in the crucible how you describe Elizabeth Proctor traits?

Question

I would say she was quiet, what yall think?

Answer 1

Elizabeth Proctor: The wife of John Proctor, Elizabeth shares with John a similarly strict adherence to justice and moral principles She is a woman who has great confidence in her own morality and in the ability of a person to maintain a sense of righteousness both internal and external, even when this principle conflicts with strict Christian doctrine. Although she is regarded as a woman of unimpeachable honesty, it is this reputation that causes her husband to be condemned when she lies about his affair with Abigail, thinking that this will save him. However, Elizabeth can be a cold and demanding woman whose chilly demeanor she feels may have driven her husband to adultery and whose continual suspicions of her husband render their marriage tense.

Answer 5

Keep in mind this is supposed to be YOUR opinion... I'm just giving you mine. 1. Elizabeth Proctor was unfairly arrested. She was only accused because Abigail wishes for her to be locked up so she can be with John Proctor, but she refuses to accept John's rejection. She's put herself into this fantasy world where witches really do exist, and where if she gets rid of Elizabeth, John will want to be with her. However this is in no way true. Comprehension check: Mary Warren gives Elizabeth a poppett with a needle stuck through it. This whole thing was set up by Abigail- she saw Mary Warren stick the needle in the poppett she was making for Elizabeth, and she saw her way to accuse Elizabeth of witchcraft. Reverand Hale asks John Proctor to recite the 10 Commandments, in order to check his understanding of the Bible. John manages to squeeze out all of them except, ironically enough, the command about adultery. Ezekial Cheever also arrests Martha Corey and Rebecca Nurse; Martha Corey because Giles mentioned that she read books and Rebecca Nurse because she delivered some of Ann Putnam's children, and they all died except one. 2. John Proctor learns that he truly loves his wife because he fights for her as she's leaving. [You'll have to find examples, I don't have a copy of the book] 3. Elizabeth Proctor is judgmental. She also has trouble letting things go, which is understandable because of her situation. She wants to reconnect with John but is afraid to because the trust has forever been broken. 4. Elizabeth is more to blame for their marital problems. Yes, John did make a mistake by cheating on her. But he's tried so hard for so long to make it up to Elizabeth. And she is unable to accept that he is sorry for his actions and he wants things to go back to the happy way they were. He loves Elizabeth in the way every husband should love his wife, both emotionally and physically. His lust for Abigail was purely physical, thus it lacked the special element he had with Elizabeth. And now that the trust has been violated, Elizabeth is avoiding John's advances because she's scared of being hurt again. 5. Reverand Hale doesn't believe Elizabeth is practicing witchcraft. However he no longer has any real power in Salem, therefore he can't save Elizabeth. Hale knows of Elizabeth's good standing in the community; there is no blemish upon her name. She is a good wife that takes care of her children and her husband. She has never shown any tendencies to witchcraft before. Therefore there is no reason to believe she would be practicing witchcraft. [Once again, you'll need to find your own examples] 6. So many people have been arrested because of the internal conflicts in Salem. Because each of the girls have a problem with someone in Salem, they think they can fix their problem by getting rid of the supposed cause. An example of this is Abigail's lust for John; she believes that Elizabeth is the only thing keeping her from being with John, so by stealthily accusing her of witchcraft she is able to get her out of the picture. Also, the girls can accuse anyone and they must be brought in for trial. This is because witchcraft is something that can only be witnessed between the caster and the victim. Because a witch wouldn't testify against herself, one must trust that the "victim" is telling the truth. This is part of what makes the witch trials so tricky- it's an invisible crime that can't be proven or disproven. The officials of Salem all have different motivations. Some wish to uphold their good name, some wish to be promoted. Some are doing it because people have already been arrested. In fact, later on in the play it is said by one of the characters that because so many people have already been arrested and hanged, they must hang the rest of them because they don't want to look like they've made a mistake. It's all for the good standing of their name.
