In Act 3 of "The Crucible," Reverend Parris is deeply concerned about his reputation and position in Salem. He fears that the court's proceedings and the accusations of witchcraft are undermining his authority and may lead to his downfall. Parris is also anxious about the growing dissent among the townspeople and the possibility of rebellion, which heightens his paranoia and desperation to maintain control. His self-serving nature drives his reactions, making him increasingly frantic throughout the act.
In Act IV, Parris tries to prevent the rebellion from the townsfolk who are turning against him due to the chaos caused by the witch trials. He fears for his safety and authority as the community starts to doubt the validity of the trials. Parris also works to prevent the execution of the remaining prisoners, including Rebecca Nurse and John Proctor.
At the beginning of Act I of "The Crucible," Tituba, the enslaved woman of Reverend Parris, is on the stand. She is accused of witchcraft and is pressured to confess to her supposed involvement in witchcraft and to name other supposed witches in the community. The atmosphere is charged with fear and hysteria, as the townspeople are eager to scapegoat others to protect themselves.
