In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, some of the characters showed courage when the live’s of their loved ones were at risk. One of the main character’s in the play was John Proctor. He showed courage when his wife, Elizabeth was accused of being a witch. When John found out that it was Abigail Williams, John’s mistress, who accused Elizabeth he said, “Fear nothing. I’ll find Ezekial Cheever. I’ll tell …showed first 75 words of 304 total…

…showed last 75 words of 304 total…monstrous profit in it. She thinks to take my place, John.”(p.61, Elizabeth) Elizabeth also said, “You’ll tear it free - when you come to know that I will be your only wife, or no wife at all! She has an arrow in you yet, John Proctor, and you know it well!”(p.62, Elizabeth) Another issue that made it difficult for John to prove Elizabeth was innocent was that John did not attend church.
