Miller John was hung for not confessing. Yet, his legacy of fighting for what you believe in still prevailed. Their heads were smashed by Indians while Abigail, at a presumably young age, watched.
She has all the symptoms of psychopathy, being manipulative, apathetic, and ruthless. She wishes to rid herself of Elizabeth so that her and John can be together and this on its own signifies some sort of mental delusion, but the measures that Abigail takes to make this realization point to her true insanity. Abigail not only tries to make a charm to kill Goody Proctor, but when this attempt on her life fails, she convinces the Salem court that Elizabeth is a witch. If people had used evidence instead of just accusations then they would have realized that Mr.
Thomas Putnam's anger toward the town for not getting enough respect is what caused him to accuse an innocent man of witchcraft, demonstrating how emotions can lead to immoral. Macey Ravndalen Hour 6 In the play The Crucible, the severe test is whether the city overcomes this tragedy and ends the commotion about witches and to see who realizes what's wrong.
Also if Salem stays with the believes of Puritanism. Many characters are tested throughout the play. John Procter is an example because he confesses falsely to witchcraft to avoid the loss of his children and wife. To begin, it is a popular belief that Tituba, a slave in the story, was justified in her confession to witchcraft in order to save her own life. Tituba instantly confesses, and saves herself from a terrible death. Towards the end of the play, Hale goes back into the town Salem and tries to have people confess to save them from being hang.
Hale wants Proctor to confess so he can be with pregnant wife. Proctor knows that signing the confession is lying, and this sacrifice of honor is the hardest for him to bear. His desire to remain honest and his desire to preserve his family tear him in two.
Proctor believes that God will forgive him if he confesses, because, as Hale states, "life is God's most precious gift; no principle, however glorious, may justify the taking of it. Proctor does not consider himself righteous, in fact he recoils from the idea that he is compared to individuals like Rebecca Nurse who are innocent of any wrongdoing. Of course Proctor has not practiced witchcraft; however, according to himself he is a fallen man, one who has sinned against his wife and himself.
He is willing to sacrifice his honor — which he has already done by admitting to adultery — and he can live with the knowledge that others will view him differently if he confesses. However, Proctor cannot bear the shame of having his confession nailed to the church door.
Because confessing will save his life, he can live with that idea, but he believes nailing his confession to the church door constitutes a betrayal of everyone who refuses to confess. A public display of his false confession — especially at a church that is supposed to uphold truth — would insult those who choose to die to preserve their honor.
A public display of his signature will strip him of his pride and identity. He will lose his good name and be nothing but a broken man. Proctor's decision to destroy the confession demonstrates his commitment to truth and his inability to tolerate falsehood, especially in himself. At the end of Act 3, Reverend Hale quits the court in Salem out of frustration because he sees that irrationality and hysteria have taken over the proceedings. However, in Act 4, we learn that he has returned to Salem to speak with the prisoners and convince them to confess.
Hale just wants people to confess to save their own lives. He knows the court is wearing out their welcome in Salem. All the court wants is confessions to validate their existence.
If they refuse to confess, they will be executed. Why did John change his mind? He wanted to die a good man because he had done so many wrong things in his life.
God forbid I take it from him? She believes that he did the right thing to save his family and that he dies with honor. She want Elizabeth to go to jail or to her dad so she can be with John Proctor. He turns to leave, and Elizabeth says that John must tell him Hale.
