Characters: 1. John Proctor 2. Elizabeth Proctor

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 accused of being a witch.**

2. Who do you think is responsible for your problem, and what is motivating them?
 * I think abigail is responsible for my problem because she is the one who accused me. She is motivated by her love and hate for my husband, John Proctor. She loves him and wants me out of the way so they can be together, but then she also hates him because he told her to forget about what happened between them.**

3. How are you trying to solve your problem, and are you successful?
 * I am trying to solve my problem by covering for John, i am trying to make him look like a good man. I end up lying and making not only myself look bad but John as well. I make it look like John lied about the adultery to cause problems in the court. I am not successful.**

4. Is there anything ironic or contradictory about what you know and what you say or do?
 * I keep saying I am a good christian woman, but then I lied about John and abigail.**
