The Crucible Nowaday

If I told you that back in the 1600`s people (especially women) would get accused of witches by girls and they would get killed, would you believe me? Well, you should, because is what happened in the Salem Witch Trails in colonial Massachusetts between February 1692 and May 1693. However you might think, well back then women didn`t even had much rights, but, what if I tell you, back that in 1950 to 1956, there happened a very similar events that will be called the McCarthy Trials, where even Mr. Charlie Chaplin got accused. We have known injustices since all people around the world and trough history had to pay to live in a world full of sins because of Adan and Eva. However, Arthur Miller wrote The Crucible in 1953, which is a Juvenelian satire to criticize the McCarthy trials happening then, though he wrote about the Salem Witch Trials, basically making an analogy. But, do you know what is more interesting of all of this? That still today, in the 21th century, in 2015, people still read this novel. I think we have the same question, why? Well, here is my hypothesis: Satire is a very commonly used manner to criticize and correct society, maybe Miller isn`t here to see corruption in every part of the world, or to see the homicides of people who are just giving their opinion and doing their job (Je Suis Charlie) however he somehow explains a historical problem: corruption. So, people will read this today because of many things: one, they like to read; two, to compare and contrast back then and now events; three, get to know more about this historical events; four, to delight themselves with such an amazing novel and five, because they have to because of their English class. I will say that in my experience, I would definitely say is a mix of everything, ones more than others, but let’s face it, Miller was a genius.
