Report Cards for Puritans
One definition of crucible
is a personal or severe test. In Act III, both Mary Warren and
Elizabeth Proctor face crucibles. Comment on what test each is given and
then decide how each has performed. Give them grades and justify why
they have scored thus. (The post closes a midnight on Thursday, September 18, 2014.)
Mary's crucible was to tell the truth about the girls and be strong. She failed it, because she could not be strong enough to go against Abigail and accused John instead. Elizabeth's crucible was to tell Danforth about John and Abigail. Even though she lied and said John never had an affair, she passed because she lied to protect him, and showed she truly love her husband.
