The inhabitants of Salem lived in a restrictive society. Miller creates an atmosphere and mood within the play reminiscent of the historical period and of Puritan culture. By the end of 1692, the Salem court had convicted and executed nineteen men and women. A self-perpetuating cycle of distrust, accusation, arrest, and conviction emerged. As the number of arrests increased, so did the distrust within the Salem community. This desperate and perhaps childish finger-pointing resulted in mass paranoia and an atmosphere of fear in which everyone was a potential witch. Ironically, the girls avoided punishment by accusing others of the very things of which they were guilty. Rather than suffer severe and inevitable punishment for their actions, the girls accused other inhabitants of Salem of practicing witchcraft. In particular he focuses on the discovery of several young girls and a slave playing in the woods, conjuring - or attempting to conjure - spirits from the dead. Miller bases the play on the historical account of the Salem witch trials. Inspired by the McCarthy hearings of the 1950s, Arthur Miller's play, The Crucible, focuses on the inconsistencies of the Salem witch trials and the extreme behavior that can result from dark desires and hidden agendas.
