John Go To The Forrest: Act 2 Deleted Scene
Act Two Scene 2 deleted scene is very bizarre. John goes to the forrest to talk to Abby about defending his wife. During the middle of the conversation John finally catches onto Abby’s insanity. John keeps pleading with Abby to help free his wife. Abby’s reasoning drives John to his boiling point and he strikes her to the ground. Abby is trying to talk to John and he walks away with his lantern back home. I think its deleted because it’s quite violent and has some profanity. I think the directors may have interrupted the scene differently then I may have. The scene probably changed the mood of the movie and the directors didn’t like it. I really like this scene because I think it really shows how insane Abby got and how John had to deal

    The Crucible John Proctor Changes

    Our first change takes place before the story even started. John had loved Elizabeth and still does- or so he says, but if he loved her so much why would he cheat on her? Well with every affair somebody finds out eventually, and Elizabeth did. She did forgive him and they didn’t speak a word of it out in public. Every day John does all that he can to earn back her trust and to make her happy again. Elizabeth refuses to give him the chance because she knows he still likes his mistress, Abby, even though he doesn’t think he does. Elizabeth knows that Abby accused her of being a witch in court because she wants her dead so she can have John all to herself. This is the reason Elizabeth tells John to go to court and get Mary to tell them they were…

    Elizabeth Proctor: Love Versus Honesty

    Before the play takes place, Abigail Williams and John Proctor had an affair while Abigail was working as a servant in their home. Eventually, John confessed and apologized to Elizabeth, pledging his faithfulness to her. Nonetheless, at the time the play takes place, Elizabeth still hasn't fully forgiven him, and gives him a hard time about it. Abigail confessed the pretense of her accusations to him when they were alone, and now he has no way to prove that she's lying to the court. But because he was alone with her again, Elizabeth becomes angry with him. She still doubts her husband because she feels that if it were any other girl he had to go testify against, he would not hesitate. But, because it's Abigail, John feels he has to think harder on making a decision. He doesn't want his name spoiled by a counter-testimony. John feels he is now justified in becoming angry because for the seven months since his confession, he has done nothing but try to please his wife, and she still approaches him with suspicion and accusations. Proctor feels that she will "forget nothin' and forgive nothin'." Elizabeth argues back that he then shouldn't do anything to make her suspicious. This is a trial on their true love, and at that time, things aren't going well. It will take love, trust and forgiveness for the marriage to survive.…

    Elizabeth Proctor Sacrifice In The Crucible

    Elizabeth still wants to believe she is living a perfect life. In Act III (page 113) Elizabeth states, “My husband is a good and righteous man. He is never drunk as some are, nor wastin' his time at the shovelboard, but always his work.” Abigail still loves John and wants Elizabeth out of the picture. This is shown when Elizabeth says, “She wants me dead, John, you know it!” (Act II page 60). She even sets up Elizabeth to be…

    On the Removal of Act 2 Scene 2 in the Crucible

    In Act 2 Scene 2, 2 the main characters are john Proctor and Abigail Williams. They meet in the woods at night, with Abigail wrapped with her nightgown, and Proctor with his lantern raised. As they got over the awkwardness and silence, john pleads with abigail to withdraw the accusations she made. Abigail makes it quite clear that she is irrational as she clings to a belief that the accusations were true and that after everything, that they will get married. The first reason that this scene was cut is because without this scene, the accusations appear to be undetermined whether they were accurate or not. However, if this scene was part of the play, the readers would know that the accusations would be no doubt, fictitious, something Abigail just made up. The second reason is the portrayal of Abigail in this scene. Abigail was portrayed in the first scene as “a strikingly beautiful girl, an orphan with an endless capacity for dissebling.” (pg 8) But in Act 2 Scene 2 Miller was portrayed as bewildered and even delusional as she states that it was true that many people such as George Jacobs, who was in jail at that time, and Elizabeth Proctor had tried to harm her by inflicting pain upon her with needles and pins. “The jab your wife gave’s me haven’t healed yet y’know.” (pg 149)Though, it is suspected by the readers, and backed with evidence that the stories were fabricated by Abigail so as to achieve her goal. The third and last reason, though similar to second, is a very important point. As stated already, Abigail was first introduced by the play as a deceitful and scheming little girl and this is also how she is presented throughout the novel. Though in spite of that, in the scene miller cut out, Abigail is portrayed as innocent, somewhat sweet and caring. She claims and reasons that the townspeople are hypocrites and have hoped that she’d be thrown in jail. She then exclaims “oh, it will need god…

