pg 111-134 (Act 4): The Crucible

The court wants John Proctor to confess to dabbling in witchcraft but he is admant is saving his name so in he end he is hanged for it.

"He have his goodness now. God forbid I take it from him!" pg 134

Throughout te whole play I think that John was striving for a way to be god gain, to cleanse himself of his sins, an at the very end of the play he finds a way to do so.

The church taking 'conessions' from the people accused of witchcraft shows that they know that innocent people have been hanged and accused. The only reason all the peple aren't being set free is to uphold the court's autority and reputation among he citizens in Salem. Pride rom the cout is what is helping hang all he innocent people, but in the nd pride is also what helped save John Proctor's soul.

Level Question:
Would you falsely confess to some supposed sinsyou've committed in order to save your life?

pg 95-111 (Act 3): The Crucible

John Proctor wanted to prove to the court that Abigail is a harlot set out for vengeance against his wife, but her hysterics help sway Judge Danforth, so Abigail is seen as a saint once again.

"Elizabeth tell the truth! —Elizabeth, I have confessed it! —Oh god!" pg 105

This scene was really sad an dissapointing to me. I know that Elizabeth was trying to protect John's name by not admitting that he comitted adultery, but she unknowingly blew their chance at salvation.

Abigail at this point in the play has to be the greatest actress o her time, I hope that karma strikes he down for all the innocent people she has condemned and for all the outright lies that she has told.

Level Question:
How would Elizabeth admitting Abigail to being a harlot have changed the outcome of that day in court?
