In the story “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller, there are many dramatis personas that are significant. Two very significant characters in the crucible are Abigail and Elizabeth. Elizabeth is married to John proctor and Abigail throughout the story tries to seduce and have an affair with him.

Mr. Gilberth was one of the main characters in the play; he was the one who kept the family in order. He was a famous efficiency expert, and ran his family that way. Often times Mr. Gilberth would call the kids down to family meetings by blowing his whistle, all of the children had to stop what they were doing, and immediately report downstairs. I really liked Mrs. Gilberth, she tried to keep her husband, Mr. Gilberth in check, and is more reasonable when it comes to the children, she was very kind and gentle with the kids. I think the most important character relationships would be between Mr. Gilberth and his children, because he was the one who made the rules in the house, and disciplined the children. If I were to act in this play, I would want to be Lillian, she would be fun to play because she has a very childish personality, and is obsessed with boys.…

He is strongly committed to his wife, Elizabeth, and is determined to avoid any further contact with Abigail. “I will cut off my hand before I’ll ever reach for you again” (page 18)…

Initially, she does not know that she is poor, but from her interactions with Miss Moore and the other rich kids, she becomes aware of her environment.

She is focused on remaining upbeat that she is the best among all of her…
