In Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," Ezekiel Cheever accuses Elizabeth Proctor of using a poppet (doll) as a voodoo tool to harm Abigail Williams. Cheever points out that the needle found in the doll's stomach is evidence of Elizabeth’s supposed witchcraft, suggesting that she intended to use it to inflict pain on Abigail. This accusation reflects the broader themes of paranoia and hysteria that permeate the Salem witch trials.

John Proctor, Elizabeth Proctor, Rebecca Nurse, and Giles Corey are the main nonconformists in The Crucible. Reverend John Hale, Ezekiel Cheever, Reverend Samuel Parris, Betty Parris, Mary Warren, Thomas Putnam, and Ann Putnam are the conformists.
yes you find it ironic because ezekiel raped elizabeth and made her pregnant
Yes, because John Proctor and Elizabeth thought about going to him to tell him about the truth that what the girls are doing is a fraud, and Elizabeth says Cheever knows him well. There is irony there because they trust him and thought good of him.
The irony of Ezekiel Cheever arresting Elizabeth Proctor in "The Crucible" lies in his role as a seemingly honest and dutiful clerk of the court, yet he is complicit in the unjust persecution fueled by hysteria and false accusations. Cheever's actions contribute to the wrongful imprisonment of an innocent woman, despite his intention to uphold the law. Additionally, as a character who is supposed to serve justice, he ironically becomes an agent of the very injustice he should be fighting against, highlighting the moral corruption within the judicial system.
No, Elizabeth Proctor lives. Her husband, John Proctor, is hanged.
Elizabeth Proctor/ Goody Proctor
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.
