Question

Once someone mars, or hurts, your reputation, is it hard to rebuild? Use evidence from The Crucible to support

your response. Write 2-4 complete sentences.

Answer 1

Yes, in the context of 'The Crucible', it is hard to rebuild one's reputation once someone mars or hurts it.

Step-by-step explanation:

• In the novel "The Crucible" , the townsfolk were all afraid of their reputation being tainted by someone. This was because the society construed any wrongdoings as an act of greatest shame.

• The people tried their best to get away from trouble for the fear of tarnishing their reputation. This can be seen in the way the protagonist of the novel false testified against Abigail who was accused of witchcraft.
