Author used their literacy work to get a message across to the people about the story "The Crucible". The author miller use events and characters to show his message of McCarthyism. McCarthyism was a time were Joe McCarthy accused Americans of being communist and in the crucible people were accused of being witches. It is known that miller wrote this story as a reaction to a tragic time in history which they showed injustice and power which both situation people were and found guilty without any evidence. The actions of characters reveals miller message of McCarthyism because he states similar things that happen during the trial of McCarthyism which was just like the trial held in the crucible by the deputy governor. Bearing to send her away to be hang with no proven facts that she was a witch and lying to the deputy and being let off shows the author message of McCarthyism on this being injustice. In the text it stated that Abagail and Betty were accusing multiple people of witchcraft.in the text it states "he sentenced her. He must but not Sarah good. For Sarah good confessed y'see". Stated in lines two-hundred and nineteen thru two-hundred and twenty seven. The action which the girls accused many people were most effective because it end up being nineteen people being hanged. While Sarah good had confessed, goody Osborn had not confessed and was still was put in jail to be hanged. Also you couldn't tell who was lying or telling the truth. Also in lines 1105 thru 1114 it states "(pointing a t proctor ). You're the devil's man! (He stopped in his tracks)". This shows that after the girls making Mary warren to be the witch she blame it on proctor. Mary warren, Abagail, and Bett y actions show injustice because the deputy couldn't tell if they were lying or telling the truth and he still didn't have any evidence and some people have the power to make people form a lie of injustice to the wrong people being the victims. Furthermore, the deputy governor has the power and so does Abagail who the one is preventing someone to tell the truth on her to being a witch. In line 1070 thru 1100 it states "do you confess this power? (He is an inch from her face.) Speak". This states that Abigail's new founded power are used to make Mary warren to be the witch and force her not to tell on her and what they did in the forest. Also in act three it states "and folks are brought before them, and if they scream and howl and fall- the person clapped in the jail for bewitching' them". This shows if you scream and make a whole bunch of noise the deputy will let you go free. This is show the power of the deputy is used to condemned people. To conclude, McCarthyism is the message Miller was trying to reveal in the story to show that there were injustices and overused of power of the powerful leaders. Also it was unfair because you couldn't have done anything and if you were accused, you were force to go on trial with no evidence. It not your fault can't nothing be done but lie to get out of being hang would you lie knowing that you weren't involved or apart of witchcraft?
