Arthur Miller had very strong political view for the government. He was a very famous person who dared to question American society and political decisions being made. Before we knew it Arthur Miller went as far as to make a play The Crucible, and publish it in 1953 in New York. This grandiose play was about the witch trials in Salem from 1692 to 1693 and how many innocent people were accused of being witches and convicted. At the time period Miller was writing the play, communism was arising in then United States which led then to the Red Scare.
