Examples Of Faith In The Crucible

At the point when the group of onlookers is initially acquainted with Proctor in Act I, he has a discussion with Abigail. This scene uncovers to the group of onlookers that they had been as one preceding and that Proctor has submitted infidelity with Abigail. In the following Act, Proctor discovers that his better half has been blamed for witchcraft, and Abigail is the person who has made the allegation. In some way or another, Proctor realizes that it is his blame that the allegation was made. He reprimands Abigail and promises to make it right.

Proctor fights for his wife life and realizes that it is his responsibility to save her. Also in the Courtroom Proctor and other members conversated on the problem. Proctor then confesses the affair with Abigail. Abigail denies proctor claims. Abby Says, “ Mr Danforth, he is lying”(875).

She has an arrow in you yet, John Proctor, and you know it well!”(Miller, 66). Though Proctor has been trying to forget about what he has done with Abigail, he comes to realize that, while he despises the idea, Abigail will stop at nothing to be with him, even if it means killing Elizabeth Proctor; John Proctor has come to think that keeping his affair in the dark is a better choice than confessing to his sins, when the truth is that it’s only the easier choice. Because Proctor refuses to face his fear of confession, many people are accused by Abigail, including his own wife. Furthermore, Proctor is taking a greater risk by not confessing, for Abigail Williams can use the affair as leverage, and the longer he waits to confess, the worse the punishment will be, especially if he isn’t the one to give himself

Proctor’s immense pride and fear of public opinion compelled him to withhold his adultery from the court, but by the end of the play he is more concerned with his personal integrity than his public reputation. He realizes his fault of having an affair with Abigail plus his stubborn attitude to maintain his pride, which caused his own downfall, but ultimately it transforms Proctor. The reversal of fortune makes Proctor's tragic flaw more apparent. When his wife Elizabeth is convicted of being a witch and in turn is taken away by the court to proceed the trial, where the end result is death, at that time Proctor admits to his affair with Abigail. Proctor reveals that he “In the proper place - where my beasts are bedded” had a pleasant time with Abigail”.

The Crucible and the Ironies of Religion Arthur Miller wrote the famed play “The Crucible” as an analogy of his experiences during the red scare. He undoubtedly demonstrated the ignorance of the people whom were accusing he and others of being affiliated with the communist party. I also believe that he did much more than expose the corruption going on during the red scare. I believe that in “The Crucible” Arthur Miller paints a vivid picture of how corrupt and evil religion itself can be. A particular scene where Reverend Hale and Reverend Parris are questioning Abigail and Tituba is a great example of this immorality.

This says a lot about Abigail, she was capable of turning a godly man, who loves his wife and children, to a man guilty of adultery. The way Abigail interacts and treats Proctor, shows her manipulative and lustful characteristics, which is highly discouraged in the Puritain

When he is speaking to Abby in the woods on a dark night, Proctor warns her, “I come to tell you, Abby, what I will do tomorrow in the court. I would not take you by surprise, but give you all good time to think on what to do to save yourself” (Miller 142). Proctor holds the power to ruin them both, but gives her the option to lie so she doesn't have to. In doing so there is the possibility of saving Elizabeth and not staining both of their names, but requires Abigail’s help. It is difficult to talk to her, demonstrating the strength of Proctor’s will, but he gives Abigail an advanced notice to prepare what she has to say.

Although she may not have provided a warm home-life for her husband. John Proctor, she remains good, moral, and composed throughout the novel. However it is these qualities that leads to the annihilation of her exceptional reputation when she is unknowingly put to a test that will determine not only her own fate, but also the future of John, and many others who have been accused of witchcraft It had been predetermined by John. Abigail Williams was interrogated about why

Because of this, logic behind his actions become lost since he begins executing them with a desire to reform the corruptness of his crime. Elizabeth suggests to Proctor, that by telling the court that Abigail and the other girls bewitchments are of pretense, all women who were sentenced to death would be given their lives back. He knows that telling the judges is the most rational, but he pauses before making a choice as he responds “quietly, struggling with his thought” (53). His uncertainty shows his conflicting emotion because Proctor feels he cannot accuse Abigail because his guilt will not allow him to. But he coexisting feels the priority to accuse her in order to keep Elizabeth in high spirits.

The contention between the characters have intensified as the argument escalates, and Proctor's failure at pinning the blame on Abigail has frustrated him. When Abigail begins another self righteous fit of possession and calls upon Heaven, Proctor can no longer stand her hypocrisy. He cries out in a “roaring voice” “breathless and in agony: It is a whore!” (Miller 109, 110).

Proctor then states that there was never a relationship to begin with and she should let go of her hopes. Abigail yells in tears at Proctor stating that he has loved her and convinced her that they were in love. She also states that it is impossible to give up her love for him and that she will accept Proctor no matter what sin he commits. This scene from The Crucible reveals how the characters judge one another by their past relationships and interactions to bring out the quality of arrogance. In the beginning of the scene, Abigail moves closer and compliments Proctor because she has a desire to be with him.

Abigail finally sees the outturn of her lies she has made for what she wants. Proctor is hanged which she didn’t attend to do, but now pays the price. She also found out what lying can do “They’re pretending, Mr. Danforth... Mary, please don’t hurt me!.”(miller 120-121). Lying has made her corrupt and is used to persuade to make harm with.

Also, in attempt to tell the truth about Abigail, John Proctor admits to cheating on his wife with Abigail, but Elizabeth lets her fear assist her in lying. John Proctor tells everyone in the court, previous to Elizabeth arriving, “she [has] never lied” (III.891.). With everyone now knowing that she does not lie, it makes her trustworthy and believable. Deputy Danforth then brings Elizabeth in to confirm what

Likewise, when Elizabeth is brought before Danforth to verify Proctor’s confession, she lies to protect her husband, whom she refers to as a “goodly man,” from suspicion (Miller, 113). The affair may have caused Elizabeth to doubt Proctor but both parties still care deeply for each other and try to protect each other from harm. Even in his last moments, Proctor’s last words- “Show honor now, show a stony heart and sink them with it!”- were directed toward Elizabeth and were full of love and care (Miller, 144). Proctor may have sinned but his regret over his affair with Abigail and the trouble he had brought upon his wife justifies his

Abigail 's heartless attitude is shown in act two when she frames and accuses Elizabeth Proctor for witchcraft. She desired and longed for this revenge on poor Proctors innocent wife, aiming for her through out the play. Later on in Act Three she seems to lose her last attachment of society by destroying John Proctor, who she claims to love with all her heart. When John attempts and threatens to expose Abigail’s wrong doings, she skillfully manages to turn the whole problem around on him, sending him off
