Although it is about the Salem Witch Trials, there are also important underlying themes. It's a dramatic metaphor for McCarthyism (the sneaky kind that won't get you blacklisted!) written at a time when folks could most certainly relate to those persecuted by a paranoid theocracy. The name refers directly to the definition of "crucible": a situation which severely tests and sometimes changes people. I believe the origins of the word are medieval Latin. On that note, no one was burned in the trials. Several were hanged or imprisoned, and one man was crushed to death.
