Earlier this morning, Judge Danforth, as well as a few anonymous sources, released a statement of what happened during the recess of court late last afternoon. John Proctor has admitted to be a lecher, claiming he committed adultery with one of Salem’s little angels, Abigail Williams. What had started out as a conversation of court and the termination of witchcraft ended when Proctor, quite literally, cried whore. Quote Proctor: “Whore!

“My heart beat thick, my head grew hot; a sound filled my ears, which I deemed the rushing of wings; something seemed near me; I was oppressed, suffocated.” Jane Eyre, written by Charlotte Bronte, is full of Christ like figures but at the same time the dark sense of the supernatural.

He watched from a far when she kissed Charlotte’s cheek, murmuring a good night after a game of chess, when she descended from the stairs, dressed in sky blue ruffled blouse, offering an arm for…

“I have given you my soul: leave me my name.” This quote was said by John Proctor, a character from The Crucible John Proctor denied his confession when he was free. John Proctor is a farmer in his mid thirties that had an affair with a seventeen year old girl. He is known as an outcast he plows on Sundays and does not go to church often.

In The Crucible, John Proctor, a respected, godly man, became inappropriately involved with a younger woman, Abigail Williams, while he was still married to his wife Goody Proctor. He admitted to the crime and shortly after, the entire town was gossiping about it. Proctor agreed to confess his sin of adultery, but when he is told that it must be a public confession, he backs out to save his and his wife's name.…

The humble, honest wife, and the home wrecking mistress can be so a like yet, so very different. Elizabeth Proctor and Abigail William’s personalities clash through out “The Crucible”.

Abigail Williams, the manipulative niece of Parris, has the deeper wish to murder Goody Proctor, and take her place as John’s wife; this motive provokes her to drink blood and cast charms, to express evil’s existence in the courtroom, and to frame Elizabeth with a poppet--all of these causing conflict and excitement to rise in Salem. After having an affair with John, Abigail is dismissed from her job as a servant in the Proctor’s household; being away from her lover for so long makes Abby…

A prevalent theme in The Crucible is preserving one’s reputation. There are several characters throughout the story that are concerned with keeping a good reputation; although I am going to focus on only three, John Proctor, Judge Danforth, and Reverend Parris. John Proctor wants to be seen as someone that always does the right thing. Judge Danforth is known as a trustworthy judge that always makes the right decisions. And Parris is a churchly figure that always sticks to God’s word. All of the…
