Arthur Miller has argued for years about the historical truth surrounding The Crucible‚ and defined its trans-historical subject as a social process that includes the Salem witchcraft trials and the anti-Communist investigations of the fifties. Though The Crucible is unrelenting in its opposition to the authoritarian systems represented by Puritanism and McCarthyism‚ its use of historical material and the position on moral tyranny‚ which it projects‚ seems far more complex than criticism on the
