What is the symbolism of the golden candlesticks, Proctor's signature, and poppets in The Crucible, by Arthur Miller?

In the drama, Rev. Parris wanted golden candlesticks for
the altar, and according to John Proctor, preached about them often. Proctor resented
Parris's rich tastes, considering him to be a greedy and ungodly man. Proctor especially
resented Parris's obsession with the candlesticks because Proctor was a farmer who
worked long and hard to support his family. Proctor's resentment ran so deep that he had
not wanted Parris to baptize his and Elizabeth's youngest child. The golden candlesticks
symbolize Parris's selfish materialism, and they perhaps symbolize the deep rift between
Parris and Proctor.

John Proctor's signature, and his
refusal to give it to the court in a confession, finalizes the central theme in the
play: the courage to maintain one's integrity, even in the face of death. Proctor's
signature symbolizes his identity and his honor. He believes the most valuable
possession he can leave to his children is his own good name. His signature symbolizes
John's sense of self, what he holds dear, and what kind of man he is, in
truth.

The poppets play an important role in the play in
that a poppet becomes Abigail's instrument of vengeance in her attempt to destroy
Elizabeth Proctor. In general, the poppets symbolized the Puritans' condemnation of
entertainment and idleness. They are also associated in the play with the dark arts, the
practice of witchcraft.
