Paper Summary:

The paper provides an analysis of Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible" that compares the drama to the 1950's and the times of McCarthyism. The paper discusses the roles of fear, paranoia, ideology and persecution.

From the Paper:

"There are three main parallels between McCarthyism and the events portrayed in Miller's "The Crucible." These are fear, ethnocentric ideology and paranoia. During the House the Un-American Activities Commission much like in the town of Salem during the witch trials, fear, moral superiority, ideology and paranoia created a panic. In the case of McCarthyism the panic was over communism and communists."
