After the accusations that the girls made, they started up the court in which the people would be asked to confess that they participated in witchcraft or they would be hung. The girls continued to accuse many others among the people accused was Elizabeth Proctor, who was accused of trying to kill Abigail by using a doll and stabbing it with a needle.
Mary Warren: "She'll kill me for sayin' that! Abby'll charge lechery on you, Mr. Proctor!"
Proctor: "She told you!"
Mary Warren: "I have known it, sir. She'll ruin you with it, I know she will."
Cheever and others have warrants of arresting accused people and taking them back to Salem. He arrives to Proctor's house and take Elizabeth. he tells them what she has been accused of and takes the doll Mary made as "evidence" of her witchcraft against Abby.
John Proctor tries to stop them from taking his wife but is unsuccessful at it. He tells her he will go to Salem to bring her back home. After they leave with Elizabeth Proctor demands Marry to go with him to the court and prove Elizabeth innocent by accusing Abigail of all her lies. Mary refuses which shows how much power Abigail really has over her and how she's scared.
Level Question:
What do you think Proctor will do to prove that Abigail is lying? Is there really any evidence that can be used against Abigail other than the other girls, since they seem to be scared to ever go against her.
I think John Proctor will have to fess up about his affair with Abigail so he can use that against her somehow to sway the public's opinion of her validity.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I don't think any real evidence can be shown to prove any innocent because how would one prove that they're not a witch? If anyone goes against Abigail she will just scream like she's posessed and have them thrown into court like everyone else.
I think John Proctor will come out and say that he had relationship with Abigail to prove that she is not trustworthy person and that she could lying about anything that she says. One type evidence that could be use against her is maybe Parris because he had a feeling that Abigail had something to do with witchcraft and since Parris is the minster of the town people are willing to believe him if they can solve the problem of witchcraft.
