The author is using a type of figurative language called personification. Personification is when you give human characteristics or traits to something that is non human. When the author writes, "<span>the sea licked greedy lips in the shadows." the author is giving the sea human characteristics. The sea does not actually have lips.</span>

What is "the crucible" within the play and how does it bring about change or reveal
Kobotan [32]

Miller's title, The Crucible, is appropriate for the play. A crucible is a container made of a substance that can resist great heat ; a crucible is also defined as a severe test. Within the context of the play the term takes on a new meaning: not only is the crucible a test, but a test designed to bring about change or reveal an individual's true character. The witch trials serve as a metaphorical crucible, which burns away the characters' outer shells to reveal their true intentions and character beneath. Throughout the play, Miller carefully peels away the layers of each character so that the audience not only can identify the character's motivation, but also can reevaluate the character through his or her actions. In other words, the audience observes the character as he or she is tested, and the audience ultimately determines if he or she passes the test.

Note: I apologize if my answer is wrong.
