In part, he's another metaphor for the entire culture that persecuted the witches. He was friends with the Proctors, never caring that John sometimes plowed on Sundays, but the moment that things turned bad, he immediately turned his back. That attitude is what allowed the witch trials to go on unabated. He *is* the townspeople.

Tagi 65 nailed it...
the link below is of Arthur Miller speaking on the time surrounding the creation of his novel...before,during and after...and tells why he wrote "The Crucible"...
