From this quote is show that within the Crucible that, like the Scarlet Letter, reputation is everything. When Hester was marked with the letter A, her reputation was broken down and the villagers started their public hatred and disgust for her. In the Crucible, Parris is worried about his reputation because he doesn't want to be hated on losing the trust that he finally gained over the years; He doesn't want to end up isolated from his society.
