La Commission des activités antiaméricaines du parlement des Etats-Unis connut son heure de gloire au début des années cinquante lorsque le sénateur Joseph McCarthy en devint le président et pourchassa militants et simples sympathisants communistes notamment dans les rangs de l'intelligentsia (Dashiell Hammett, Bertold Brecht, la fameuse liste noire des " dix de Hollywood "). Interrogé lui-même par cette commission, Arthur Miller s'est inspiré de cette époque de " chasse aux sorcières " pour écrire Les Sorcières de Salem. II y met en scène un autre épisode célèbre de l'histoire américaine : le procès homonyme qui, en 1692, ébranla une petite communauté de la Nouvelle-Angleterre gagnée par une crise d'hystérie puritaine et se solda par la condamnation de nombreuses personnes soupçonnées de pratiques sataniques et par vingt-cinq exécutions. Mise en scène à Paris en 1955, dans une adaptation de Marcel Aymé, la pièce interprétée par le couple Simone Signoret-Yves Montand connut un véritable triomphe. Les Sorcières de Salem illustre de façon magistrale comment peut être facilement franchie - et en tout temps - la frontière entre raison et folie, justice et fanatisme
