Answer:
In the crucible, secrets <em>Do</em> hold power over people.
Explanation:
When you have a secret, you don't want other people to know. However, when somebody finds out, you will do whatever they want to keep them from telling anyone.
This is present in the play, The Crucible. In order for the characters to keep their reputation they must keep these secrets hidden. However, when somebody finds their secret(s)... their entire reputation can be ruined.
The secret is found and the finder will torture the person just to get what they want.
Thus, Secrets <em>do</em> hold power over people.
