Arthur Miller's The Crucible is considered a tragedy for its saddening content involving accusation of former friends, revelation of the truth, and the internal struggle behind the main characters. Throughout the play, unfair and false accusation in every direction for no good reason, lies are uncovered but somehow seem true to the town of Salem, and the characters of John and Elizabeth Proctor, John Hale, and Samuel Parris constantly struggle between what is right and what is practical. All of the happenings conclude in the slaying of many innocent persons, and therefore is considered a tragedy.
