Arthur Miller’s Moral Views Reflected in The Crucible

Abstract

Arthur Miller is honored as†the American Consciousness†because he has strong social responsibility and hold that playwriting can be an effective way of presenting social problems and perusing countermeasures. His moral views are deeply presented in The Crucible. Through the study of plots and characters of the play, we can experience the deep concern of social problems and moral views of the great playwright from two perspectives: the views on man and self, and the views on man and the society.
