The Crucible bonus scene
Statement of intention
This creative writing piece is in the form of an additional scene to Arthur Millers The Crucible. This scene takes place two months after the end of the Salem witch trials. It is a conversation between Mr Hale and Elizabeth Proctor. It explores and evaluates the long term devastation caused by greed and self-interest. This piece displays how dramatic the effects of greed and selfishness can be. Mr Hale reveals his own inner turmoil since the trials, and how his own pride and arrogance contributed to the hangings. Elizabeth reinforces the idea of morality, mainly in defence of her late husband. This piece is written to serve as an example of how greed can corrupt and destroy everything. It is directed to western society presently as greed is becoming a greater issue in all facets of people’s lives. Taking place in a time where many customs and ideas seem idiotic to the modern world helps provide a sense of irony because as it seems people have evolved and gained more knowledge since then greed is still as devastating regardless of time period.

[ELIZABETH quietly sobs] ELIZABETH: I think I will sleep now. [ELIZABETH sees FRANCIS NURSE to the door] thank you Francis. [FRANCIS NURSE opens the door. A haggard man is waiting outside.] FRANCIS NURSE: Who are you sir.
[The man does not respond] FRANCIS NURSE: [shields ELIZABETH, and with more aggression] Who
