Joseph McCarthy and Arthur Miller did not have a personal relationship, but their lives intersected during the era of McCarthyism in the early 1950s. McCarthy, a U.S. Senator, led a campaign against alleged communists in government and other sectors, which created a climate of fear and suspicion. Miller, a playwright, famously critiqued this climate in his work "The Crucible," drawing parallels between the Salem witch trials and the Red Scare. While they were both prominent figures of their time, their paths did not cross directly.
