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.

Explanation:
In order to rewrite the sentence into an active sentence, we first need to determine the subject. In other words, we need to find out <em>who or what is performing the action.</em>
For example, let's take the sentence “The ball was kicked by the little girl.”
In this sentence, all the ball is doing is sitting there. The girl, however, is performing the action of kicking the ball, which would make her our subject.
Next, we move the subject to the beginning of the sentence and then describe the action and what or who is affected by it. So “The ball was kicked by the little girl” can be rewritten to “The little girl kicked the ball.”
