Throughout this module, you have read Arthur Miller's The Crucible and explored the elements of drama. While examining the dramatic structure of The Crucible, you immersed yourself in the Puritan society of Salem, Massachusetts. However, you also learned how modern parallels can be made from drama and history. The parallels that Miller draws between the Red Scare of the 1950s and the Salem Witch Trials in his play serve as effective political commentary on the problems of his time. After learning about the importance of recurring themes in literary works, you took a deeper look into those plays and movies you enjoy so much to find the hidden truths buried within each and every one.
