Arthur Miller set The Crucible in Salem, where a rising hysteria takes hold. A poppet and a dance in the woods carry Abigail Williams's accusations into Deputy Governor Danforth's court, and John Proctor's refusal to confess sends him to the gallows. Miller wrote the Puritan panic as an allegory for the McCarthy hearings.
