She is powerful - in fact i think the most powerful of all Shakespearean female characters. But her strength is the strength of the Devil. She is confident‚ focussed and downright evil.

He is more like a Christian prince of darkness‚ and he refers to himself as devil to state his mind. It can be said of Christian allusions in this text that Richard plays the part of the devil‚ the son‚ who fell from God’s grace and presence.

The Crucible:Elizabeth Proctor Out of all the characters‚in my opinion‚ Elizabeth is the best character in the cast in the Crucible. She was a faithful wife‚ a good mother‚ and strong in her faith/religion. Even though her husband cheated on her she still remained faithful to him.
