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