Arthur Miller's classic parable of mass hysteria draws a chilling parallel between the Salem witch-hunt of 1692 - one of the strangest and most awful chapters in human history - and the McCarthyism which gripped America in the 1950s. The story of how the small community of Salem is stirred into madness by superstition, paranoia and malice, culminating in a violent climax, is a savage attack on the evils of mindless persecution and the terrifying power of false accusations.

 Classic of American Theatre

| | See all filmfan13's reviews (4)

The Crucible is of course not a children's book, but a play. Moreover it's a classic by Arthur Miller, probably the most important American playwright of the 20th century. He wrote The Crucible as a kind of allegory for the mass hysteria which ruled America during the McCarty years when they saw communists everywhere and people were asked to spy on their neighbours and colleagues.
