Question

How was Miller able to convey his point of view about the political atmosphere of his time in The Crucible?
by comparing Joseph McCarthy to a witch
by creating mass hysteria to avoid punishment for his controversial views
O by creating a parallel between the accused witches and the accused communists
O by writing about women who were punished for crimes their husbands committed

Answer 1

Answer:

C. by creating a parallel between the accused witches and the accused communists.

Explanation:

The Crucible is one of the masterpieces written by Arthur Miller. The play not only reflects the incidents of the Salem witch trials but also the trials under John McCarthy. When Miller wrote this play, America was going through its modern-day witch trials, in which American citizens were put on trial for their involvement in Communism.

Therefore, Miller was able to convey his point of view about McCarthyism by creating a parallel between accused witches and accused communists.

Thus, option C is correct.
