You can use the material posted in the blog about the witch hunt and the links under the heading Arthur Miller to do the research.
The story in the play The Crucible by Arthur Miller takes place in Salem, Massachussets, in the spring of the year 1692.
Look for information and place the play in its correct historical period.
What was the social, political and economic situation in America around the year 1692?
Write an essay of at least 350 words with a clear introduction and conclusion.
Organise the information about the social, political and economic situation into three paragraphs.
Include how this background situation may have inspired the writer for the main theme in the play. Establish a connection between the witch hunt in Salem and McCarthyism.
