Elizabeth's Self-Controlled Quotes
Elizabeth’s self-controlled trait helped her survive through each obstacle that was thrown to her. She mange her tempter when she found out about Johns affair for this she also did not judge him by saying (Miller 1124) “I do not judge you. The magistrate sits in your heart that judges you”. This shows how well she’s able to control herself and shows how good of Christian women she is for not judging her own husband but letting him judge his own mistake.

    Like her best friend Hilly, Elizabeth falls squarely into the villain/bully/ child abuser category, though we admit we find her a little more sympathetic than Hilly. Not that this excuses her, but she seems particularly vulnerable to Hilly's whims because of her borderline economic status. Although her mother, Miss Fredericks, is rich, Elizabeth…

    Throughout the Crucible Miller uses Elizabeth, who is a pious character, as a judge of character. Through her eyes we learn who is innately good such as Rebecca Nurse, we learn that John Proctor is a tragic hero whose fatal flaw is that he is “somewhat bewildered” and that Abigail truly is “a whore” with an “endless capacity for dissembling”. The audience trusts her because when Hale asks her if she knows her commandments she says, “I surely do, there be no mark of blame upon my life Mr Hale.” She has been unfairly wronged by her husband and as a result counts herself “so plain, so poorly made” which prompts…

    When she first found out about the affair, she made John feel the guilt of the affair every day; but in the end she admits that deep within herself she knew all along that John’s affair with Abigail wasn’t completely his fault, and that she ‘kept a cold house.’ She does not just blame him for their marriage going wrong as she seemed to do earlier in the play, but instead she admits she is also capable of self-criticism. When she admitted this, she showed her loyalty and love for John, ultimately making up for treating him badly in the beginning of the play. An admirable character always ends up doing something good that overcomes the evil that the character previously exerted. I believe Elizabeth truly was able to overcome her anger and was able to make up for all her sins at the end of the play, thus making her one of the most admirable characters in the…

Elizabeth is trying to make her husband turn in Abigail as a witch. She seems sly about it and this exposes her pride. She has pride that she is able to punish Abigail for hurting her.

    Next, on the opposite side, is John’s relationship with Elizabeth that is filled with a passion for arguing judgment, trust, self-judgment and regret. The passion for arguing judgment arose because while reading through the text I noticed that the one thing John brought up quite a few times were telling Elizabeth not to judge him but to instead judge herself. I think that John said this not because he believed that she was judging him but because he would rather have her judging him than himself doing the judgment because he thought or hoped she wouldn’t be as…

    One of my Elizabeth Gilbert’s favorite sayings: “Your emotions are the slaves to your thoughts, and you are the slave to your emotions.” You become what you believe you are and this is proved by science and many experiences of international influencers around the world. Affecting other’s emotions is not an easy task. However, when it happens and you really put your fingerprint on someone’s emotions, this would create a great inspirational story that deserves to be heard.…

    The main thing that draws me in about Elizabeth is her relationship with Mr. Darcy. Her first thoughts about Darcy are that he’s conceded and he cares too much about “class” or “rank” in society more than love or feelings when it comes to a relationship. While sitting down in between dances at the ball she overhears Darcy talking to Mr. Bingley about the girls at the ball and why he (Darcy) isn’t dancing with one of them. Darcy responds “I certainly shall not. You know how I detest it, unless I am particularly acquainted with my partner. At such an assembly as this, it would be insupportable. Your sisters are engaged, and there is not another woman in the room whom it would not be a punishment to me to stand up with.” (pg 12-13). Matters only get worse when Bingley asks if he’d like to have Jane introduce him to Elizabeth for a dance and when Darcy looks at Elizabeth he says “She is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me; and I am in no humor at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men.” (pg. 13). Elizabeth is so upset by Darcy’s words that for the better part of the first half of the novel she does everything in her power to insight angry in Darcy so that he will leave her alone.…
