He is a paranoid figure in the play. His thoughts revolved strongly around his reputation, wealth, and his job. In the beginning, his predominant reason for being worried about Betty Parris was that if word got out about him, a healthily religious reverend, having a daughter who was overtaken by witchcraft, the rest of the town would likely not trust him as much to protect them from the evils of witchcraft anymore. That would certainly hurt his reputation within the town, as well as outside the town, should word have gotten around.
Personally, id Wikipedia the guy just to make sure what i wrote is completely right. the only part that i have slight concerns on the validity of is in the first sentence with mentioning his wealth as a main concern. I put it in there because Mr. Proctor mentions how all Parris would ever seem to care about was golden holsters for the candles on the podium of the church where he would speak to the town in religious sessions and stuff.
It is necessary to cover the crucible when it is being heated for two basic reasons: primarily, it maintains a higher temperature inside the crucible. Without the lid, the heat simply escapes. Secondly, it keeps the material inside the crucible from splashing out.
When a crucible has been fired it is incredibly hot so the two most sensible reasons for using crucible tongs is firstly to prevent the users' hands from being burnt and secondly to prevent the bench in the laboratory from becoming damaged or burnt.
There's actually six people who were accused, and those were Mercy Lewis, Ruth Putnam, Mary Warren, Abigail Williams, the servant, and the ministers daughter, Betty Parris. Youre welcome :)

His Being Hanged
Parris is a character in the book, The Crucible. He is worried about evidence being found in his house because he doesn't want to lose his good standing as a minister.

The community of Salem will use it against him and claim that witchcraft is present in his own household. Therefore, he is putting his job, reputation and possibly other material benefits (such as his house) he has because of being Minister at risk. In The Crucible, it is evident that Parris's motive is driven by his desire for material things (golden candlesticks, requesting title deeds for his house). Parris aims to protect these benefits.
Two examples of situational irony in Act 1 of "The Crucible" are when Reverend Parris, who should be a figure of moral authority, is shown to be more concerned about his reputation than the well-being of his daughter, and when Abigail, who accuses others of witchcraft, is revealed to have been involved in supernatural activities herself.

Too often, young women are emotionally battered into being insecure in general, because of their bodies, their hair, their clothing -- and being insecure is dangerous for anyone.
One example of personification in The Crucible is in Act 1 when Reverend Parris says that his "ministry's at stake." This gives human qualities to the abstract concept of his ministry being in danger. Another example is in Act 3 when John Proctor is told to "confess" and he replies, "Is there any ship to take me?" This implies that confession is a tangible object that can physically transport him.
insecurity is the result of being guilt to self, 2)lack of confidence in day to day activities,3)ignorence4)not following righteous path

Tituba was the person that was the slave of the Parris family. She lived in Salem, Massachusetts and was accused of witchcraft.
