They come to arrest Elizabeth Proctor (John's wife).
Cheever finds a poppet (a doll) in Elizabeth Proctor's home, which has a needle stuck in it. This poppet was made by Mary Warren, who had been in the Proctor household and is believed to be a voodoo-like representation of Elizabeth. Cheever interprets the needle as evidence of witchcraft, suggesting that Elizabeth used it to harm Abigail Williams, leading to her arrest.
In Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible," Cheever states that when they came to arrest Elizabeth Proctor, he found a poppet (a small doll) in her home with a needle stuck in it. He implies that this poppet is evidence of witchcraft and suggests that Elizabeth used it to harm Abigail Williams. This moment highlights the absurdity of the witch trials and the manipulation of evidence against innocent people.
In Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible," Cheever and Herrick, who are officials in the Salem witch trials, arrive at the Proctor house with a warrant to arrest Elizabeth Proctor. They are executing the orders of the court, which have been influenced by Abigail Williams' accusations. Cheever, as the clerk of the court, carries out the arrest, while Herrick, the jailer, assists in the process, reflecting the law's enforcement amidst the hysteria of the trials.
In Act 2 of "The Crucible," Elizabeth Proctor is arrested at her home. Deputy Cheever and Marshal Herrick arrive to search the Proctor household after Abigail Williams accuses her of witchcraft. They find a poppet (doll) with a needle in it, which Abigail had used to frame Elizabeth, leading to her arrest.
Cheever and Herrick arrive at the Proctor home to arrest Elizabeth Proctor as part of the witch trials in Salem. They have a warrant based on accusations against her, particularly due to the discovery of a poppet that is believed to be used for witchcraft. Their arrival marks a significant moment in the play, highlighting the hysteria and paranoia surrounding the trials. This encounter ultimately forces John Proctor to confront the oppressive nature of the accusations and the impact on his family.
