The Crucible tells about the Salem panic using facts that make the panic into a close parallel with McCarthyism.
mccarthyism=witchcraft=the crucible!! am studyin it gcse lol x
The Crucible is a play by Arthur Miller in which he mangled facts and theories about the trials to create an allegory to McCarthyism in the 1950s.
The main difference is that McCarthyism was a real political period in the United States when Senator McCarthy tried to scare the people that Communism was leaking into our government whereas The Crucible is a play about the Salem Witch trials.
its the same
Miller was trying to make an allegory to McCarthyism. The Salem witchcraft scare was easy to manipulate to create the result he wanted and was distant enough from McCarthyism he could talk his way out of a sedition lawsuit or being called out as a communist.
As Cold War paranoia pervaded the country, Miller penned his third major play, The Crucible (1953), as a response to 1950s McCarthyism. :)
He is demonstrating an analogy between the Salem witch trials and the anti-communist ideals of McCarthyism in the 1950's otherwise known as the Red Scare.
The correct way to phrase the question is "How is the Crucible related to the Salem Witch Trials." More important and/or older event first. The Crucible is a play that mangles facts and theories about the trials to create an allegory to 1950s McCarthyism.
Arthur Miller wrote The Crucible.
First, I must point out that the correct phrasing is 'how would McCarthyism connect to the Salem Witch trials" as the Salem panic occurred earlier. That being said, there is no direct connection. Nothing that happened in Salem affected or influenced McCarthyism. However, they are often associated because of Arthur Miller's Crucible, a play extremely loosely based on the events Salem. Miller wrote the play using the most general facts about Salem to juxtapose the two in order to show the similarities between the ridiculous nature of the Salem accusations and the McCarthyist accusations.
Abigail was in the forest with Tituba in the book Crucible by Arthur Miller.
