What does the word Howl mean when Parris says They Will Howl Me Out Of Salem?

It is important to remember a few details about this
quote. One, at what point of the play does he say this ( the context of the quote)? The
other, why does playwright Arthur Miller choose the word "howl" to characterize Parris
in this line?

one:

The quote
is referring to Parris' response to Thomas' comment of the possibility of  being accused
of having witchcraft in his house. Parris lives in constant fear of his community.  He
does not trust his
parish.

Two:

Remember that in
plays the characters are developed through the words they speak. They are carefully
chosen by the playwright for that reason.

So, let's look at
the word howl. The definiton of "howling" is an sound/action of a group of wild dogs
often heard at night after a successful hunt. The connotation ( shade of emotional
meaning) is more powerful when the word spoken gives the audience perspectives that a
character is feeling.

Parris is a fearful character who is
constantly sucked in by the antics and hysteria of others. Parris' use of "howl"
illustrates his attitude toward the "pack of wild dogs" that is his community. The use
of  language is Miller's way of illustrating Parris as a character and reveals how
Parris feels about the other members of his community.

If
Parris would have said "they will run me out of town" it would not have the same
imagery.  "Howl" is a  derogatory (  put down) in reference to members of his community.
Parris obviously does not respect the people he serves: he thinks of them as wild dogs
that will hunt him down if given a reason.
