The Crucible, John Proctor


            In the play, The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, there is a strong and good character that gets caught up in a big mess that in the end will bring him to his death. He owns his own farm and lives with his wife Elizabeth and has 3 sons. All his problems started out when they hired this young lady to do there cleaning around the house. Her name is Abigail Williams some call her Abby and John ends up having an affair with her and then tells his wife about it and she fires her. This is the start of all his troubles cause then Abby and a couple of her friends dance around in the woods and she drinks chicken's blood to try and get Elizabeth, John's wife, killed. They get caught and then all the big problems begin and all the corruption. Then in the end John goes and tells the truth to the Judges and ends up hanging for his affair and charges on trying to overthrow the court. .
             Proctor is a farmer in his middle thirties and he has not been a partisan of any faction in town, but there is evidence to suggest that he had a sharp and biting way with hypocrites. He was the kind of man, with powerful body, even tempered, and not easily led, who cannot refuse support to partisans without drawing their deepest resentment. In Proctors presence a fool felt his foolishness instantly and a Proctor is always marked for calumny therefore. He lived with his wife Elizabeth and he had 3 sons. A good while back he had this maid working for them named Abigail Williams who is seventeen and a strikingly beautiful girl. She was an orphan and has an endless capacity for dissembling. Rev. Samuel Parris took her out of orphanage and she lives with him. One day Abigail and John Procter had an affair, something that he will be regretting until he dies that never goes away. He ends up deciding to tell his wife about this and she fires Abigail and I believe she told some of the neighbors that Abby did because Abby couldn't get work being a maid anymore, nobody would hire her.
