In Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," Reverend Parris tries to get the accused to confess to witchcraft primarily to save his own reputation and position in Salem. He fears that if innocent people are hanged, it will lead to public backlash against him and undermine his authority as a minister. By encouraging confessions, he aims to preserve the court's legitimacy and maintain order in the community, even at the cost of truth and justice.
