Answer 1

One thing to consider is that Macbeth was written about the time that The Crucible takes place--the Reign of King James I.   Besides commissioning the familiar translation of the Bible, James was very intererested in stamping out witchcraft, and the persecution of alleged witches was very popular in English-speaking regions on both sides of the Atlantic.  Both plays were written several centuries after the events they supposedly depict and reflect the attitudes of the times in which they were written, so we see both Macbeth's association with the witches and the witch-hunts in The Crucible as bad things.

Answer 2
