In Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," Reverend Hale tests the Proctors by questioning their religious devotion and their adherence to Puritanical beliefs. He specifically asks them about their church attendance and their familiarity with the Ten Commandments. Hale's inquiries reveal the Proctors' struggles with their faith, particularly John's inability to recall all the commandments, which he attributes to his guilt and personal struggles. These tests serve to highlight the moral complexities of the characters and the weight of societal expectations during the witch trials.
John Proctor cannot recall one of the Ten Commandments. He forgets "Thou shall not commit adultery."
One example is when Reverend Hale told John to say the 10 commandments and John forgot the last one, which just so happened to be the one he broke, which was adultery. Elizabeth was the one to remind him that adultery was the one he forgot.
