Salem Witch Trials play
There is many meaningful personal connection that was made to a key aspects of the play. For example the people that were accused and/or convicted of something based on little or no evidence. This incident happened very often in this play. The characters that were involved were John Proctor, Elizabeth Proctor, Abigail, Sarah Good, Rebecca Nurse, Salem girls (including Rebecca, Ruth, and others), and the Putnam family are only a few who were charged or charging others for ridiculous things. Three of the main characters, John Proctor, Elizabeth Proctor, and Abigail (their servant at one point) that had a tangled mess together was over something stupid. John had an affair with Abigail when he was married to Elizabeth. In doing this, Abigail thought that John cared for her, but he didn't. When Elizabeth started to notice the difference in they're relationship, she dismisses Abigail. In court when they questioned John about Abigail, he says that she is a whore. And so then, they brought in Elizabeth for questioning and she lied when John had just told the truth. She said that John had never turned from her. So when they both lied like this, they looked foolish and was condemned.
In this society they take all rumors has hard facts and beliefs as facts as well. It doesn't matter if no one saw it happen or anyone admitting to a crime. How can the convict someone without having hard evidence? Can't they understand that it's natural sometimes when babies don't come out alive every time? Don't they know that not all children are honest and innocent? For example Abigail who is 17, and already screwed a married man. I honestly think it's stupid to blame someone else for your own problems. Their wants is only to destroy other people lives, is this the kind of community we should live in? Rebecca Nurse a lady of seventy-two was a mother, grandmother, and wife of Francis Nurse. And during this play she showed a kind and strong minded lady. She was respected in society and was very respected lady in society. Goody Nurse was accused for murdering the marvelous and supernatural murder if Goody Putnam's babies. Which these babies where all born dead. How can you accuse someone for miscarriage? Especially when Goody Nurse never went close to the babies, only to help deliver them. Abigail with such perfect lying and speaking abilities was able to fool the judge and a few others
