Act IV |212| pg. 673

Proctor: ” I will have my life.”

In this quote, Proctor is going through some times of realizations and was just in a point in which he rushed a hard decisions. The realization for John was that he needs to forgive himself and stop hating himself. However, he has too much pride and that’s what made it difficult and also because he was scared of being judged.

Anyways, the character that most stood out to me from this reading was Hale. Although, i do admit that at the beginning of the play ; he wasn’t my favorite character. But he did come back to Salem to help the innocents to confess, which was a great thing because he came to realization. I wonder if he had confessed : that witchery wasn’t real , like would that have made a big difference. I’m really rooting for Hale to get it together and making real actions, and heading back to Salem was a good first step!

Quote of the Week

Francis- Act 3; 161

“Mr. Danforth, i gave all my word no harm would come to them for signing this.”

I chose this quote because it can be seen in like two ways. One, he was saying the truth and people won’t like it or two, he lied to do make time. Even if it might not matter much; the court will be extra and make more drama. Francis seems to be a nice person who is just trying to save his women’s life.

Giles is my favorite character because he wasn’t really educated but knows all his rights and seems to be pretty confident. I think he’s pretty cool even though he isn’t that educated. He knows about court since he’s been in court 35 times. Also Danforth’s father was in court with Giles 35 years ago …

Quote of the Week:
“I cannot think the Devil may own a woman’s soul, Mr. Hale, when she keeps an upright way, as I have. I am a good woman, I know it, and if you believe I may do only good work in the world, and yet be secretly bound to Satan, then I must tell you, sir, I do not believe it.”
– Elizabeth (Act 2; 284)

I chose this quote because Elizabeth is being accused and she is willing to deal with critics (Proctor cheating on her), shows she’s confident. My interpretation to this; Elizabeth and Proctor have issues but she’s willing to do anything to clear her name and to not get hanged.

Elizabeth, she showed her determination to cleaning her name no matter what people would say later. She is standing up for herself. I think Elizabeth has a possible chance of dieing because Abigal is too slick right now and she’s evil. Elizabeth also is like very confident in her belief about witches (that they don’t exist). As for her relationship with Proctor, i think Elizabeth will get hurt, again.
