The Miller's the Crucible (Cliff Notes) FROM THE PUBLISHER
A story of good and evil buffeted by the question of self-identity and morality, this play is considered Miller's most unified and superior play. The play of the witch hunts in Salem in the late 1600s had ramifications in the United States in its parallels to the McCarthy investigations.
