Hypocrisy played a huge role in the Puritan society in the crucible. For example, Abigail Williams wasn't the innocent child everyone thought she was. The village looked at her as "The Finger of God" but throughout the whole play, she's lying to save herself and her good name. First she lies about not communing with the devil, then she claims that she saw the devil and that she saw all innocent people with the devil. She's also a hypocrite because she has committed adultery with John Proctor and hasn't said a word about it.

In Act 2 of "The Crucible," John Proctor forgets the commandment against adultery, which is particularly significant because it highlights his guilt over his affair with Abigail Williams. This moment underscores his internal conflict and the theme of hypocrisy, as he struggles with his moral failings while trying to maintain his integrity. Proctor's forgetfulness also serves to illustrate the broader societal pressures and the weight of sin during the Salem witch trials, further complicating his character and foreshadowing the consequences of his actions.
In "The Crucible," the Ten Commandments serve as a moral benchmark that highlights the hypocrisy and moral failures of the characters. John Proctor's inability to recite them correctly symbolizes his internal conflict and guilt over his affair with Abigail Williams, reflecting the theme of sin and redemption. The commandments also underscore the rigid religious framework of Salem, which fuels the hysteria and accusations during the witch trials. Ultimately, they illustrate the tension between individual morality and societal expectations.
