Although the plot of the drama is based on the witch-craft trials of early New England, critics have pointed ft out that it is a mistake to see "The Crucible" as merely an interesting expose of a par ticularly sorry and remote part of American history; that pressures to conform are as great today in many ways as they were in 1692, and the decision to resist as hard to make.

The first occurs when his wife Elizabeth is accused of witchcraft by the young girl Abigail, who-, hopes thus to clear the way for her to re place Elizabeth as John's wife. His decision is to go before the court and accuse Abigail of fraud, even though it means he must expose his own trans gressions. It is a hard choice for a proud man to make, but his love for his wife will not permit him to see her die for his error. The second and more diffi cult decision is made after his attempt to expose the fraud fails and he himself has been imprisoned for being a wilch. The pressures of both church and state descend upon him. Both forces try to get him to confess to witchcraft so that he may be set free and the rumblings of doubt in the village may be quieted. Because he sees himself as a great sinner, he feels it is a fraud to go to the gallows like a "saint" and he decides to confess. After his confession to witchcraft is written and he his signed it, he realizes that this lie is a sorry compro mise. The public display of this document would mean the ruin of the only thing he has left, his name as an up right man would be destroyed. tie tears the confession to shreds and is led to the gal lows. In response to pleas that she slop him, Elizabeth says, "He have his goodness now. God forbid I should take it from him." Arthur Miller has written a number of liioughl-provok-ing plays.
