Elizabeth’s Character – Good or Bad? Just like many puritan women‚ Elizabeth Proctor is reserved‚ slow to complain‚ and dutiful. Elizabeth’s moral character proves to be an important factor all through the book. She gives people in the play and people today the example on how to treat others when she said‚ "I have sins of my own to count" (Miller 137). People can’t go around judging others and not check themselves and be rightly so to judge. Before she knew of this she said‚ "I have read my heart"

Changing lifestyle is not only difficult for one specific person‚ it can affect anybody anywhere. In the story‚ “What of This Goldfish‚ Would You Wish”‚ the characters Sergei and

She didn’t want to tell the truth because she feared Bailey would become furious and ultimately they were all killed at the
