In Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," Reverend Parris tells Susanna to speak nothing of unnatural causes because he fears the implications of witchcraft and any suggestion that the girls' illness is linked to supernatural forces could lead to panic and suspicion in Salem. He wants to maintain control over the narrative and protect his own reputation, as the idea of witchcraft threatens not only the community but also his position as a minister. By keeping the focus away from the supernatural, he hopes to prevent a crisis that could jeopardize his authority and the stability of the town.
