it showed the dangers of witch hunts?
During the early 1950s. It was published in 1953.
During the trials, it meant absolutely nothing. The Crucible didn't exist. The Crucible, written in the 1950s, is very loosely based on the events of the trials and the author, Arthur Miller, used that loose basis to criticize the McCarthyists in the Senate.
The Crucible was not written during the Red Scare, but later on in response to the brutality of the Red Scare.
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.
The Crucible was set in Salem, Massachusetts during the late 1600s. Considering the time period and location, though I don't think it ever officially states it, the religion active during the play would most likely be Puritanism.

Arthur Miller named his play "The Crucible" because a crucible is a vessel used for melting or purifying metals, reflecting the intense heat and pressure the characters experience in the play. Metaphorically, the title represents the intense trials and tests the characters face during the Salem witch trials.

The Crucible is a play by Arthur Miller about the story of the Salem Witch Trials that took place during 1692 and 1693. It opens with a group of girls dancing nude in the woods at night around a boiling pot of witches' brew. Reverend Parris finds them, and his 10 year old daughter, Betty Parris, faints upon his finding.
The crucible must be weighted at a constant temperature, generally 20 oC. During an analytical determination - for example - all the weighings must be made at the same temperature. Also a hot crucible has a negative influence on the balance.
mccarthyism=witchcraft=the crucible!! am studyin it gcse lol x
If you're talking about works of literature to compare with The Crucible, especially if you're looking for something for a book report, at least one work that you could use is the Christian Bible, particularly a translation which was in common use during either the time Miller wrote the story or during the time period of the story itself (1690s, Puritan New England).
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."
