The Crucible Arthur Miller TV 1981 Part Two

The Crucible is a 1953 play by American playwright Arthur Miller. It is a dramatized and partially fictionalized story of the Salem witch trials that took place in the Massachusetts Bay Colony during 1692-93. Miller wrote the play as an allegory for McCarthyism, when the United States government persecuted people accused of being communists. Miller was questioned by the House of Representatives' Committee on Un-American Activities in 1956 and convicted of contempt of Congress for refusing to identify others present at meetings he had attended.

    Mass hysteria takes a life of its own .. whether in 1600s, 1950s, or 2020. Reason goes out the door, and herd mentality runs rampant.
