Miller wrote the play as an allegory of McCarthyism, when the US government blacklisted accused communists.^[1] Miller himself was questioned by the House of Representatives' Committee on Un-American Activities in 1956 and convicted of "contempt of Congress" for refusing to identify others present at meetings he had attended.
