The preservation of reputation is the major theme in The Crucible. Arthur Miller writes The Crucible in a way that compares aspects of puritan society to modern life and makes the story relatable. Pointing the finger and shifting the blame is human nature and dates back to Adam and Eve. Everybody has witnessed blame and finger pointing in their lives which is why this story is so relatable.
