The Crucible by Arthur Miller is a dramatic play set during the Salem witch trials of 1692, where fear and suspicion lead to widespread accusations of witchcraft. The story follows a community unraveling as personal rivalries, religious extremism, and mass hysteria drive people to falsely accuse others, often to protect themselves or settle scores. Although based on historical events, the play is also an allegory for McCarthyism in 1950s America, exploring themes of integrity, power, and moral courage under pressure.
