Theater, Bernardo Santareno, Arthur MillerAbstract
This article analyzes two dramaturgical works, The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, and The Jew, by Bernardo Santareno, and relationships that both have with historical periods in their countries, respectively the Witch Hunt sponsored by the Protestant Church in the United States and the Catholic Inquisition in Portugal in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. They are two critical works of the past which can be related to contemporary moments of its production, thus indirectly inserting a critique of American McCarthyism and Portuguese Salazar dictatorship in the 20th-century .
