucible, including the historical contexts of Puritanism, the Salem witch trials of 1692, and McCarthyism in the 1950s. Miller used The Crucible to draw parallels between the hysteria of the Salem witch trials and the anti-communist witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy during the Red Scare. The document also summarizes some of the main characters in The Crucible like Abigail Williams, John Proctor, and Elizabeth Proctor.
