***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.
***Giles Corey: An irascible and combative old resident of Salem, Giles Corey is a comic figure in The Crucible whose fate turns tragic when he unwittingly leads to his wife's charge for witchcraft when he wonders what it means that she reads strange books at night. Corey is a frequent plaintiff in court, having brought dozens of lawsuits, and he stands with Proctor in challenging the girls' accusations, having heard that Thomas Putnam is using charges of witchcraft to secure land. When Corey refuses to name the person who stated that he heard Putnam declare his intentions, Corey is charged with contempt of court and dies when the court orders him to be pressed with stones to coerce him to admit the name.
