For his play The Crucible. Similar to George Orwell's Animal Farm, this play pointed out a problem in society through a story that everyone could understand:

It emphasized the factor of fear involved in "witch hunts" of their own day and age, and the unfairness and lack of logic or reason behind the Red Scare. Led by Senator Joseph McCarthy, the Red Scare involved fear of communism during the time of the Cold War. Shortly after the play was published, Miller was blacklisted for creating a work that indirectly undermined Senator McCarthy's judgment and authority.
