Red+Scare+and+Arthur+Miller

The Red Scare
 * In the crucible and in the red scare people were being persecuted and executed for things that they did not do.
 * During the red scare society was blaming there problems on communists just like how puritan society blamed their problems on the witches
 * In both the crucible and the red scare it showed that everyone was in investigated and being looked at
 * In both it the prosecutes (judges and society) were very much one sided and were looked at if they were guilty until proven innocent.
 * Arthur Miller, the author of the crucible meant this at first to compare this to the red scare because it showed how both of these were the same
 * This idea is called McCarthyism and Miller said that this could happen anywhere and any place.
