Top The Crucible Flashcards

The Crucible, the epic story of the Salem Witch Trials, was written by Arthur Miller in 1953. The story is set in Salem during the late 1600’s when rumors begin flying about witchcraft. Several people in the town accuse others of being witches, all while the level-headed John Proctor attempts to stay out of it, but is eventually pulled in to save his family.

Did you know that The Crucible was actually Arthur Miller’s satire on people being accused of Communism and McCarthyism? While originally banned by critics, the Crucible has gone on to become an important piece of American drama. The history and depth of the Crucible make it a great candidate for our awesome flashcards – check them out now!
