What is the play The Crucible about?

The play "The Crucible" was written by Arthur Miller in 1952 during the Red Scare era, when communism was seen as a threatening influence within America. Miller was blacklisted for not naming others in the movie industry who might have communist ties. He decried the "commie hunts" and the practices of Congress, and the Crucible examines these themes.The play examines the "witch hunts" in colonial Massachusetts, which led to executions in the Salem witch trials. The subplot is that the main character, John Proctor, is unfaithful to his wife, triggering the wife's accusal as a witch by his spurned lover. In the end, Proctor chooses death over loss of honor, by choosing not to testify against others who are accused.The similarities that Miller notes in the play are:- guilt by association- the presumption of guilt rather than innocence- the conflicting agendas of public officials- the hidden motivations of witnesses- the obsession of a society with an unproven, unseen threat- the power of a government used unfairly against individualsSynopsisHis play centers around a husband and wife, John and Elizabeth Proctor, and John's former mistress, Abigail Williams. Mad that she was thrown out of the Proctor house after being their maid, Abigail makes the other young girls in the town do charms with her to kill Elizabeth Proctor. However, when two girls fall ill and their "dancing in the woods" gets out, the girls begin accusing their actions on the devil and other women in the town that they do not like, saying they are witches. Soon the whole town gets involved accusing others they simply do not like and many are sentenced to death.


What was Ophelia's full name?

In the play she is only referred to as Ophelia. One might look at the naming customs in Scandinavia, but the characters in the play do not as a rule have Scandinavian names, except Hamlet himself and his mother (based on the names Amleth and Geruth in the original by Saxo). Claudius, Laertes, Polonius--these are classical names, not Germanic. Shakespeare changed the names from his sources to suit himself, and probably did not give any thought as to whether the characters would conform to English or any other naming convention.
