During the Red Scare, particularly in the late 1940s and early 1950s, individuals were accused of being communists or communist sympathizers, often based on minimal evidence or mere suspicion. This was fueled by fears of Soviet influence during the Cold War, leading to widespread paranoia about espionage and subversion within the United States. Accusations often targeted government officials, entertainment figures, and intellectuals, resulting in blacklisting, job losses, and social ostracism. The climate of fear was exacerbated by high-profile investigations, such as those led by Senator Joseph McCarthy, which sought to root out alleged communist infiltrators.

What parallels did Miller see between the Salem witch trials and the Senate hearing?
Arthur Miller saw a number of parallels between the Salem witch trials and the Senate hearings during the Red Scare. [2] Miller saw liberals become paralyzed when they saw civil rights being violated and feared that they would be accused, just as the Puritans became fearful of speaking out. The Red Scare, like the witch trials, dominated people's minds. Just as Proctor spoke out against the accusations, Miller believed that individuals could still speak out. Also, people could be excused from the accusations by naming others during the Red Scare, just as the accused in Salem could escape the consequences by naming others. [3] Those who wield power can use similar tactics to try to intimidate others, but people need to use their individual powers to fight back.
