In Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible," the primary historical figures portrayed include John Proctor, a farmer and protagonist; Abigail Williams, his former lover and the main antagonist; Elizabeth Proctor, John’s wife; and Reverend John Hale, a minister who initially supports the witch trials but later seeks to stop them. Other notable characters are Deputy Governor Danforth, who oversees the trials, and Tituba, a slave who plays a key role in the events that unfold. The play is set during the Salem witch trials of 1692 and dramatizes the moral complexities and societal pressures of the time.
The Crucible was merely a dramatization of the Salem Witch trials, not the actual trials. Therefore, all the characters in the Crucible are adaptions of real people at the real trials.

No and yes. The Crucible is work of fiction centering around the Salem witch trials, so its characters are real people involved in the trials. However, not all the real people are there and the stories and bios of those who are were mangled while he wrote the book.
