In Act 4 of "The Crucible," several significant developments occur in Salem:

  1. Executions and Imprisonments: Many townspeople have been executed or imprisoned as a result of the witch trials. This has created a climate of fear and desperation.

  2. Loss of Faith in Authority: People have turned against Reverend Parris, who is seen as more concerned about his own reputation and safety than the truth or the well-being of the community.
