    Loyalty Theme In The Crucible

    Mary Warren tells Elizabeth and Proctor, “He sentenced her. He must. But not Sarah Good. For Sarah Good confessed, y’see” (Miller 28). The women that were willing to stand with their faith and keep their decency hung, which they believed was a better option than confessing to something they never did, only to live the rest of their lives hated under a watchful eye. Elizabeth Proctor is an astounding example of poise and integrity. In Act II she states, “John-I think I must go with them” (Miller 37). She is not going to put up a fight because she knows that it will only cause more trauma to herself, as well as her family. Elizabeth believes in her faith, so she will follow through with these beliefs and fight for all that she believes in. Elizabeth’s husband John also suffers with integrity as his wife is being taken when he says, “Peace. It is a providence, and no great change; we are only what we always were, but naked now” (Miller 38). Proctor knows that nobody in the town is innocent, including himself. He is willing to show who he is to save his wife and try to show the true light on the witchcraft…

    Female Dominance In The Crucible

    This is so, as ‘Danforth’ asks ‘Elizabeth’ “…be there no wifely tenderness within you....” The sub-text of the quote practically asks ‘Elizabeth’ if she even cares for ‘John’ as it questions her role as a wife. This statement is supported by ‘Danforth’s’ following remark “…He will die with the sunrise. Your husband…Are you stone...”. This supports the question of ‘Elizabeth’ being a good or faithful wife as it emotionally explores whether ‘Elizabeth’ will be dearly affected by the hanging of her husband. This is female submission as these emotional remarks and gestures acted by ‘Danforth’ towards ‘Elizabeth’ were able to manipulate ‘Elizabeth’ to tend to her husbands needs. In conclusion, Act Three and Four of ‘The Crucible’ are a metaphor of the turning of female dominance into female submission in the 1600s of Salem and the ‘McCarthyist’ era of 1950s America. Thus leading to the controlling womanly figure of Act Three to the dominating male society in Act Four.…

    the crucible letters

    I write this letter because “I think you’re sad again. Are you?” Page 51 (Act 2). Elizabeth, you’re my beautiful wife and “I mean to please you.” Page 50 (Act 2) I loved the food you made yesterday honey, it was simply delicious. I couldn’t ask for a better wife and more from you; however I could feel you starting to hate me. I feel you don’t want my kisses no more and it makes me feel like dirt. Are you disappointed with me? I noticed you sadder, I promise you I will consider going to Salem. But anyway, you must forget about Abigail and me. All this nonsense is history and I assure you that I did not lie to you. You doubt me very minute of the day Elizabeth and I don’t appreciate it. Believe me when I say I am just as stressed as you are about all this craziness, I swear that Abigail‘s dancing had nothing to do with witchcraft. Do not judge me, just because me and Abigail were alone in a room together, it does not mean we’ve done anything evil. You know sometimes I feel as if my house is a courtroom. I must apologize though for threatening to whip Mary, I just can’t believe that you were in the accusations. I need to be calm but can’t because I know you know about Abigail... I will go to go to Salem and testify against Abigail. I apologize for being defensive; I did not want to involve myself with Abigail any longer. I know you must be embarrassed of me finding it difficult to recall the Ten Commandments of my head when Hale came. Elizabeth you must know that I am trying to save our marriage, don’t pay mind to Abigail for she is a jealous little girl, Abigail has gone too far with her jealousy and I will save you my Elizabeth.…

    The Crucible by Arthur Miller

    Elizabeth Proctor, who is the wife of John Proctor, and the enemy of Abigail Williams, appears to be a loving, caring and sturdy housewife on the outside. Truthfully, Elizabeth is a cold, insecure, and vengeful woman with trust issues in her marriage. "Spare me! You forget nothin' and forgive nothin'. Learn charity, women." (52) At first we assume that Elizabeth is only cold in her marriage because of John’s infidelity with Abigail, but we learn that her bitterness comes from a lack of self-worth and pride in herself. "I have sins of my own to count. It needs a cold wife to prompt lechery" (131). This insecure and cold spirit led to Johns affair with the house worker who was undoubtedly more confident and had a sexual appetite and appeal that intrigued John. The problem was not just the adultery that was committed, but the harlot herself. Abigail was a sneaky liar, who was able to imprison Elizabeth as soon as she saw the spirit of revenge brewing inside of Elizabeth. "She is blackening my name in the village! She is telling lies about me!"…

    The Crucible Revenge Analysis

    Elizabeth struggles to forgive John for his adultery. She is too immature to let go which causes her to want revenge on Abigail. Abigail, on the other hand, wants revenge on Elizabeth. “Oh John, I will make you such a wife when the world is white again!” (Miller 141). She is absolutely in love with him, but she can not control herself because she is too immature to handle a sexual relationship, especially with a thirty-five year old man. Her greed for him overpowers her ability to think and reason successfully. Abigail’s friend, Mary Warren, knows the truth about the relationship with John and is to testify about it to the court. After peer pressure from Abigail and a couple other girls, she continues to tell the same lies as Abigail. The only reason she gives in is if she does not Abigail will get revenge on her. This immaturity mixed with selfishness makes for a revenge seeking, greedy…
