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.
How and why was Arthur Miller accused for being a communist and what was the result?
Arthur Miller wrote The Crucible, a story of Puritan Settlers in Salem which was widely viewed as a lampoon of sorts on senator McCarthy's pursuit of communists. In The Crucible, people are judged by an incompetent who takes as true, the wild accusations of a group of adolescent girls.
