Discuss The Meaning Of The Crucible By Abigail Williams
Concerning the title, Miller's subtlety as a writer is demonstrated in choosing The Crucible for his play. The crucible is a tool for purification, that only happens under the intense heat of the crucible, so he clearly meant that title as a metaphor to imply the adversities that his Salem community must go through, and thus, some are refined, and some prove their true metal which is not very high ( Dukore 70).
Miller successfully applies the title to his characters. Abigail Williams is a clear manifestation of the crucible. When she undergoes her own trail, being known with "an endless capacity of dissembling" (I i 9). When reverend Hale increases the pressure on her she does not falter to accuse Tituba, the slave of witchcraft and dealing
