"The Crucible," while inspired by the Salem witch trials, differs significantly in its focus on individual motivations and moral dilemmas. Arthur Miller uses the historical context to explore themes of hysteria, reputation, and the consequences of mass paranoia, emphasizing the personal struggles of characters like John Proctor. Unlike the actual trials, which were primarily driven by fear of witchcraft, the play highlights the dangers of extremism and the impact of societal pressures on personal integrity. Additionally, Miller's work serves as an allegory for McCarthyism, reflecting concerns about political persecution in his own time rather than solely recounting historical events.
