How does The Crucible reflect Transcendentalist ideas?

I had to pare down the question a bit.  I think that
Miller’s work does possess some direct Transcendentalist ideas.  The most dominant of
which is the idea that conformist and traditional social or religious orders might not
possess the “right path.”  Even before his railing against Abigail, Proctor confesses to
Hale that he and Abigail really do not trust Parris and his leadership of the formal
institution of the church. Certainly this is reminiscent of the Transcendentalist call
for individuals to find their own sense of spiritual identity away from that which is
established or accepted as “truth.”  Locating the seat of all awareness sin the
subjectivity, a Transcendentalist would accept Proctor’s stand against Parris and the
formal church. From this point, Proctor defines himself against social orders and social
norms.  When Elizabeth is arrested, Proctor declares that “vengeance is walking in
Salem,” a direct call to say that Salem society is wrong and that conformity to such a
notion is inherently bad.  It is in this belief that Proctor calls Hale a “broken
minister,” implying that one cannot be a part of something that is inherently wrong. 
This reflects the Transcendentalist idea of “knowing thyself” and breaking away from a
conformist setting that one knows is wrong.  In this idea of “know thyself,” Proctor’s
defense of his “name” is highly Transcendentalist.  Proctor rejects all ideas of social
good and what is the “accepted” path to take in demanding that the defense of his name
is the most important factor in his decision making calculations.  This is reminiscent
of how Transcendentalist thinkers like Thoreau and Emerson demanded that individuals
recognize their own sense of dignity and stand as voices of dissent when the situation
called for it.  Again, in this action, Proctor locates his sense of power in the
subjective, which is highly Transcendentalist.
