    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.…

    In conclusion, Abigail’s flaws of lust, dishonesty, and temper led her to be the most responsible for the tragedy of witch-hunt in Salem. I chose Abigail because I believed that she was the reason this whole thing started and, if it wasn’t for her lustful thoughts, ability to lie without being caught, and her quick-temper fits all of this could have been…

    The court perceives their town leader, the head of the church, Reverend Parris, as undoubtedly innocent because of his position as a man of God. In essence, through the implied promise of strict adherence to the word of God, he is absolved of the possibility of reasonable doubt in the face of crime. The court perceives Abigail’s innocence through her premise of purifying the town, that her actions are all in the interest of a greater good, and so by using her experiences and actions and distorting them to achieve martyrdom, she becomes so holy to the town of Salem, they refuse to believe she would be at fault. John Proctor calls attention to this hypocrisy by reminding the court essentially that is always true that all humans can and do sin, and that neither Parris nor Abigail are exempt from that truth, and so, refusing to hold an unbiased trial for those accused of witchcraft, they are handing to much power to the unbalanced biases a court of justice is expected to…
