The Crucible Analysis Worksheet
Context and paraphrase
In Arthur Miller’s play The Crucible, set in Salem during the witch trials of 1692, John Proctor and his wife Elizabeth struggle to rebuild trust. John has had an affair with Abigail Williams, a young woman who now accuses others of witchcraft. Elizabeth suspects that Abigail’s accusations are driven by personal motives. John is angry that Elizabeth doubts him, but his own guilt makes the conflict harder to resolve. Paraphrase of a moment between John and Elizabeth: Elizabeth asks whether John has been fully honest about seeing Abigail. John rejects the need to prove his honesty and admits that he once gave Elizabeth’s judgement too much authority over him. He insists that she should look for the good in him rather than condemn him. Elizabeth replies that she is not judging him: she suggests that his own conscience is doing that, and says she still considers him a good man who is confused.
