All you have to do is find a dictionary and look up the word then find quotes that relate to it and relate the defination to the theme of the play.

Elise K. has is correct. Miller uses this metaphoric title to represent the changes each character goes through after the witch hunting in comparison to the changes chemicals and elements undergo within the heat of the crucible.

A crucible is small ceramic pot used to melt precious metals in preparation for casting them. The melting process not only renders the metal into a liquid state that can be poured into a mold, it also purifies them, since non-metallic elements will burn off.
Miller probably chose the title because the characters go through a refining process due to the events - some turn out to be pure of heart, while others turn out to be chaff.

i became a theater minor in college and that i can basically even imagine of The Crucible and death of a save clerk. Your question received't get various distinct solutions except you happen upon a Miller fanatic! Of both, I choose death of a save clerk. i have continuously needed to play the portion of Biff on degree.

A crucible has two definitions: a pot to melt metals or a severe trial. The characters in this novel all face challenges to their faith and cosmology.
