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.

Arthur Miller portrays power in two drastically different ways: on the one hand, he depicts the power of the system overwhelming the individual by the trials themselves. Even though those convicted are clearly (from our point of view) innocent, the power of superstition and self-protection that plagues the majority greatly overwhelms the truth and justice of the minority. When it comes to the appearance of power, then, the majority rule triumphs. On the other hand, there are ways in which an individual can overcome the power of the majority, if not by action, than by attitude. The prime example here is Giles Cory. Even though he is pressed to death by stones, he does not cave to his executioners' will. Cory is perfectly aware of the power of individual strength, so he stolidly sets his will to hold out to the end and goes down fighting. In this way, he exercises an individual power that rings even more strongly than that of the majority.
Becauses she's afraid of what will happen to her, as the girls are already too far into the trial to back out.
Arthur Miller presented three accounts to show the subjective nature of truth and memory. Each character's perspective reveals their own biases, motivations, and interpretations of the events, highlighting the complexity and ambiguity of human experiences. This technique adds depth to the play's themes of justice, morality, and the impact of individual perspectives on collective truth.
Some common themes in Arthur Miller's writings include the American Dream, the individual versus society, the nature of truth and deception, the complexities of human relationships, and the repercussions of past actions on the present. Miller often explores these themes through the lens of family dynamics and social issues.
Not at all, most of it is completely embellished with a few nuggets of truth mixed in.

This quote from Arthur Miller suggests that fear can distort our judgment and perceptions, leading us to make decisions based on irrational or skewed perspectives. At the same time, the absence of fear can also impact our memory, making it harder to recall the truth of a situation accurately, as fear often influences our recollection of events. In essence, Miller is highlighting the complex influence of fear on both our thinking and memory processes.
