Arthur Miller was an American playwriter who was the author of "The Crucible." Miller traveled to Salem, Massachusetts to research the witch trials of 1692. These witch trails in Salem were people of the town of Salem believing that witchcraft and black magic was real. They believed that Satan was among them and that the Devil was turning women into witches and having them preform witchcraft throughout the town. These majority of people were Puritans, a religious group that sought to "purify" the Church of England and Roman Catholic practices. Puritans were Calvinistic and Calvinism was essential to a Puritan. Calvinism is the following of theological tradition and forms of Christian practice. Arthur Miller put all of these points in analogy to his current issue. Finally, Miller titled his book "The Crucible" which is personifying a real crucible pot. A crucible is a pot that melts and purifies metal which cause the gunk of the metal to rise to the top of the pot and the worker can take the gunk out. Basically saying, if a person is hot and pressured, their true colors will show.
