At the end of Act 2 in "The Crucible," John Proctor uses the metaphor of "a needle" to describe how the court's obsession with accusations is similar to a needle that pierces and harms. This metaphor highlights the painful consequences of the witch trials, suggesting that the court's actions are not only destructive but also invasive, much like a needle that causes physical injury. Proctor's use of this imagery underscores the theme of suffering and the personal toll that the hysteria has on individuals and their relationships.
