The Crucible is not an allegory, although many mistake it to be for obvious reasons. The Crucible was written, in part, because Arthur Miller (the playwright) was angered at his friend during The Red Scare. His friend, Kahn, reported a list of government names who were taking inside steps towards communism. Miller, upset at his good friends false accusations, wrote The Crucible shortly after.However, the Crucible's characters are almost historically accurate, three dimensional characters, two aspects rarely found in allegory. Crucible is often read to learn about the destructive nature of man and what reputation and greed can do to and/or for a person.
So you dont burn your self
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.
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.
They want revenge
The Salem Witch Trials are a very important part of US history. People were accused of witchcraft for many reasons, living alone, doing things that seemed odd to the town, and for sport. Sometimes people called others witches because they had a problem with them.

They want revenge
None, for two reasons. First, none of the executed were actually witches by any definition. Second, in Puritan New England, witchcraft was a capital crime, thus the punishment for witchcraft was hanging.
