A crucible can be a severe test of an individual's beliefs and strength. By the end of Act Three several characters have been tested. John Proctor, Elizabeth Proctor, Mary Warren, and Rev. Hale have each made changes in their lives because of these witchcraft trials. Select one of these characters and explain what you feel his/her test was in Act Three and if he/she passed or failed the test and why you belief so. CATCH: YOU CAN NOT DISCUSS THE SAME CHARACTER AS THE TWO PEOPLE WHO ANSWER BEFORE YOU. YOU MUST SELECT ANOTHER CHARACTER. (The deadline to post a response to this question is midnight, Friday, March 21, 2014.)

Elizabeth Proctor's test was to see if she would tell the truth about her husband committing adultery. She did not pass the test in court she lied for the first time in her life, in court, to save her husband not knowing he already confessed. She lied for the first time in her life because she really does love her husband, John Proctor, which proves she passed the test in her loving her husband.
Mary Warren's test was to see if she could finally tell the court the truth. She was able to tell them the truth, but then soon after Abigail drove her to turn her back on John Proctor and she took back everything she had said before.
