Persuasive Letter To The Crucible

(Enter stage while being thrown through the door)
John to the guards – Why do you follow the children of the devil. (Closes cage) just open your eyes and see the dread and fear that rules Salem.
(Guards leave) How did it come to this? I wish I could see dear Elizabeth’s face, to tell her I tried. I couldn’t keep my own wife safe. Poor Rebeca Nurse, she was so caring, generous and a mother too many, but was accused and signed to hang for helping another. I hope Francis Nurse is coping with the loss of his dearest wife.
(Leans against the jail wall) I wonder what has become of Giles Cory and his Wife. (Smiles) That angry old man just always gets himself into trouble. (Laughs) look at me laughing on my death bed, like an idiot.
(Turns to the front) I can’t fathom the senselessness of Danforth and Pariss to believe that the people of Salem are witch’s when their only choice is to admit to witchery, to sign to a lie, as God’s law looks down upon the deaths of so many innocents and makes excuses and lies
It is all that girls fault, if she never of taken her childish revenge on my dear Elizabeth this wouldn’t of happened. Will beat that girl Abigail the next chance I have, even if it is in hell. That accusing and manipulating whore. The power has turned the town’s eyes away and she is running the Salem Ragged. (Looks out cell) She is no mere child, she is an envious devil.
(Fall to the ground) why? Why did I falter. Why did I forget my dearest Elizabeth for some envious Hag of a woman. She should have thrown me when she found me with her, she would have been better without me as a husband. (Stands up) I can’t dwell on the past now I need to decide my own fate… I will sign to their lie and I will make up for my mistakes in life, for Elizabeth’s sake, and hug my boys and Elizabeth to say I’m sorry for my sins. I wish I could see her now I need to her what she says. I need to know if my path is the right
