Id really like to know some other interesting key themes that maybe aren't as obvious in the book "The Crucible". So far I have: hysteria, devil, religion, intolerance, reputation and spirits (evil).. your input would be helpful! Thanks

The play was considered an allegory of McCarthyism and the Communist hysteria of the 1950s.
