Letter from Elizabeth and John Proctor

She is an unmarried orphan and described as beautiful and intelligent, however she is very vengeful and seeks for power. In addition to that, she is a liar, manipulative and selfish.

In the play, The Crucible by Arthur Miller, Abigail Williams is not responsible for the death of John Proctor. Even though she started all the mayhem in Salem by dancing in the woods, it was not the cause of John Proctor’s death. Abigail did start everything up, but she did this whole act to get John’s love, but in the end her attempts were fruitless because he died. That is not what she wanted, so she cannot be responsible for what happened. In fact John Proctor is responsible for what happened to him because he didn’t sign the papers, he started the affair with Abigail, and he took the blame on himself instead of trying to prove Elizabeth innocent.

I can't believe John Proctor.He chose that ugly wife over me. I am way better than that good for nothing hag. She is ugly, old, and he deserves more than her. I am a young adventures teen waiting for a man like John to steal me away. Any man would be lucky to have me. She is an old hag who should just go find another man.I am a beautiful young woman and any man would be lucky to have me.But the one man I want is married to a woman who is not good enough for him. John should just leave her and marry me. I am better than her. I would be a way better wife than her. If she was so great John would have never came to me in the night seeking love. I guess I should thank her for not being able to please her own husband. If she had been

A Tragedy as a literary Work is described in which there is a hero that is basically moral individual destroyed by some character flaw and by force beyond his or her control. That hero is a tragic hero who experiences an inner struggle because of this flaw. Because of his charter flaw and his struggle to do what is right, John Proctor is a tragic hero.

John Proctor is a character that I truly hold close to my heart because our life experiences are very similar. He admits his wrongs, he is strong in his beliefs, and he is able to withstand temptation. I believe John Proctor is such a strong person inside and out because he has been through a lot and never gives up on his faith in God.

I believe that John Proctor from the play The Crucible written by Arthur Miller should have been proven innocent. John Proctor (March 30, 1632 – August 19, 1692) was a farmer and tavern keeper in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He was the son of John Proctor, Sr. and Martha Harper. He was hung to death on August 19, 1692 in Salem Village, Massachusetts Bay Colony during the Salem Witch Trials after being accused and convicted for witchcraft. (John_Proctor_(Salem_witch_trials).

In Act 3 you see that he is doing his best to fulfill his promise to

Elizabeth Proctor can be characterized as a devout pacifist, she aligned her Christian principles with her moral principles, causing her to reject and emphasize certain aspects of Puritan society. This is seen in ACT I during John Proctor and her’s lunch when she refused to tell him how she felt about his lechery, Arthur Miller exemplified this by having her state to John, “I do not judge you. The magistrate sits in your heart that judges you. I never thought you but a good man, John- (with a smile)- only somewhat bewildered” (pg.167). She didn’t permit herself to judge his character or give him forgiveness as a means to avoid further friction. Elizabeth was also emotionally constipated, and her constipation was dubbed by herself as being a cold wife with during their last reunion. “I have read my heart this three month, John. Pause. I have sins of my own to count. It needs a cold wife to prompt lechery (pg.206). She fell into a confessional tone when she followed with, “John, I counted myself so plain, so poorly made, no honest love could come to me! Suspicion kissed you when I did; I never knew how I should say my love. It were a cold house I kept!” (pg.206). She lays herself out to him and openly admits that she did not know how she was supposed to love John as a person or as a wife.

In Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, various characters, whether it is from physical trials or unseen personal struggles, experience some kind of major conflict. There are those who spend every day in fear, wondering whether or not they will be falsely accused of witchcraft. There are others who struggle with more internal trials, such as forgiving those who have hurt them. The protagonist, John Proctor, was a man of strong moral constitution, and held himself to a high standard for the sake of his good name and family. As a result of this, he struggled with a major internal conflict throughout the play.

"How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave my name!" (Proctor) John Proctor a farmer, and the husband of Elizabeth. He had an affair with Abigail Williams while she worked as a servant in his house. John is a powerful man in both build and character. " John Proctor is a tormented individual. He believes his affair with Abigail irreparably damaged him in the eyes of god, his wife Elizabeth, and himself. True, Proctor did succumb to sin and commit adultery; however he lacks the capacity to forgive himself." (www.cliffsnotes.com) John Proctor goes from being loved and well respected to a sinner and later on becoming a tragic hero which was surrounded by strong feelings and beliefs.

I hope you are well despite the recent events that have disturbed our town. In the past, I understand that I may have hurt you. However, I write to you as a man who fears for the stability of his town, not as a former companion. I always take it upon myself to judge others, and now I judge myself as well. Since I believe in the need for honesty, I am prepared to go to court to expose us if I must. I simply hope that will not be necessary, and that you and I can come to a compromise. Think of how it felt when your heart broke, how easily that could happen, and how debilitating heartbreak can be. This town is as fragile as a heart, and it feels the strain of jealousy and mistrust. Like a heart, after just one break or crack, it takes time and care to make the town whole again. As loathe as I am to admit to my selfishness, I must disclose that I do not wish to tarnish my reputation. Abigail, it is absolutely imperative that you reveal your lies because, if you do not, countless innocents will die and mistrust will thrive.

Arthur Miller’s play ‘The Crucible’ many characters relationships go through changes. The relationship that changes the most dramatically is John and Elizabeth Proctor. Their relationship starts as uncomfortable and rocky, but through the course of the play, they reconnect and love again.
