We discussed the character development in Act II examining the relationship between John Proctor and his wife, Elizabeth, as it develops throughout the scene. They are amazed to learn that nearly 40 people have been arrested for witchcraft based on the accusations of Abigail and other girls. John Proctor knows the allegations to be untrue but is unsure how to confess without revealing details of his affair with Abigail; however, Elizabeth senses his deception based on an omission that comes out during a conversation between the two. We analyzed the interplay between these two major characters as it develops in the play and how Miler uses language and literary devices to capture the essence of their relationship.
