Why did Miller write The Crucible?

Arthur Miller wrote The Crucible to explain to the US people about the tactics "if you're not with us your against us" of Senator McCarthy, who fostered a "witch hunt" against Americans who were communists. Americans were afraid of communism, which he represented as the witches in The Crucible. Miller thought that the audience might see their own times, their own fears and dilemmas reflected in the themes of the crucible.

Why does elizabeth mistrust john her husband in The Crucible by Arthur Miller?

I remember reading The Crucible junior year of high school. While I don't remember everything to a tee. I have an idea of why she lied. People during that time had very strong religious beliefs. They lived and died by them. Obviously, most of them where flawed. Elizabeth wanted to protect her husband. She loved him. He already had so much against him. Like plowing on a Sabbath Day. Which they considered unholy. If she hadn't lied it would have only hurt the family more at that time.


In the play the crucible what is parris real reason for pleading for postponement of the execution?

Reverend Parris changes his plea In Act iV. Previously, he had fervently accused John Proctor, Elizabeth Proctor, Rebecca Nurse, and Martha Corey as witches, but now, after he found a note and dagger at his door, he is fearful for his life because people no longer support him. He fears that if anyone confesses then people will start to believe in witches again.


What does Abigail threaten to do to the girls if they tell about the casting of spells in the woods?

Abigail pretends that there's a yellow bird in the room, but there's really nothing there where she is looking at. Her eyes open wide and she points to the spot on the wall where the "invisible bird" is. Danforth grows confused and terrified, thinking that Abigail is possessed and actually falls for it, thinking it all to not be a figment of Abigail's imagination, but real.
