There are a couple other definitions of the word Crucible that
Arthur Miller could have used for the book the Crucible. But the definition
that the Arthur Miller used is a severe test or trial. In the book the town of
Salem have a big trial for a lot of people being accused for practicing witchcraft
or accused for being a witch. The people that are being accused are either
innocent or have been framed or accused by Abigail and the group of girls that
are scared of Abigail. The author also use the definition severe test, when
Abigail framed John Proctor for something he did not do and also framed his
wife, so she makes John Proctor choose to live with a dishonored name or die
for what he believes. The severe test was not just for John Proctor it was for
Salem as a whole. The reason why I think that is just because of someone has a
different religion that they think it is not the right religion or that they
worship the devil or something that is similar to those things. If someone was
in a coma the town would try to accuse someone or group of people of being a
witch or accused of practicing witchcraft.
