the crucible

A detailed Summary of the crucible

Many of the characters in The Crucible become changed by the end of the play.

Three of the characters who change a lot are John Proctor, Reverend Hale, and Mary

Warren. It is shown that John Proctor changes in his willingness to have anything to do

with the witch hunt and his moral decisions. Reverend Hale changes his personal outlook

on and role in the witch hunt throughout the play, and he changes his general attitude

towards the justness of witch hunts, the court, and the church. Mary Warren changes her

mind about her role in the witch hunt several times, and she also must change her morals

or ideas about sin. Each character's changes make huge impacts their lives and the lives

John Proctor changes a lot throughout the play. At the beginning of The Crucible,

he is willing to sit back and let things happen. He does not want to involve himself in the

witch hunt or risk getting himself into any trouble. Even though he knows that Abigail

and the other girls are lying, and many innocent people are being accused of witchcraft, he

doesn't do anything about it until his wife is accused. At

Hale, and Mary Warren all change a lot, whether by their willingness to have anything to

church and court. John also changes in the sense that, at the beginning, he withholds the

beginning of the play he believes that he, as a witch hunter, is doing God's work by either

with saving the lives of innocent people by making them lie and confess to witchcraft, than

accused of witchcraft, she gives up, admits to working for the Devil, and blames it on John

must be a really big sin. Later on, though, she changes her mind, and tells the truth. She

letting them follow the right path and die with a pure heart and soul. Reverend Hale also

and have caused this witch hunt just to protect themselves, but Danforth won't listen.
