The Proctors Your Name:

Characters: 1. John 2. Elizabeth

Choose one of the characters above and answer the following questions from their perspective.

The character I chose was: Elizabeth Proctor

1. What is the problem you are faced with?

I am being held in jail because I am accused of witch craft. And because I won't confess I will be hanged.

2. Who do you think is responsible for your problem, and what is motivating them?

Abigail is responsible for my problem. She is the one that accused me. She wants me dead so she can be with my husband, John.

3. How are you trying to solve your problem, and are you successful?

I am mostly relying on my husband to save me from this horrible fate. I also told them that I am pregnant which will buy me time.

4. Is there anything ironic or contradictory about what you know and what you say or do?

Yes, I know that John was unfaithful to me with Abigail but I told them that he wasn't.

5. When you have completed your questions above, go to your group’s discussion page and post a discussion about how you feel the trial is going so far. Don’t forget to use specific examples, and sign your character’s name.

6. Next, log onto another group’s discussion page and respond to a posting as your character.

Project: You must write a letter and response from Elizabeth in jail to John OR A plea of innocence written to the court from both John and Elizabeth. Both responses should be one page total.
