In this drama, a crucible would represent the constant building action leading to the climax of the pot. Similar to the contents of a crucible, the characters seem to be constantly enduring severe trials; in this case, the witching trials. The crucible would, in my opinion, symbolize the town itself and its residents the contents. The symbolism of this suggests a theme of the townspeople going through the witching trials and coming out with a "refined" lesson. The unnecessary accusations and trials will teach a hard lesson to the people who live within the town and influence their future.

Hope this can help you out some!!

Which word from the sentence gives it an informal tone? Let’s all jump into this mess together and see if we can shovel our way
taurus [48]
Informal words are words that are used commonly, like the words you use when you talk to your best friends.  The words JUMP, MESS, and SHOVEL are all give an informal tone. Keep in mind that tone is the way the author expresses his or her feelings within the text. Remember that formal words are the words that are used to say a word more formal than the word used presently. Example: ERUDITE is a formal word for wise, CONCUR is the formal word for agree, ESOTERIC for secret and the last that I can give is FRIEND for chum<span>.</span>
