Who was more to blame for the relationship between Elizabeth and John Proctor?
mostly Abigail, then proctor, elizabeth,danforth, cheever, hale, hathorne and lastly parris.
What is John Proctors external conflict in The Crucible?
John Proctor conflicts with society because he does not believe that the children are "witched". John Proctor conflicts with his wife because he wants to forget the affair with Abigail but Elizabeth seems to hang on to the hurt the affair caused. John Proctor conflicts with Reverend Hale because Hale does not see the trials as false in time to save Elizabeth. John Proctor conflicts with Danforth in that Danforth will not let the trials stop.
Why does reverend hale change his story about witchcraft?
Hale has just witnessed the confession of Mary Warren that the girls are faking their symptoms of witchcraft and the aftermath of that confession. Abigail and the other girls turn against Mary and,to maintain Mary's credibility, John Proctor admits to his adultery with Abigail. Hale believes Proctor, but Danforth brings in Elizabeth Proctor to confirm the story. Danforth won't allow Elizabeth to look at John when he asks her about the alleged affair between Abigial and her husband. Since Elizabeth wants to protect her husband, she denies there was an affair, thus casting doubt on both John's allegations and Mary Warren's testimony. Danforth has Proctor lead to jail. This infuriates Rev. Hale, who has become fed up with the entire process. He sees Danforth as a man protecting the court and his own reputation rather than seeking the truth about possible witches in Salem. So, Hale leaves the court after he criticizes the methods the court has used in coming to its conclusions.
In the crucible Reverend John Hale uses what three pieces of evidence to accuse Elizabeth Proctor of witchcraft?
Hale does not accuse Elizabeth of Witchcraft. He visits the Proctor household to ascertain how religious they are. He finds three faults; Proctor non attendance at church, youngest son not baptised, and a short fall in John Proctor's knowledge of the Commandments.
What is the rising action of The Crucible by Arthur Miller?
Hale examines Proctor and his wife in their home because their names came up in court.
