1. Miller attempted to make life real again through his play by portraying real life issues. Trust is a major one. Not everyone was trusted in the Crucible, with evidence through all the people that were accused of witchcraft. One would accuse the neighbor they grew up with if there was even a sense of suspicion, all because of the ideas that were drilled into ones head. Miller also showed real life problems of guilt, pride, relationships, and, in a sense, love.
2. They didn't acknowledge the truth. Paul's testimony was so remarkable because he made great points that most wouldn't and made people think about a lot.
3. The theme would be epiphany's, or realizations and recognition. This theme relates because it's talked about how certain aspects (McCarthyism) are brought to life, so therefore; recognition, and realization.
4. The meaning of that saying, I think, is that the Devil is very seductive and people can get sucked into his works and lose their beliefs without even realizing it. When they do realize it, it's too late. The vital think to remember is the distinguished line between right and wrong, and to remember your morals and ethics.
