The story The Crucible keeps getting more intense. Turns out the rumors were true about Abigail Williams having an affair with John Proctor husband of Elizabeth Proctor. In this act you can tell Abigail Williams is looking for revenge to get Elizabeth Proctor out of the picture so she can be with John. This because not only does Abigail excuse sweet Elizabeth of witchcraft but she also excused a bunch of other innocent religious people that had nothing to do with witchcraft.
What was your personal reaction to this reading selection?
I was shocked on how low a girl can get in order to get what she wants. She is lying about everything and it even gets to the point of John Proctor getting accused of witchcraft as well. The consequence of getting blamed of witchcraft during this time meant getting hanged to death.
What do you believe the author’s intent was, and what patterns of organization did you observe?
The author intent was to give an example of communism. A pattern of organization was cause and effect. This is because this is the effect that is happening due to the cause of John Proctor having an affair with Abigail Williams.
