Arthur Miller's The Crucible chronicles the Salem witch trials and the extreme behavior that can result from dark desires and hidden agendas. Young girls and a slave, Tituba, are caught playacting at casting spells. To avoid punishment, they falsely accuse neighbors of witchcraft. Fueled by fears, jealousy, secrets, lies, and greed, residents turn on each other — resulting in mass paranoia and death. Arthur Miller's play was inspired by the McCarthy hearings of the 1950s.

Two separate review modes let you customize your study experience.

· Prescriptive “Cram Plan” orders the content of the app to give you exactly what you need to know in the time that you have.
