In Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," Reverend Parris is primarily motivated by a desire to maintain his position and authority in Salem. He fears the loss of his reputation and power in the community, particularly in the face of the witch trials. Parris is also concerned about his own safety and the potential for rebellion against him, which drives him to support the trials and the accusations that arise from them. Ultimately, his self-interest and paranoia overshadow any genuine concern for the community or the truth.
