Arthur miller stated that the crucible was an “act of desperation” because a.) he was afraid of becoming one of the accused
b.) he feared unfairness, accusations, and mass hysteria in the world
c.) he wanted to creatively express his political and social thoughts
d.) all of the above

The correct answer should be D.) All of the above

He said that he wanted to create an artistic way of answering to political problems. This was because of the McCarthyism policies that got many people arrested or blacklisted for no reason other than having a political opinion. He was also inspired by the terrors that were seen in Europe by fascists a decade before.

Ithink the answer would be d.
