Act 2 starts with John and Elizabeth talking about things such as, Mary Warren, crops, and more. They begin to argue about John’s affair and how Elizabeth is being judgemental when really John is judging himself. Elizabeth ends up calling out John for being the judgemental and how the guilt is making him think that there is no good in him as seen in this quote, “I do not judge you. The magistrate sits in your heart that judges you. I never thought you a good man, John” (52). This shows that Elizabeth still sees good in John,but for him to forgive himself he must see the good. Act 3 shows how John’s guilt is causing him to be vengeful and trying to get Abigail to be proved wrong when in the end he just gets up accused of witchcraft. “You are pulling Heaven down and raising up a whore!” (111) This quote is John’s last try to get Abigail taken down as he calls her a whore and says that by siding her they are pulling down
