But Parris has already called for Reverend Hale of Beverly, who is known to have special knowledge about witchcraft.

But as we know from the conversations between Abigail with Parris and Abigail with John Proctor, the dancing had nothing to do with witchcraft. Abigail, his niece, and Susanna Walcott enter and say the town is already talking about witchcraft, because Ruth Putnam, who was also in the woods, has a strange illness, too, she walks around like a zombie. His daughter Betty cannot wake up and he is very worried about it, because he caught her and a few other girls from Salem dancing in the woods around a kettle.

Summary of “The crucibleĪrthur Miller`s drama “The crucible” starts in the upper bedroom of Reverend Parris´ house in Salem, Massachusetts, in spring 1692. He is a very fascinating man, he knows what he wants and is nearly the only one in Salem who has something you could call common sense and risks to go beyond the religious limitations and people´s narrow-mindedness of that time. I want to go into greater detail about John Proctor, because he is the person the story is really about and he is a very impressive man, he is the character you empathize with when you read the play. I read it approximate 18 months ago and I was really impressed when I first read it, not only because the story of John Proctor and his way to the gallows is heart-rending, but it is also amazing how a girl of seventeen can provoke such things as these witch-hunts.

I have chosen this topic or to be precise this book because it is my favorite play. Proctor and his view of the witchcraft-trials Proctor and the conflict between Elizabeth and Abigail
