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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Original Fake News
    Reviewed in India on 23 September 2023
    Verified Purchase
    The best books remain relevant generation after generation because the core of human nature does not change. And The Crucible is one of the best.

    Fake news, especially on social media, is a trending topic. How lies disguised with half truths succeed in changing the opinions people hold. The Crucible is about one set of lies that led to mass hangings in Salem in the 17th century. The obvious parallel was the McCarthyism of the 1950s in America, but if you read between the lines you can see similar forces distorting our perceptions of reality today.

    If you have not read the book, order it at once. Even if have read the book earlier, it is always worth a second read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Crucible – A Classic That Still Hits Hard
    Reviewed in the United States on 3 April 2025
    Verified Purchase
    A timeless and powerful play. Arthur Miller’s "The Crucible" explores paranoia, power, and morality in a way that feels just as relevant today. The writing is gripping and emotionally charged.
    ✔ Tip: Read it once, then watch a stage or film version—it deepens the experience.

    A modern classic of Western theatre. Incredibly relevant for today's world, with its many witch hunts. A profound analysis of the evil minds of individuals in search of their personal selfish goals.
