Salem Witch Trial In The Crucible

The mock witch trial which our class ran was a perfect representation of the crucible. Proctor says “Damn this village” pg 142, and “Damn the Deputy Governor” pg 77 The Crucible. These are two good ways of describing our experience. The charges against the accused were nonsense, but what was more ridiculous was when the judges believed it. The Salem witch trials were similar to our experience in the way that people were falsely accused, false confessions were made to save lives, and there was little in the way of showing your innocence

The person that I correlated the most with would be Proctor. Joe and I were in love, but his wife was in the way. Just like Abigail tries to kill Elizabeth to get with proctor, Joe kills his wife to get with me. In the Crucible, Proctor acts in a very reasonable manner, except for the affair. I too acted pretty sensible except for blatantly confessing to murder. The tows people saw Proctor as a good man and few accused him. In our court, I was accused, but no one was relentlessly going after my head. These reason are why I resemble John Proctor the most.
During the majority of the time, I was an observer. Being an observer gave me the opportunity to watch how the people were being accused. By the time I myself was accused, I had a pretty good understanding of what to say and what not to say. I was accused and punished but never was I afflicted, so I never really got to have the power of accusing
