The Crucible

The Crucible is a play written by Arthur Miller in 1953. It is set in Salem, Massachusetts in the year 1692, during the infamous Salem witch trials. The play follows the story of a group of young girls who are caught dancing in the woods, and in order to avoid punishment, they accuse other townspeople of witchcraft. The accusations quickly spiral out of control, leading to a frenzy of fear and hysteria in the town. The play explores themes of fear, hysteria, and the dangers of groupthink. It is a powerful commentary on the dangers of blindly following authority and the importance of standing up for what is right, even in the face of great adversity. Mabel Collins' edition of The Crucible includes an introduction and notes to help readers better understand the historical context of the play and its significance.1914.
