A month later in August another case came up. Elizabeth and John Proctor.. When the trials started John always said that the three affiliated girls were lying. But no one ever believed him. One day is servant Mary Warren began acting strange with very awkward behavior.
In the play John Proctor makes the descision to tell the court that he had relations with Abigail Williams. This results in Elizabeth having to answer a tough question. Is your husband a lecher? Even though Elizabeth truly knows the answer she chooses to say no. This crucible questions elizabeths ability to tell the truth while selling her husband out.
The reader learns that Proctors marriage is not in the best place at the moment through the discrepancy between what John Proctor does before he sees his wife and when he talks to her. Miller illustrates in his stage directions, “He is not quite pleased. He…takes a pinch of salt, and drops it into the pot,” (49). Here, the reader can understand he is not pleased with his wife’s cooking, however, he fixes it to his liking and then compliments her at dinner. He is not honest with Elizabeth because he is trying to please her and not add any more problems to their marriage.
proctor tries to completely deny the affair he tells Abigail they “Never touched.” Abigail tried to argue and bring out the truth but Proctor keeps on denying it. Proctor will do anything to keep his affair undercover. Throughout the play Proctor realizes
In the play Proctor had an affair with Abigail Williams. He knows it was wrong and he regrets it, but he can not take it back and he does not want to be judged for it. This was a big part in the play and so I felt that it had some insight into Proctor’s life. Abigail Williams lies a lot in this play and she gets the other young girl girls that were caught in the forest to lie with her. Although John Proctor does not buy into their story.
Elizabeth Proctor is good wife with all kindness, moral and upright assembling in her personality. The only weakness of her is cold and indifferent emotion, and it is kind of the indirect cause of John Proctor’s affair with their housekeeper, Abigail Williams. Then she’s got a good reason to be kind of distant and suspicious. “You were alone with her? Why, then, it is not as you told me.
Elizabeth Proctor and Abigail Williams are both extremely important characters in The Crucible who help us get insight into the Salem Witch Trials. Although they are opposing characters, you’d be surprised to find out how similar they actually are. Today, I will be discussing their personalities and how they compare and contrast each other.

John Proctor’s actions of flawed conderdicted many times with those of honorable, however the flawed actions proved to overshadowed why he may have chosen to act with honor.

Likewise, when Elizabeth is brought before Danforth to verify Proctor’s confession, she lies to protect her husband, whom she refers to as a “goodly man,” from suspicion (Miller, 113). The affair may have caused Elizabeth to doubt Proctor but both parties still care deeply for each other and try to protect each other from harm. Even in his last moments, Proctor’s last words- “Show honor now, show a stony heart and sink them with it!”- were directed toward Elizabeth and were full of love and care (Miller, 144). Proctor may have sinned but his regret over his affair with Abigail and the trouble he had brought upon his wife justifies his

John Proctor’s affair with Abigail Williams, causes his wife, Elizabeth Proctor, to lose faith in him. As Elizabeth’s suspicion increases, so does his irritation. John’s annoyance and Elizabeth’s evident grudge is displayed through their language and tone with one another. In addition, their actions suggest their relationship lacks components needed for a healthy relationship–communication, trust, respect, etc. Being in an unhealthy relationship may not be obvious to those who are in it, but through one’s words and actions to the other, others can tell right
For example, Abigail Williams had an affair with John Proctor who was married to Elizabeth Proctor at the time and got discovered. However, Abigail Williams still “loved” John Proctor and was rejected. Later, she accuses Elizabeth Proctor for witchcraft, an action she uses as her revenge. These acts of cruelty ultimately affect all the victims and their families in this play as their consequence is to be hung.

The meeting I attended took place in Union Hills on Thursday at 6:00pm. The meeting was held in a church called The Arrowhead Church. There were around 10 or 11 people there for the meeting.
