Definition: Crucible- a severe test or trial
The title of Arthur Miller's play, The Crucible is very appropriate. The play is mainly about a horrid trial that occurs which has sever consequences, thus crucible is an acceptable title as it is defined as a sever test or trial. The community of Salem was put through a severe trial at the time of the which trials, it was a test of their faithfullness to god and the court; Whereby they had the choice to lie or be hanged. The characters in the play also go through personal tests, for example John Proctor must test his values as he determines whether it is better to lie or to recieve the punishment for his actions. The definition of the crucible is extremely relevent to the play and is an appropriate title.
