Reputations‚ to some they mean the world‚ and to others they don’t matter at all. To me reputations are not that big of a deal they are just what others see and sometimes not based on who you really are. In The Crucible it seems that everyone is worried about their reputation and not too worried about the truth. Having a good name doesn’t mean a thing if you hurt others by not telling the truth.

Preserving one’s reputation is a prevalent theme in The Crucible. I don’t think that is more important than telling the truth. In my opinion being honest about something makes you look much better than lying about silly things just to have a good name.
