At
the end of Act Two, both John Proctor and Mary Warren face crucibles:
Mary must decide to tell the truth or not about Abigail and what the
girls did in the forest while John must decide to go to the court and
tell that he had an affair with Abigail. Who should confess? Does this
person have the ability to do this? What do you predict will happen if
this person goes to the court with the truth? Why do you think this? (The deadline to post a response to this blog is midnight, Thursday, September 11, 2014.)

John should confess because he deserves needs to be punished! John has the ability to do so he just chooses to not do so ! He will probably be hanged because adultery is against puritan religion!!!!!
I think John must confess. He knows it is the right thing to do, and he must not let his wife be hanged because of his mistake. He just needs to have the courage to go against the court and Abigail. If he confess, I think either Abigail will deny it, or he will be hanged, because of the puritan's religion, that goes against adultery.
