Miller Born to Jewish immigrants in Manhattan in 1915 Family was well off until the Great Depression Miller was highly influenced by the Depression as well as WWII

Miller Went to the University of Michigan, graduated in 1938 During his college years, he began working on several plays His first few plays were not very successful

Miller In 1949 his play Death of a Salesman was produced It was well-received and eventually made him a millionaire He became very popular and even married Marilyn Monroe in 1956

Miller Continued to write plays and do other notable work throughout the rest of his life He won many awards and is considered to be one of the best American playwrights He died in 2005

The Crucible The Crucible debuted in 1953 It is set during the Salem witch trials of the 1690’s It is an example of historical literature

The Crucible Historical literature has the following: real individuals from history or characters based on real people a plot that accurately portrays events in history an attempt to reveal some truth about that time period

The Crucible Miller wrote The Crucible as an allegory for McCarthyism An allegory is when an entire text is a symbol for something else I.e., Miller used the events in Salem as a way to point out the injustices of Sen. McCarthy and his followers

The Crucible McCarthyism refers to the period in American history when people were falsely accused of being Communists (1950s) Many people lost their jobs, their families, and their reputations

The Crucible Miller was one of the many artists and Hollywood celebrities accused He was never found guilty, but he did get in trouble for not naming other Communists

The Crucible The Crucible is not a perfect dramatization of what happened in Salem Miller based his characters on real people, but he made some changes, for example: Changed the age of Abigail Took the several judges and combined them into two characters Miller did this for dramatic effect

The Crucible The sentences given to the characters in the play, though, are the sentences given to the real-life people
