After being left out of jail‚ Elizabeth Proctor answers John Proctor’s question about Giles‚ “So [Giles Corey] stand mute‚ and died Christian under the law. And so his sons will have his farm (Act 4‚ 135).” Giles knows that if he confesses about being or not being a witch‚ he’ll lose his farm

Abigail had lied countless times throughout the play one of the biggest being the one that dealt with Elizabeth Proctor. Abigail had threatened the girls at the beginning to lie in order to try and save herself from being accused “ let either of you breath a word… I will come to you in the black of some terrible night and bring a pointy reckoning”(1268) .

Unlike Abigail and Ann‚ there are characters that are trustworthy and liable‚ such as Elizabeth English and John Proctor. Based off of these four different characters‚ it is begging the question; is lying justifiable? Lying is not Justifiable because it can negatively affect others

because in the play these scenes took place indoors. Another slight change in the movie from the play is that in the movie the Proctor ’s have two kids‚ but in the play they have three. Another scene that is in the movie that is not in the play is the final scene where Proctor is executed. In the play they do not talk about Proctor ’s hanging‚ the book ends with Elizabeth saying‚ "He has his goodness now..."(Miller 145). The changes made to The Crucible for the movie version enhance the plot and make

Mary is very misled by the people surrounding especially John Procter and Abigail. John tells her to say one thing‚ “Proctor: You’re coming to the court with me‚ Mary. You will tell it in the court. You will tell the court how those poppets come here and who stuck the needle in. Mary Warren: She’ll kill me for sayin’ that! I cannot‚ they’ll turn on me—“‚ you can sense Mary’s

Crucible to the hangings of various innocent people. Reverend Parris highly regards his reputation more than standing up to a corrupt authority. Judge Danforth wrongly condemns and hangs townspeople‚ yet refuses to admit his faults. By contrast‚ John Proctor is an ashamed lecher and prioritizes saving his wife and saving the unjustly convicted people who are still alive with the truth. Throughout The Crucible‚ Miller utilizes corrupt male authority figures to show that falsely

In the start of The Crucible‚ we are introduced to a very simple man at first. His name is Reverend Hale. Not too long in the story we see him drastically change due to events he experiences and logical thinking in every situation. Very quickly we see him change from the simple‚ easy minded Reverend in the beginning to an uneasy and complex character at the end. In Act I Reverend‚ or John‚ Hale is presented to the reader in a straightforward manner. Reverend Hale is from Boston and has been called

Elizabeth shows her personal purity when she refuses to persuade her husband to confess to crimes of witchcraft. She refuses because she believes that he is good now in God’s light. God‚ to her‚ will show her the right way‚ and she believes that by following God’s moral code she will be right and just.

The result is also not what Abigail expected as Mr. Proctor does not give up his wife. Thus‚ as long as conflict occur‚ it is almost impossible that not change happens. In some occasions‚ it is possible that our positions change from the good side to the evil side during a conflict. At the start of the

In my opinion the theme of The Crucible is to not jump to conclusions. There are many instances in the play where people jump to conclusions and very bad things happen in return. Another theme that the author is trying to portray is that reputation doesn’t matter. For example‚ in the play many people would not have gotten convicted‚ had Rev. Parris not cared so much about his reputation he would have come clean about the girls and the trials would probably have stopped.An example of Rev. Parris only
