Response To John Proctor
I have chosen to write my response on the fact that John Proctor has committed adultery with Abigail. I believe that John does not sincerely mean sorry for cheating on his wife Elizabeth. I think this because if he really meant it then he would be begging for her forgiveness and not just saying sorry and it is over now. Also if he really meant it then he would have an actual conversation about the situation and would like to hear her opinion on the problem. Elizabeth has said that she ¨forgives John¨, but my opinion on the matter is she does not sincerely mean it. I think this because she does not want problems between her and her husband. Also i think she just wants to forget about it as soon as possible and may think it will not happen

    John Proctor Vs Abigale Williams Analysis

    I think the best case scenario for John Proctor is he is a man and for a long time his wife was sick, and could’nt give him what he desired so their love grew apart and he had to look elsewhere and he did’nt have to look very far and he looked toward his maid Abigale Williams for she was attracted to him and it made the whole incedent all the more harder to refuse and and then he realized the mistake he had made as his wife was getting better she shunned Abigale from her household, but Abby did’nt go quietly and she is still trying to minipulate John into leaving his wifeand it was making her more minipulative because she knew he would not leave his wife without somekind of “Brain Washing”. And that is how I think John Proctor is a very good, and honest man because he saw his mistake although it was to late he did’nt run from the problem or give into temptation he faced it like a strong man and starred it down in the face and dealt with the problem from it’s source.…

    Examples Of Mistakes In John Proctor

    John Proctor begins the novel as a man who has made mistakes and is trying to avoid further mistakes. The first thing that would characterize John as a villain is when the affair with Abagail is made known to the readers. This shows villain like characteristics because he has broken the trust of his wife and ruined the relationship with God by committing one of the sins listed on the Ten Commandments. Further into the novel we see that proctor is trying to turn things around but not full heartedly. He try's to earn the forgiveness of his wife by making sure she is content with everything he does.…

    John Proctor is a very dynamic character who has an internal conflict between being righteous and falling into temptation. This character is very unique because he changes his personality throughout the story. I like John Proctor because he is a symbol of the common man because most men fall into temptation at one point in their lives. We all try to do well but we are all sinners and we need to learn from our mistakes. I can relate to this character because I to have fallen into temptation but turn to God to guide me and direct me in the right path.…

    John Proctor Cruicible Essay

    It cannot be denied that John Proctor had an affair with Abigail Williams. He did something wrong and his actions haunt him throughout the play. He did break the sixth commandment, but because he is a sinner does not mean he is a terrible man. Everyone has sinned, and they cannot try and change that. It is how they deal with sin that defies who they are. John Proctor shows that he is not bad by having the feeling of guilt. For without guilt, it would mean that what he did, in his eyes did not feel wrong. This is not the case because during act one, while Proctor is introduced, Abigail tempts him while they are alone.…

    John Proctor's Death

    In the play, John Proctor is an ordinary farmer, who has proven himself a hardworking man, with a good name around the village of Salem. John is the type of man who often says what he believes and he does what his heart tells him to. In his past he has done a lot of good and bad deeds, but he is a human and humans do make mistakes for example, he had committed the crime of lechery with Abigail Williams. Abigail used to work at his house as a servant for him and his wife Elizabeth Proctor. Abigail is a two-faced 18 year old who causes a lot of mischief and she is in love with John and will do anything to separate him and his wife, just to take her place. John clearly regrets the mistake he had made in his life, and does his best to pick himself up and attempts to change things in his life. He is a smart man who is somewhat foolish, because from what I have observed, John puts more importance on the present than he does on the future. He is a kind man who is loyal to his wife and friends; he even blackens his own name for the sake of their lives. He is devoted to stop the hangings, and save the people who are accused.…

    I just want to start out by telling you how much I have missed having you in my life. I have found it very difficult to come and talk to you in person, so I wrote this letter in response to yours. As I first read your letter I was both shocked and saddened by your words saying that everything was over between us. But then I realized that you wouldnt risk telling the truth in a letter as it could end up in the wrong hands. I believe that your letter was just a message that you finally wanted to meet up again, but I'm sorry that I couldn't have built up the courage to speak. Although you have married Elizabeth, I know that I am the woman that you love. I know that Elizabeth walked in upon us kissing, but it is better that she knows…
