We learn a lot about the Reverend Parris in The Crucible, both through the play itself and through Arthur Miller's description of him. He is an unpleasant man who is always ready to pick a fight. Miller describes him this way:

At the time of these events Parris was in his middle forties. In history he cut a villainous path, and there is very little good to be said for him. He believed he was being persecuted wherever he went, despite his best efforts to win people and God to his side. In meeting, he felt insulted if someone rose to shut the door without first asking his permission.

He is a minister, but he does not think of his congregation as a shepherd thinks of his flock. In fact, he sees them as his enemies. More than one he refers to them as a "faction" and a "party" that is constantly out to get him.

We also know that Parris does not particularly like children, yet he is raising two of them, his daughter, Betty, and his niece, Abigail. He is not a kind or compassionate man or father.

The Miller's physical stature fits his story, which is uncouth and, for many, obscene. He is a heavyset man, "a stout Carl (fellow) full big" of muscle and bone, and he is always the winner at wrestling. He is a fearful sight and vulgar. Most noticeable is a large wart with hairs growing out as long and as red as a thistle at the tip of his nose. If most of the pilgrims are going to Canterbury for religious reasons, the Miller is probably going to benefit from the curative powers which were heralded. He is an awesome fellow, and, like the Summoner, a person one would not want to meet in the dark. His tale is one of the best constructed and the best comic situations of the all the tales. As evidenced in his tale, the Miller also has an obvious grudge against carpenters and perhaps towards the Reeve himself, who was once a member of a carpenter's guild.


hope it helps you.
