Does Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible” effectively demonstrate the concept of what was going on the Red Scare? That is the question I am going to answer in this essay. I believe Arthur Miller draws these parallels perfectly. The Salem witch trials are the same thing as the Red Scare ‚ just in a different time period.

The Church’s role in a Puritan Marriage In the play The Crucible by Arthur Miller‚ the church’s role in a Puritan marriage is very accurately described. Marriage is when a man and a woman come together and form a holy bond under God.

There are them who cannot sing ‚ and them that cannot weep-my wife cannot lie. I have paid much to earn it sir” (Miller‚ 1259). This shows that John wants to grant supporters for his mistakes.
