Arthur Miller was one of the most famous authors of his time. He wrote many plays and novels that people still read and enjoy today. One of Arthur Miller's most famous and read works is The Crucible. A history of the Puritan “witch” hunt. The work makes the reader think about the time period that Miller was writing about. Miller connects the Puritan period with the Cold War era and the Red Scare that occurred immediately after World War II. The story shows us the reasons why Miller writes the way he does. McCarthyism was a big problem in America and Miller, through his writings, shows us the struggles of innocent people accused of something they didn't do. Just like the people accused of being communist spies in America during the Cold War era. In the play The Crucible, Miller shows many themes but the hatred of the "emphis" is the main theme and it is justified but the justification of the hatred of people because of their differences in beliefs, practices and customs by the Puritan people and their values ​​and religious beliefs that; therefore, it is justified by the Holy Bible. Arthur Miller let the people in his life and the political climates of the time in which he lived influence his writing in many different ways. Having been married three times, his first wife was a devout Catholic woman named Marry Grace Slattery to whom Miller was married for sixteen years, of whom Miller formed the character Elizabeth Proctor, a strong-willed and upright woman in The Crucible. (Xiaojuan) This shows the genius of Miller and his writing. Miller learned from other people. He was always open to his wife's suggestions, and Venable 2 learned a lot about religion from his first wife (Xiaojuan). I...... middle of the paper...... differences. The “witches” of Salem were not witches at all. They were different women from the others and the Puritan society did not like change. They believed in order and did only what is known from the Bible. The Puritans did not like change and did everything in their power to keep everything as it was. God first of all. (Walker)Venable 5The main theme of The Crucible is hatred of "emphi". This is supported by all the evidence provided, from McCarthyism, from the Cold War era, from the actions taken by the Roman Catholic Church, from the persecution of innocent people believed to be communists in the United States during the Red Scare, from the persecution of innocent homosexual people and the belief that women are not equal citizens in our society. Furthermore, humanists argue that all people should be equal in the eyes of each other and that all people are created equal.
