The+Crucible

While reading the play, **//The Crucible//** by **Arthur Miller** we will focus on the idea of mass hysteria in our culture throughout history. We will also analyze Miller's use of characters, plot, and theme to get his point across about the **McCarthy Trials.**

We will begin the play by watching clips of the Salem Witch Trials and the McCarthy Trials. media type="youtube" key="F2BN9g3P9f8" height="211" width="282"media type="youtube" key="v4N46jLdhCU" height="208" width="335"
