http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Miller

The Crucible was an analogy for the Macarthyite Un american activities commission and the witch hunts of the 1950s.

..but quoting big chunks of Wiki will be spotted. If you are too lazy to research it yourself at least try and paraphrase a little.


tchah! kids !

lol-the allusion to the red baiters "if it looks like a duck quacks like a duck...":nice:

Im not lazy to reasearch i picked the hardest of the questions and im really confused with it. I just cant figure out what it means and what to put.

That wasn't such a hard question when I read the play. Or maybe you just have a load of easy questions. . .

we didnt even read it yet so i guess that makes it harder for me but i am really stumped on this and the teacher didnt really help when i asked

during the red scare the House of Unamerican activites cornered a bunch of artists and accused them of being communists-the Crucible is about that

Go to the Wikipedia link above - that will give you an outline of his life AND political beliefs.

Fat Mike's brief description above is the whole thing in a nutshell, Miller was using a historical event to comment about current events.

If you've seen the Jon Stewart book "America - A history of Democracy Inaction" - that uses historic events to make points about today's Administration.
