Arthur Miller wrote The Crucible to criticize Senator Joseph McCarthy and his McCarthyism. This was sparked after Miller heard Elia Kazan's controversial testimony in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee regarding fellow arts workers involved in left-wing movements. Kazan is a film director who is also a friend of Miller. After hearing this testimony, Miller wrote The Crucible.
In this playwright, Miller wants to highlight what happens when the US government tries to suppress communism and radical left-wing activities in America. This results in mass culture, intolerance, political hysteria, and fear. With this, Miller also wants to convey how dangerous the mentality of the masses and uncontrolled political authority are.
