When millions of citizens have placed their trust in them for running the government, it is very important for them not to deceive the American people. The universal claim is that all presidents lie.

visions of violence in the world, through what happens in the play. A few main violent images brought about by the work is that it is unfair, universal, and overpowering, yet it also ultimately serves as a sense of hope and rebirth. In Verona, the feud between the Capulets and Montagues reigns supreme, and rules seemingly over love, over justice, in an almost unfair manner, as "civil blood makes civil hands unclean".

masterpiece, The Crucible, is a work of art inspired by actual events as a response to political and moral issues. Set in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692, The Crucible proves to have its roots in events of the 1950’s and 1960’s, such as the activities of the House Un-American Committee and the “Red Scare.” Though the play provides an accurate account of the Salem witch trials, its real achievement lies in the many important issues of Miller’s time that it dealswith.

contemporary and universal implications lends itself quite well to – in fact, almost necessitates – deeply interested study.

As such, I begin with a short overview of the Oresteia and the relevant history that immediately precedes it. The house of Atreus is
