In Salem 1692, people believed in the existence of witches. In a society of strong Christian beliefs. Anyone who acted differently from the rest was accused of being a witch and then the court would actually forgive the accused if they blamed their accusations on another individual. This was the main idea of the play. In this play a group of young girls are caught dancing in the woods and are then accused of being witches. These girls then blame other people in order to get out of trouble and even pretend to be "bewitched" in front of the court during a trial. This leads into the deaths of some innoc

Elizabeth Proctor is John Proctor’s wife. Our first impression of her comes from Abigail who obviously doesn’t like her because she is jealous of the marriage between John and Elizabeth. So we really don’t know what she’s like from the first impressions. She does fear God and has never told a lie. Her attitude towards her husband (John) is definitely cold. She says she doesn’t though. “ John, you are not open with me.”

To me The Crucible reminds us that man is not perfect, and that we can make mistakes. However, even with these mistakes, we can cleanse ourselves and by making what is wrong right.

In act 2, John is the man who Abigail is having the affair with. Hearing this instantly makes John a bad person. To back this idea up there is some extra information we find out about him. John does not go to church, we find out he’s feared and also a sinner and he’s committed adultery! “ Abby, I may think of you softly from time to time, but I will cut off my hand before I’ll ever reach for you again. Wipe it out of mind, we never touched, Abby.” This shows he’s trying to stop his feelings towards Abigail. He is married to a good woman (Elizabeth Proctor). Maybe he’s trying to make things all right.
