Danforth's Monologue From The Crucible
I anxiously look around as I enter the courtroom, the benches are empty from left to right . All the judges have their eyes on me and it is not the kind of spotlight I want. Immediately, my eyes fall down to the ground as I walk with Mr. Proctor by my side. I am here today to confess that I saw no spirits o and that poppet was mine and not Goody Proctor’s.

As he reads it I begin to uncontrollably sob but Mr. Proctor helps me stay calm by touching my head reassuringly. Shortly, after Judge Danforth looks at me and begins to accuse me of lying.

On why, why, why do I have to be so sensitive about everything my tears are holding me back from proving my bravery in this courtroom. Suddenly the wooden right door opens and Abigail and the children walk towards the judge. Abigail is questioned first and but she lies and accuses Goody Proctor of having poppets. She once again blamed Goody Proctor for sticking the needle in the poppet. She is a no good person, she just takes advantage of all us and for what just to have Mr.Proctor to herself. Moments after they ask me to faint to prove that I saw the spirits but I just couldn’t. Afterward Abigail decides to claims that I attack her. She and the other girls quickly turned out because they follow her lead as well. How did I not see this coming I knew this would happen. I should have kept quiet. Abigail is seeking revenge at this moment she wants me to be hanged. Luckily Mr. Proctor saves me from my fear and he finally confesses that he committed adultery with Abigail. Then Goody Proctor is brought in to confirm it, but being the good woman she is tells the judge her husband has not committed adultery. Immediately Abigail once again starts to claiming that a yellow bird, “my spirit” wants to claw her face. But she is only acting to prove to get her way like she always does. The girls follow start to act as if I was doing witchcraft on them too but I was not. Judge Danforth tells me I will be hanged if I don’t confess to
