Reverend Parris is not a well-liked man in town. Many believe that he is a hypocrite - although he is a minister, he is concerned with appearances and material wealth. Because they do not trust him as a neighbor, people like John Proctor don't want to be ministered by him.
Ann Putnam blames Goody Osburn and Rebecca Nurse both for the death of her babies.
Hale believes that the Devil will only attack the house of a moral person, because it would not make sense to attack the house of a soul he already had. Parris, as a reverend, is a perfect target.
