What significances has the title "The crucible" consist of?
Answers:
Famous play by Norman Miller
Site of snooker world championships
Device used in making steel.
I think the title is significant because a crucible is a thing things get crushed in. The "witches" in Salem got crushed sometimes physically and definitely emotionally by being charged as witches.
A crucible was what the alchemists used when attempting to transmute base metal into gold. Although it is set around the famous witch trials at Salam I believe that this analogy was what Arthur Miller had in mind in his play of the same name.
