In Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible," the last people to be hanged are John Proctor, Rebecca Nurse, and Martha Corey. They are executed as a result of the Salem witch trials, which reflect the hysteria and injustice of the period. Proctor's hanging occurs after he refuses to confess to witchcraft, choosing instead to uphold his integrity. The play critiques the dangers of mass paranoia and the consequences of a flawed judicial system.
