Who Is John Proctor A Victim Of Theocracy In The Crucible

John proctor tells the truth that Abigail thinks to dance with him on Elizabeth’s grave. Proctor says,

But then when William tries to bring back the truth, proctor hit him with the line “Aye, but we did not.” He will do anything to keep his problems undercover. Throughout the play things get worse and worse, finally proctor realizes that the only thing he can do is to

Hale shows up at the Proctor's house of his own accord. Without the court's knowledge, Hale tries to get an idea of who the Proctors are for himself This independent action shows the beginnings of his doubt towards the validity of the courts conclusions. After Hale talks to the proctors, Reverend Hale develops his own opinion about them (that they are good people) he starts to worry for their safety and tells john and elizabeth proctor “God keep you both; let the third child be quickly baptized, and go you without fail each Sunday in to Sabbath prayer; and keep a solemn, quiet way among you.” (II.277-292) Reverend Hale urging Elizabeth and John Proctor to adhere to the external rituals of religion for their own safety shows that he hopes to prevent an inevitable outcome: an accusation of witchcraft because he starts to trust in the good of the people.

Why point a finger at someone, when four are pointing right back at you; history continues to repeat itself over and over again. The Salem Witch Trials were a time when Puritans turned on their own kind, accusing them of witchcraft. This continuous accusation turned the Puritan’s well-being upside down. Over hundred years ago, the Red Scare occurred and people with higher states were getting accused of being named Communist. These allegations have been just as ruinous as being called a witch throughout the 1800’s.

It is mistaken law that leads you to sacrifice. Life, woman, life is God 's most precious gift; no principle, however glorious, may justify the taking of it” (Act 4, 132). In fact, Hale doesn’t suggest Elizabeth to use religion to get Proctor to confess, but rather just a simple word of telling him to survive. In conclusion, Reverend Hale finds that going against the court is obligation that is needed to be done because no one has done that and the society needs rebellion

In the Crucible, many of the characters go through changes because of the intensity of the situation. But there is only one character that I think changed the most, and that is John Proctor who is the protagonist of the novel The Crucible by Arthur Miller. I think that John Procotor changes the most in the Crucible because he is in every act and mostly in every scene, and throughtout  the play I see more drama (Dynamic Character) in him than any other character in the Crucible and I will go through and tell you how John Proctor changes in the Crucible.     In the beginning of the play (Acts 1 and 2), we focus on John Proctor and we know that he is a good puritan citizen, a hard-working farmer and who is a husband and father.

The Crucible Essay In the book “The crucible” by Arthur Miller, John hale changed throughout Act 1 to Act 4. He believed that witchcraft was true but towards the end he started to notice that proctor is telling the truth about him not having nothing to do witchcraft. Hale wanted to find and prosecute witches. He wanted to convict anyone who has to do with the devil.

“Goody Proctor, your husband is marked to hang this morning.” (Hale 201). Her husband would rather be hanged than to confess and keep his life. The people’s reputation in the village is the most important thing to

The Crucible Inside every piece of poetry or drama, there was always a beginning, middle, along with an end at least according to Aristotle. The 3 divisions are also called the Three-Act Structure which was developed by Aristotle, and was also altered by Aelius Conatus, a Roman, who proceeded to call the beginning protasis, the middle epitasis, and the end catastrophe. The Three-Act Structure has gained more reputation in recent years through cinema blockbusters, as well as hit TV shows. The Five-Act Structure is the Three-Act Structure but drawn out.

There are different ways of seeing each behavior however, when it comes down to it, John Proctor is a selfish man. He had an affair with his servant whom he considers a child (Act one, Scene two) and admitted he only had the affair because he was a lustful man. Furthermore, he withheld critical information from the village which resulted in the village believing in the illusion of witchcraft and leading to the deaths of many. Last but not least, Proctor had been given an ultimatum of choosing his family or his reputation and he selfishly choose to protect his name. These are merely three demonstrations of Proctor's choice in

Their devotion to their own code of ethics supersedes their loyalty to the community. In the beginning of the play, Proctor and Hale have contrasting views of the witchcraft occurring in the town. Proctor is skeptical when he first hears of it, “I come to see what mischief your uncle’s brewin’ now. ”(22)

John Proctor is seen as an exemplary human being in the eyes of the Puritans. When his wife, Elizabeth Proctor, is accused of witchcraft he rushes to the courts in an attempt to prove her innocence. However, in order to do that he needs to admit to an affair he had with the reverend’s niece, Abigail, who made up the lie that sent Elizabeth to jail. Proctor is unwilling to admit to adultery

The Crucible is a play written by Arthur Miller. It takes place during the Salem witch trials. Salem is an isolated town in the Boston area that is set up perfectly for witchcraft accusations. Abigail is being accused of witchcraft and she is a manipulative girl. Abigail has been accused of committing witchcraft in the woods and she plans to bring other people down with her.

In the beginning of the act Reverend Hale is defending John Proctor. He knows that John Proctor and Elizabeth Proctor are innocent. Reverend Hale says,“Is every defense an attack upon the court?“(2-356.357).

When people think of the play, “The Crucible”, they usually picture the witch trials and women being hanged, but Arthur Miller depicts the witch trials in a completely new light. He shows through a story that the witch trials were much more than just people calling others witches. There was deceit, pain, greed, and more. Through the play, we follow the character, Abigail, observe her actions and their consequences. We witness the lives of people she impacts, what happens to them, and how many times she lies to get her way.
