The events in Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible" are used by him to mirror the events in America of the time. At the time it was written, a crazy senator named Joseph McCarthy used fear to sway the Americans to persecute and arrest certain people for "communism" without any proof at all. They could be famous actors or actresses, random men and women, anything, and, without having done anything wrong, would get arrested for Communism. In the play, two crazy kids decide to run a plot where they use the town of Salem's common fear of witchcraft to accuse everyone in the town of witchcraft with no proof, in an event known as the "Salem Witch Trials".
