Why was The Crucible written?
it was written in response to McCarthyism during which he was accusing artists of being communist or knowing them. Miller felt these events were parallel to the Salem witch trials in Massachusetts. Arthur Miller, the author of The Crucible, was alive during the Red Scare. This was a time period in which people were accused of being or being friends with communists. If you were thought to be a communist, you were "blacklisted" This meant that the government kept a close eye on you. Arthur Miller was blacklisted. We don't know if he was a communist or not, but we do know that many people who were accused were not. He was angry that he had become blacklisted, so he wrote The Crucible. If you don't know what the Crucible is about, it is about the Salem Witch trials. During this time, people were being called witches. Basically, he wrote the play to say "Look, it has been hundreds of years, and our country has not advanced. People are still doing the same things that they did during the colonial period."

How many children did Arthur Miller have?
He had 2 adopted children. His wife Helen was ill and had a hysterectomy shortly after they were married, so they weren't able to have their own children.
How does John Proctor's great dilemma change during the course of the play The Crucible by Arthur Miller?
John Proctor initially seeks to protect his secret, his affair with Abigail. As the play progresses, the internal conflict becomes overwhelming, and after his failed attempt to bring negative attention to Abigail, he comes to learn that even his admission to adultery is not enough to change the fate of the accused. Despite John's indescretion, he is still a man of pride, and his refusal to make a false confession highlights the shift in his dilemma. In fact, because of his decision, he must suffer the same fate. In essence, his great dilemma expands from protecting himself and his reputation, or doing what he can to try to save the life of others and reveal Abigail at the same time
Why does Reverend Hale state you denounce these proceedings I quit this court?
If you are talking about Arthur Miller's The Crucible, Reverend Hale denounced and quit the court because he no longer agreed with what they were doing. He realized that the court's motives and strategies for weeding out Salem's "witches" were unjust, and wanted nothing to do with the process. He was truly courageous in standing up for what he believed in.
