Crucible5
Arthur Miller's 1953 play The Crucible depicts the Salem Witch Trials of 1692, where the accusations of a group of children led to widespread panic, persecution, and hangings in their small Puritan community. Over 300 years later, the story remains deeply unsettling as it illustrates how "witch hunts" can still occur today through mob-like behavior and the scapegoating of innocent people. Most powerfully, The Crucible shows that societal fears left unchecked can destroy lives and communities, and its themes continue resonating as a warning against the injustices of false accusations.
