Viewpoints towards The Crucible

Although The Crucible was written over 50 years ago it still shows relevant truth behind todays society. We still, in America, have "witch hunts", of course, though, not actual witch hunts but ones concering other important matters going on throughout the world today. Terroism, is a very big issue within America. We do hunt down terroists and that relates sort of to The Crucible, making accusations towards people based upon things that can prove a negative side. Communisim in the past was also an issue that relates to The Crucible. During the Red Scare many people were falsely accused of being a communist based upon facts that could not be proven absolutely real. So yes, I do think that The Crucible is relevant to our 21st century.
