Have a little read: ... What is the significance of the title: The crucible The dictionary describes the word crucible as a container in which metals or other substances may be melted or subjected to very high temperatures, usually done in order to purify the metal.

The main example of purification though is seen in John Proctor, starting as an unholy man, with lechery in his past and finishing by gaining final forgiveness from his wife.
