Arthur Miller wrote "The Crucible" for three main reasons. First he wanted to write the play as an allegory of McCartheyism. Secondly, he wanted to save his career, since he could have been blacklisted by the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Thirdly, he wanted to convey a major historical event in a concise and impactful way.

Why is The Crucible by Arthur Miller not an allegory?

The Crucible is not an allegory, although many mistake it to be for obvious reasons. The Crucible was written, in part, because Arthur Miller (the playwright) was angered at his friend during The Red Scare. His friend, Kahn, reported a list of government names who were taking inside steps towards communism. Miller, upset at his good friends false accusations, wrote The Crucible shortly after.However, the Crucible's characters are almost historically accurate, three dimensional characters, two aspects rarely found in allegory. Crucible is often read to learn about the destructive nature of man and what reputation and greed can do to and/or for a person.