    Abigail In The Crucible

    Through Act 1, Abigail changes her character a number of times. We, as readers, never get to know her true character. In the beginning of the act she is almost portrayed as innocent, presented with "worry", "apprehension" and "propriety", shown in her stage directions such as "quavering as she sits". From this moment in time, the audience are unsure whether she is genuinely caring for her niece Betty or if she is diguising her true self with a selfless cover up. We learn from her dispute with Parris that she had been found dancing in the woods with…

    The Crucible Reading Log Essay

    At the end of the play when John was about to get hanged, Danforth (one of the judge) asks him that, “Did you see any one with the devil? John says, “No”. This shows that John is not accusing any one else like Abigail did, even though he knew that he will be hanged. As a result he was hanged but saved other innocent people’s lives. At the start of the play he was an innocent, hard worker, kind and prestigious man but as the play opens up people’s view for John changes from good to evil person when Mary warren and Abigail accuses him for compacting with the devil and he shouts “God is Dead” (ACT III Pg:105). But by the end of the play he again becomes evil to good because he saves other people’s lives and…

    Abigail Williams Is the Most Wicked of Them All

    Abigail put herself into a very awkward and provocative situation with John Procter. John Proctor was married to Elizabeth, and allegedly had an affair with 16 year old Abigail Williams. After people began to catch onto this promiscuous situation, Abigail and John were really putting themselves into a dangerous and confusing situation. Flirting and flaunting their feelings towards each other, Abigail expresses her love for John in a very inappropriate manner in which John does not accept. Without holding back John says “Abby, you’ll put it out of mind. I’ll not be comin’ for you more.” (Act One, 22) Later in the play, Abby decides to put the blame on John Procter and tells the court about the affair. To protect her husband from danger, Elizabeth testifies that her husband has not been intimate with Abigail, because Proctor is falsely accused of witchcraft and condemned to death.…

    The Crucible and the Extra Scene

    Arthur Miller used a lot of details when writing the Act II Scene ii. This would have led the readers with too much information that would give away the end of the play. The conversation between John Proctor and Abigail Williams tells the audience what their plans and motives are for the future. John ends up telling Abigail that he was going confess the affair and prove to the court that she was faking the whole thing and that she needed to tell them that Elizabeth was innocent and she knew about the needle in the poppet and that she had been lying all along. “Abigail: What will you tell? You will confess to fornication? In the court? Proctor: If you will have it so, so I will tell it!" (p. 158). If Miller had let this scene in the Act when John had confessed it would have not made such an impact on Abigail as it did because if she had know he would have confessed she would have come up with a lie to protect herself from it. Proctor also threatens Abigail to tell the court how it is all a bunch of lies and she has never really seen any spirits, “Proctor: You will tell the court you are blind to spirits; you…

    Critical Response to "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller

    The protagonist, John Proctor, has before the opening if the play had and ended an affair with the Antagonist, Abigail Williams. In this telling of the beginning of the witch trials, it is Abigails desire for revenge that leads the girls into the woods to perform a magic spell against Johns wife Elizabeth. It is dialogue between Abigail and John, and later dialogue of the confession of some of the girls, which reveals the affair between them and Abigails deep desire to have John back at any cost. John is attempting to right his wrong in the affair between himself and Abigail, but spurning her only causes more tension. When Abigail cannot easily win john back, and faces punishment for her actions in the woods, she turns the towns fear of witchcraft and the girls hysteria into her own device for revenge, at any cost. The playwright reveals the depth of his characters; Abigails ruthlessness, Johns remorse, and Elizabeths faith, through dialogue. Parentheticals within the text reveal tone and motivation behind simple words said, from emotion words such as enraged to the simple act of a…
