what make it suit all ages and all places
Miller's themes in The Crucible were well thought out universal themes. You have to remember that "universal" themes endure through the ages; they always apply to something or someone and they are acknowledged worldwide.
Miller addresses the following universal themes; reputation, empowerment, and hysteria, and each of these themes are as important today as they were in the 1600's. Reputations affect how an individual is seen, power is still a major force and desire, and mass hysteria accompanies everything from social issues to sporting events.
