Use evidence from the play to show how Arthur Miller conveys one of the following themes:

1.         Fear and suspicion are infectious and can produce a mass hysteria that destroys public order and rationality.

2.         It is more noble to die with integrity than to live with compromised principles that harm others.

3.         The ideas of witchcraft and “the devil’s work” in The Crucible are extended metaphors for Communism. (You may need to do a little background research for this one – check out the notes in the textbook.)
