Depiction of The Salem Witch Trials of 1692 in “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller Essay Sample

I found the essay to be well written. The author makes a strong argument that the events in “The Crucible” are based on the Salem witch trials of 1692, as well as the McCarthy hearings of 1953. The author does a good job of providing evidence to support this argument. I also found the author’s analysis of the characters and their motivations to be insightful.
