As we know, or more accurately can predict, John Proctor was hung for his alleged sins, leaving behind Elizabeth, his three sons, and the expected baby. Personally I would have appreciated some closure on the remaining Proctors' behalf. Did John's death, coupled by all the other hangings, result in a cease of the witch trials and spare Elizabeth? Or did the court wait for the baby's birth to hang Elizabeth? If so, what happened to the, now four, Proctor children, were they taken in by anyone or where they left to wander the roads aimlessly, mirroring the fate of many cattle? What do you believe happened?

I believe that Tituba was the most interesting character in the crucible so far because she is the roots of the witch trials, she was blamed for bringing the devil and the injury of a girl. But she was saying she had nothing to do with the devil and never knew one. Then they mention how they would kill her so she says she did know a devil but she had nothing to do with him, Then starts mentioning people that she knew that had an affiliation with the devil then Abigail and others start ratting out names as well. So the reason i believe she is interesting because she started the trials.

Abigial and Proctor
We learn that the affair ended seven months ago; however, Abigail makes it clear that she wants Proctor back. Proctor, on the other hand, is determined not to resume their relationship (which is just a bit different than saying he does not still want to be with). So could Abigian and Proctor possible get back together?
The Crucible:Most Interesting Character
In my opinion I think that Abigail is an interesting character. She is very unpredictable; in the first act she ratted out a lot of women in the town saying they took part in the witchcraft just so she could take off the heat from her and put it on other people. Then we find out in act two that she accused Proctor's wife, Elizabeth, of being out in the forest with them. Abigail did this because she knew that it would cause a conflict between Elizabeth and Proctor, also she did it to get rid of Elizabeth so she could be with Proctor. Who knows what else Abigail will do to get what she wants. What are your thoughts on Abigail? Do you think that she is a horrible, selfish person or is there more to Abigail than how she is seen now?

Most interesting character
I think the most interesting character is Hale. Like Ali said in Ross's today, Hale seems to know what he's talking about when it comes to the Devil and demons. He isn't afraid to speak about those types of things which makes him interesting. Hale also seems like the type of person that takes charge, he gives off this authoritative vibe.
Proctor and Elizabeth
Today we read Act two from The Crucible, and it seemed to focus on the relationship between Elizabeth and Proctor. We discover that Elizabeth knew about the affair he with Abigail, and that there are trust issues. Their relationship of wife and husband is very tense and Proctor has had enough of Elizabeth always doubting him. She has noticed that he is always defending Abigail, that's why she wants him to confront her for bringing Elizabeth's name up. From what we can analyze from these characters, can they be compared to characters from The Scarlet Letter? Also Abigail, can she be compared to perhaps Chillingworth?
The Crucible Act 1: Abigail
The character that intrigued me the most was Abigail because she is so evil and mischievous. Abigail in my opinion is the most important character because throughout Act 1, she causes many civilians consequences for actions they have never done. After being caught doing unusual acts in the forest, she carelessly began to lie and blaming others for her own problems. She seems to have a grudge on everyone. I believe her reason for her sinful and heartless acts was because she witnessed the death of her parents. Furthermore, leaving her as an orphan and left to an uncle who cares about himself more than his own niece. Therefore, I believe that her motive is to cast a charm on anyone who crosses her or anyone who she dislikes. Her past seems to affect her, mentally. For example she drank a charm that was filled with blood to kill John Proctor's wife in order for her to be with her love, John. For Abigail to get what she wants, she needs to cast spells and wish them to be killed. She also drank a charm to kill Goody Proctor. This child is very diabolical.
