Hon na čarodějnice v Salemu (1692 - 1693) a Rudá panika (1947 - 1957) byly produkty masové hysterie. Zatímco prvotní hon byl výsledkem náboženské politiky, rodinných intrik, a hysterických dětí, Rudá panika vzešla ze sociálních a politických strachů způsobených možným vzestupem komunismu, anarchismu anebo jiných levicových ideologií. Arthur Miller tvrdil, že jeho hra Čarodějky ze Salemu (1953) je připomínkou minulosti, honu na čarodějnice v Salemu, a poukázal na podobnosti s Rudou panikou, která vládla v době publikace jeho hry. Tato bakalářská práce zkoumá podobnosti mezi těmito dvěma hony a způsob, jakým Miller reflektuje ve své hře na minulost a opakující se přítomnost.

The Salem witch trials (1692 - 1693) and the Red Scare (1947 - 1957) were products of mass hysteria. While the first witch hunt came as a result of a combination of church politics, family feuds, and hysterical children, the Red Scare emerged in response to social and political fears of the potential rise of communism, anarchism, or other leftist ideologies. Arthur Miller claimed that his play The Crucible (1953) is a reminder of what happened in the past, the Salem trials, and how similar it is to the Red Scare happening during the time of the publication of the play. This thesis explores the connections between the two witch hunts and the way how Miller combines them in reflecting both on the past as well as on the repeating present.
