Explanation and Analysis:

Miller’s writing style in The Crucible is fast-paced, which mirrors the urgency and hysteria of the Salem witch trials. This rapid tempo creates a sense of immediate danger for everyone involved. Once the fuse of paranoia is lit, events whip by almost too quickly to follow, compelling the audience to feel the intense pressure Proctor and his neighbors are under.
